In building a system, I have tried to choose components that I felt would serve my goals of musical truth the best. The question for me has been how close can I get to the truth.to the original sound in all its glory? I’m not interested in ‘High Fi’ sound or Hearing ‘Air’ or other deviations from the original sound.

I questioned if I had just made a big mistake?!!! Those where my first thoughts.and they have changed dramatically in the days and weeks since then.
