I'd like to listen to that set up - with a variety of recordings. Some systems sound amazing on certain recordings and get massively found out when switching genres. Would be educational one way or the other, I'm sure.
The best audio system on earth?

I agree -
- It's the same as endless discussion 'best headphones', 'best-watch', 'the best-possible camera/lens, for ...' - well, comparable answer: the one you have-with-you, at the time you want/need to use it ... when having any such thing thing that just makes you want to use it more, is the key.
Happiness lies in wanting what you have: not - having what you want.

I’m always amused at the music played at hi-fi shows.
Don't forget too, the one that fits in your room....
The majority of those hi-end systems with 8ft tall speakers and power amps on their own pallets just make me cringe, you'd need a mansion to fit them in. Those slim, tall Danish ones in the second room make me ask Why would you do that? Ugly, and poor use of space. The ATC's on the other hand are function over form which I'm much happier with.
Nothing to do with Linn Glasgow per se. House of Linn is a Manchester-based hifi retailer.
I have worked at many hifi shows worldwide for a major manufacture. Rooms are a lottery.

Going well enough for Lotus Hifi to cherry pick and use as a 'reel' on Instagram and for Boyer to repost.

Through my rose tinted memory , I went to a Linn ‘show’ in Park Lane, London around 35-40 years ago where they had different rooms with different levels of set up. I remember being marvelled at the synergy of a lower level LP12 and Linn Tukans. I’ve had a fondness for Tukans ever since that show ….

I’m inclined to agree, heard something similar, at a Hifi show, very realistic.I think you will find this is the greatest hifi system on the planet, and John Atkinson agrees.... his "I saw god.... lottery win" system.
Bit spendy though, but probably similar to the Boyer system
It’s a shame it has to look like that though.I think you will find this is the greatest hifi system on the planet, and John Atkinson agrees.... his "I saw god.... lottery win" system.

Don't forget this analogy was for someone who cannot hear any difference in cables, and I needed to make it as simple as possible for obvious reasons.

The best system for me is the one I’m least uncomfortable with. The fewer questions it asks, the better. My core system of Yammy amp and LRS speakers doesn’t leave me with questions or uncertainties. It’s even handed with varying recordings and I always enjoy the music. The Systemdek I added is a great match. The A60 tuner the same. The Wiim Pro Plus is a little gem as well with an internal Dac that is just right. The Rotel CD11 Tribute is simple and very listenable. The only thing I’m not using is my headphones and headphone amp so may need to move these on. So the best system is the one that leaves the least questions I think.

I look forward to your future posts when you‘ve bought more little miracles and changed your system again.

I bet that made all the difference.
