What components would you put into the best money-no-object music
system in the world?

I nominate:

tube amp: the WAVAC SH-833 - $350,000
turntable: Rockport Sirius III - $70,000

What should be the other components: speakers, preamp, tuner, DAC, cd
player, etc.?

The Rockport is FAR from being the best TT out there. I've heard it,
I've heard the Continuum, and I've heard the Clearaudio Statement, and
my favorite 'table/arm combo is still the Wilson Benesch Act ONE with a
Breuer arm, which can be purchased for a fraction of the price of those
others.


What difference does it make ?


You missed the point Graham,


Maybe not ?


which was for Marc to brag on Usenet about all
the expensive hardware that he has "heard". No doubt Marc heard each TT in
a different place, on a different day, with a different audio system
attached to it, and probably even with different source materials. Yep,
really close, fair evaluations. NOT!


I was thinking something similar.
