Had my last listen. It’s coming with me but I think they will have even less space than they do now. Grateful I never go around to buying a unit for them that fitted the space, was the last thing on the list 😅 Such as 🎶

okay so looks like B&W 603s and maybe an auralic streamer and/or dac to the left then a 300B or 2A3 tube amp on the right and a vintage accuphase integrated up top? would love to hear more about your system sometime!

You sir have an immaculate eye. The system was inherited from my farther, while most of it is now very outdated it’s beautiful to listen too and sounds like my childhood. The soundstage is big, the highs are crisp and middle is liquid. It has a lot of detail and you can hear the space between the layers. The biggest flaw I hear in it is that the base can be too tight, sometimes it feels like it just wanted to give a little bit more. I think it’s a slightly opinionated listen, it’s warm, although never muddy. From discussions with my farther that was an intentional decision he made as the music he listened to was not originally digitally recorded and he found that digital sources always lacked a glow that he could hear in analog. So for him it was perfect. https://warpcast.com/scopecr33p/0x67773a81

When it comes to the classics I listen to a lot of jazz, blues, and folk/rock (think of the likes of Dylan/Morrison). The tubes fit these well, it’s never fatiguing. Of more modern stuff I love listening to ambient on it (Four Tet’s three really stands out as something I’ve loved listening to on it). I’ve also really enjoyed listening to more experimental rock/alt artists on it (BCNR, Mk.gee, racing mount pleasant), I find their music really benefits from having the separation between the layers. I have it on my list to dedicate some time to listen to more modern jazz artists so I’m not just listening to Coltrane and Baker.
