    • Legacy Audio Signature III's
    The Legacy Signature III's perform WAY above their price point. 94db efficient, the ARC REF-75 SE just coasts through all kinds of music. This speaker is no longer made, but they can be found on the used market for good prices.  They sound their best with tube electronics. The only change made to the speakers was to change out the stock binding posts with Cardas' best copper binding posts. The speakers are bi-wired with Von Gaylord Audio speaker cables.
    • Perfect Path Technologies The Gate
    This is the ONE thing I would buy if I were just starting out on the tweaking quest. The Gate is no joke. It transformed an already great system into something that is indescribable. Retails for $5,000 and performs well beyond it's price point.
    • Perfect Path Technologies Omega E-Mats, Total Contact contact enhancer, Alpha E-Cards.
    These products work really well with The Gate. The effect is cumulative. The more you add, the better the sound. The Perfect Path products reduce RFI to the level of being non-existent. With The Gate cleaning up the power throughout the entire house, the lowering of the noise floor of the audio system is amazing. The TV system too.

Great looking system, OP. Very impressive record collection, too!  I appreciate our contributions to the threads.
