System Overview

This is my first serious venture into 2-channel reproduction. The system itself is about three and a half years old. I picked up the Mirage speakers for an amazing deal from an old friend, which got the ball rolling. I used an Outlaw Audio RR2150 for the first 8 months or so with great results. I then decided to give my speakers more of what they were craving (current and power) and called Klaus from Odyssey. Within a few months I had a Stratos Extreme SE and a Candela in my system and of course it reached new heights. I have been very happy with the Primare CD21 and have no plans of changing in the future. What can be seen on the horizon is a vinyl setup, which I'm currently researching as well as streaming lossless music files from my Macbook to an appleTV through a Scott Nixon Tube Dac.
