I wouldn't classify myself as an audiophile, but more of a music lover.
With the above being said, the goal of putting together this system was being able to listen to the music, not the equipment. I feel like I've definitely accomplished that goal.
Air Tight, Lampizator and Harbeth culminate in an organic and musical sound that's simply easy to enjoy for hours on end. Jerry Garcia has never sounded better.
Even though my system is pretty simple it took a lot of experimenting to get where it is today. Aside from (too much) direct experimentation with new gear, the feedback I got from fellow Agoners was essential. The Air Tight amp is a perfect example of receiving recommendations to try a new component---and having it be a perfect fit.
In looking at your system, I see you're a vinyl guy that has crossed over to the "dark side" with the Atlantic DAC--glad to se you're enjoying it. The Big 7 is my 4th Lampizator DAC and I can say that, for my personal listening tastes, it's truly amazing. I could not give a higher recommendation for their products or customer service.
