I know I have been a bit of a wild child in the last year when it comes to gear swapping, but I'm done for awhile:smile:
The addition of the BAT VK150se mono's, with the Cary Dac100t, has opened my system up to levels I am completely satisfied with! My wife even commented on how the soundstage opened up much wider, something I did not teach her, but completely agreed with. I have been ENJOYING music for the last few weeks, instead of trying to figure out how to make it better. And its a great place to be.

P.S. Tubes are definitely my cup of tea!(or glass of Grey Goose:wink:)

    Hello, bobsauto49. Congrat's on finding your audio nirvana. It's a hard thing to find for some. Are you willing to take some constructive criticism or not at this time?

    [this has nothing to do with the gear BTW]
