Description

This is close to my end game setup, but thinking I'll upgrade to the BAT Rex Power Amps.  Next immediate steps are subwoofers and upgrade the streamer.  

Needless to say, with 60 tubes cooking when all is on you can fry a ribeye.    

Vinyl:
Dr. Feickert Volare 25th Anniversary
Hana ML low‑output MC cartridge
BAT VK‑P5 SuperPak phono preamp

Tape:
Revox B77 Mk I reel‑to‑reel deck

FM Tuner:
Magnum Dynalab MD‑100T Triode Tuner

Digital:
Balanced Audio Technology REX  3 DAC

Preamp:

@kirkwallace  Thanks.  It's taken me 40 years to get here and I'm about to go through a major change by moving away from analog as part of my attempt to simplify my life. 

Regarding the rug, I checked to see if the old paper tag was there.  Alas, it was not.  We've  had it more than 20 years along with several others most of which are folded and stored.  It's made from a tough, soft luxurious wool and we enjoy it, but I've long forgotten where in was knotted.

Lovely system. The (antique?) rug in the foreground also looks very fine. Where was it knotted?

Please show us your interesting system!
