You know you've done a pretty good job when you play one of your favorite recordings and you get goosebumps during certain passages of the song.

Happy to meet everyone on this forum, and to learn, exchange thoughts and share perspectives anytime.

How'd you like your 352 and what happened to it?
Mahalo - I loved the 352...until I heard the 601s I do truly think the 352 will go down in history (if not already) as a classic amp and coveted by Mac collectors. I always thought that its strengths were the warm sound and super deep sound stage that it could produce. And of course that beautiful totally flat glass panel from an aesthetic point of view.

I think I finally got this configured the way I want it!

The Shunyata Triton V2 and Typhon sitting below my Artisan Fidelity Garrard 301 Statement turntable in piano black lacquer.

Ortofon transcription length 12" tonearm and Ortofon SPA Royal A phono cartridge. That goes to Auditorium 23 Hommage T1 Step Up Transformer, designed for just this low output Ortofon cartridge.

Then we go into the McIntosh MP-1100 phono preamp. That feeds in to the McIntosh 60th Anniversary C-22.

From there to the McIntosh 60th Anniversary MC-75 mono blocks. And away to our exhaust pipes, the Tannoy Canterbury SE 15" dual concentric speakers. This is an old school 100% analogue rig! The 60th Anniversary set is serial number 001. Everything you see is dedicated to vinyl.

Very nice! I had a pair of Canterbury SE at one point with Shindo Cortese 10w SET and Shindo Massetto preamp. That was a magical combo. Enjoy your system!

MisterBritt,
Love your setup. We have similar systems but I must say I really like your final destination. The photos even sound good. Enjoy!

Sweet set up and nice job on putting together your analog rig! The energy and dynamics of a well set up Garrard 301 are legendary.
