Stephen - love your vinyl rig - aesthetically pleasing and I'll bet it sounds great, too.

Thanks. Yes, those are Resonant Woods speaker stands; they are made from solid figured maple. Made by a craftsman in NY, Brooks Tanner, that is a big Harbeth fan and audiophile.

Thanks, Mark.

It's a fairly "modest" system as far as some systems go, but I've put a lot of thought into the product choices and setup to obtain a maximally engaging experience in listening to music.

Even down to "Usain Bolt", my home-made signal grounding system. LOL.

Thank you, Ivan and Tony.

Yeah, its sounding rather remarkable these days. Denali, the Shunyata NR PCs, Sigma Ethernet and Alpha USB have made the biggest improvements I've made to the system in the better part of a decade. It results in a very engaging system to listen to.
