Great site even for people like me with little experience. I learned a lot from the expertise and knowledge of many members here. Since my retirement, I was able to build speakers, multiple Bluetooth modules and even a 2.1 power amplifier. Let's say I am appreciative of sound quality, thinking you do not have to spend zillions to satisfy your taste. I do not mind having 120VAC going through low cost relays so I can control from a distance. Ha ha.
Main system is a rack of transports, TEAC A3340S, Panasonic SV-3700, Tascam 112B, patched to a Behringer ADA8200. (digital to RME)
S.MS.L. 500 managing a Cambridge CXC CD transport, PC USB, TV optical. Balanced out to RME.
RME Fireface UFX (mixer) linked to an old Apple iPad II bought refurbished as a remote control. Balanced out to MiniDSP.
MiniDSP balanced (discontinued)
DIY amp, with Icepower 50ASX2SE and Icepower 50ASX2BTL. Powered by keychain relays!
TangBand W5-2143 in small DIY TL boxes. (Japanese instructions!)
Reconditioned Velodyne ULD12, gutted of faulty electronics.
And for more heavy stuff, UREI 809's, powered by Adcom 555 II, with SVS SB-4000 (bought discounted with scratches). Equalized with 2 Rane ME30. AudioControl SA-3050A. Old style.
I know it sounds like a lot of money but the Velodyne, the UREI's, the Adcom and the transports are 30 years old; other things were put together over the years.
