Used to, many moons ago before I shifted house the second time. Now using very bare set, can't even called a Hi-Fi. Maybe a "Med-Fi".

HT, simple all in a box Pioneer from days when dinosaurs ruled the earth. As for hifi, locally sourced (Malaysia) tube amp, ancient bit stream philips cd player and a bit more modern (but by not much) marantz cd player, same brand (as the amp) dac and kef coda floor standers.

I would love to, but nowdays 99% of my song listening is in the car.

One can only dream of a full Mcintosh setup....hmmmm....paired with Sonus Faber speakers

This may be a bit off the tangent, but I was into point-to-point handwired tube amps when I played electric guitars.

There is a guy who runs Ceriatone Amps in KL makes world-famous tube amps. Who would have thought. He doesn't build audiophile amps though, but his guitar amps are  :thumbsup:

Ya, me too.
Spend more time with family, especially children.
Only once a fortnight, can only rest and listen to hi-fi music while poring through magazines/books on watches. That also on a Saturday night if no appointment with friends or colleagues.

I have my complete Naim system (CD, Power & Pre Amp, Speakers) about 5-6 years ago.  Will not likely upgrade due to limited listening time nowadays.  It has so so soundstaging and OK tonal accuracy but rhythm is excellent.

I still have :

Acurus Pre Amp RL 11 from Mondial
Acurus 150 A Amp from Mondial ( Mondial also manufacturer the bigger brother Aragon series of amplifier)
Paradigm floor stand speaker
5 disc Yamaha CD player which is not working
and
A new addition of Ipod Dock to be hooked to all of the system
All the interconnects are gold plated though ..(spade to banana)

But then the last time I remember crancking this things up was years ago .

Now kids and family and other hobby had taken over :)

Even a used one still not cheap! If you want to let go your used units for a couple of thousand, do let me know!  ;D
