Many of us here have seen our system evolve and change over the years. From hardware, cabling, accessories and media it has all changed at one point or another.
Mine has seen it's fair share of changes over the years. On two occasions the system was totally replaced. And, as we all know, media types have evolved over time and I've gone from vinyl to tape to CDs and now to digital audio. Each of those media changes resulted in system hardware upgrades as well.
So, with all those evolutions over the years, here is my system as it is configured today:
- McIntosh MX151 pre-amp/processor
- McIntosh MC501 monoblock amplifiers (2) - Front R/L speakers
- Emotiva UPA-1 monoblock amplifier - Center channel speaker
- Emotiva UPA-200 two channel amplifier - Rear speakers
- Aerial Acoustic Model 8 front speakers
- Tannoy Mercury V - Center channel speaker
- Vienna Acoustic Waltz Grand - Rear speakers
- McIntosh D100 digital pre-amp/headphone amp/DAC (used as an external DAC)
- Schiit Freya + tube pre-amp (used as a tube source)
- Oppo BDP-93 disc player
- Panamax M5400-PM power centers (2)
- Synology DS415+ NAS with 4 Samsung SSD installed
- Wyred 4 Sound Remedy reclocker
- Raspberry PI 4 Model B (used as a Roon Endpoint & digital bridge between the NAS & D100)
- Samsung QN75Q80R 75" monitor
- Roku Ultra
- About a mile of Wireworld cabling
