My rig (discussed some
HERE - and there have been developments/updates since then :cool: ) is moderately upper-end. Yamaha TopArt, Sony ES and Sony XBR Vega, Polk Audio, Thorens, Revox, VPI, that sorta stuff ... a roomfull and many thousands of dollars of it, along with literally thousands upon thousands of vinyl LPs, reel-to-reel and cassette tapes, CDs and DVDs.
Now, "ultimate"? Well a few hundred thousand dollars, Krell, Martin Logan, Mark Levinson, Creek Audio, Lynne, BATK, AVID, Faroudja, Lowe ... ohhhh ... gotta quit; this dreamin' hurts
