Description

I have been at this hobby for about 12 years and music has never sounded better at home. I am really enjoying the analog front end which was added January 2009. I rarely listen to CD anymore. Anolog is has been quite a learning experience but is beginning to pay off. Analog is definitely not plug and play option.

Spiritofmusic,
Yes the Salvation terminator combination is pretty special at a price that won't break the bank. Without going into all of the audiophile lingo, it sound more like music. There are only a few Salvations in the US. Did you listen to Tom's in Ft Wayne? I love the Terminator because you can easily experiment with small tweaks to improve the music. I recently sold my Meridian G08 because I never listened to it after the salvation arrived.

System edited: I have concluded that music can not get much better without significant additional investment. I can get different sound with different equipment that is consistant with the basic price of of my system but not necessarily better.
