I've been involved in audio since the late 50s and I've been a member of this forum since 2014 but, only made my first post this morning (I guess I'm getting slow in my old age).
Here is a picture of my system as it is currently configured.

Very nice. I heard and really liked 802D but have not the biggest boys! Big fan of AR also.

Thank you! I do like my Omega and Rolex watches but, find I'm using my Apple watch more these days. I'm a former Apple Systems Engineer. I also like driving my Z06 corvette. :)

Great system! The 801's are my favorite B&W speaker, I can imagine that the ARC electronics drive them perfectly.

Welcome Pacha, I know a gentleman (John) with the same turntable; who is really happy with the sound of his Millennia, SME Tonearm and Eclipse package ;-)

Its sound like good one of the best i have ever seen.How its sound like. And welcome

Over the last 50+ years I created several different types of systems, the main ones consisted of Maggies with Threshold electronics and Apogee with Krell electronics. This system is the most satisfying I've ever had. Warm, smooth but, with dynamics, detail and punch throughout the range. I will probably only make small upgrades to this and it will be my final system.

Hello Pacha, I lived in Albuquerque NM, actually rio rancho estates, when it was only 25 homes !
Graduated from West Mesa high for my last 2 years of HS, was originally from NYC. I too collect watches and pocket watches. I also owned 4 Corvettes, 2 of which were Z06’s. I’m a retired IBM engineer starting back in the punch card days.. we have a few things in common..
Enjoying the forums here and some Memories of simpler times..

I love the simplicity of your system sir. It must sound really satisfying with both tape and vinyl. I see your biggest tweak and possibly the key to success is that sign on your phono.
