Congradulations! Nice system. I was able to ease into enjoying the music and no longer upgrading about fifteen or twenty years ago. I have really enjoyed the music during periods of non-upgrades... then I reached a point where upgrade made sense... I would go through a quick set of upgrades and then not for another five or ten years. I upgraded about three years before retiring... about six years ago with the intent of staying where I was. But I got a DAP for travel... and ended up upgrading my headphone system which led to another cycle on my primary system... I am waiting for a couple more components, then will be done again for a long time. As I have gotten older, I have less enjoyed the upgrading process and more enjoying my system. So, I have no problem dropping any interest in new components once I have completed it.
On the other hand. I understand addiction, the need to publicly announcing your change in behavior as a way of aligning social pressure with your desire to change your behavior :-). I hope it works. You clearly have created a world class system... it is hard to see how you could want any additional upgrades.... good luck. If you are successful in make the transition... I assure you, it is wonderful. |
Excellent system Mitch, and congratulations on finding your way off the merry-go-round, or at least a way to drag one foot a little.

When I read the title, my immediate reaction was, “yeah right!”. Holy crap. Nicely done sir. That’s a fantastic start on done if not actually “done”!

Great way to spend a cold winter in Vermont (or anywhere). Congratulations on the journey.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments - I’m really happy with the sound and appearance of the system. Symmetry and synergy are related.
I pulled the 2000T, plugged the amps into the 6000 V2, and plugged the preamp into the dedicated 20 amp circuit. First impression is it’s an improvement but it’ll take a while to identify/quantify. Pulling the 2000T left a hole in the middle of the middle shelf for which I was already prepared. I love Murano glass... |
System looks terrific. Bet it sounds terrific too. Welcome to the show.

+1 on Murano glass. :yes:

truly a no-expenses spared build .. amazing system, probably the best system I've seen yet on here.. Gives me something to aim for some day. I dare say this is the last system you'll ever need or anyone could ever want. BTW.. I dated a woman long distance in Vermont, I fell as hard for Burlington as I did for her... was entertaining moving there for a while, which would have saved me enough in housing costs and taxes to maybe afford such a system! But alas, it didn't work out and I'm still stuck in my condo in the SF Bay Area... for the price of a nice home in VT! |

I’ve done all this in the last 10 months. The only things that are original (from where I started) are a pair of Stealth Cloude 99 power cables. I intended to just get to the finish line and it snowballed from there, as things happen to do. I can be mildly obsessive in my collecting...witness below. Cheers, Mitch |
