The spouse is allowing me to set this up in our infrequently used parlor. Speakers: Really love AJ's Soundfield Monitor as well as GR NEO3S. Pre: AVA Ultra II, awsomely musical. Amps: AVA U70, love this amp; Virtue 1.2;and awaiting the new Synergy CA. Sources: NAS MAC Mini - Squeezebox touch - AVA Vision DAC. Denon TU-1500RD (bone stock-no mods and sounds excellent). Cables and sundries: Ratshack and 14gauge stranded copper with banana plugs I don't care to spend more on voodoo.

Other Comments
I still enjoy a well captured FM signal with good programing content mostly at the lower end of the dial. I was a Navy Comms Officer once (COMMO), still addicted to RF. Also, fondly remember FM in the late 70's early 80's when I was a kid.
