Rega P9/Apheta, Nagra BPS, Naim Nait Two, Linn Kan IV's. Electronics on Mana, speakers on Kan 2-stands. And there's also a Naim CD3 (1995) that still sounds fine, but hardly gets any use.

Nait Two is a very fine amplifier of course, but the real gem in my system is the little Nagra.
 
Been there a while Tony I just find they suit the 3012 better than MC. I tried my best to like that SPU but in the final analysis it was just to rich (coloured?) and smooth for my taste, which may be due to its age but it had to go. I tried a cheapo Stanton first and thought it too good to be true. Not Tried the Black Yet.

I will try and pop down next week for an hour or two if your about, is any day better than another?

I've a load of other stuff, av kit, computers, pro-audio gear and whatnot but the above is the main thing I listen to and I love it.
 
What a wonderful range of systems you guys have got from the simple to the complex and at all price ranges too. I think it's great that there's so much variety here and so much stuff that I've never heard of before. :cool:
