This is a work in progress, slow, but progressing as budget allows. The Tidal Piano's are a limited full range speaker that is extremely neutral, resolving, and very dependent on up chain electronics. The BAT vk5i is getting very dated for me at this stage. I've had it 10yrs, a big move up at the time, but now is the limiting factor for better transparency, resolution and prat. I need a better preamp for sure. The 50wt/ch Canary's are exact copies of Western Electrics' 300B tubed amps. The Piano's could definitely benefit from more wattage, but I'm not a big fan of SS amps and don't have the space or money for a big tubed amp. Though I can say, for now, I'm not wanting more.

I'm diversifying my sources with the new Nottingham Space Deck, and eventually, a Mac G5/Lynx card to Berkeley audio dac using Amarra software via Itunes. I've heard a similar music server setup and was floored by how good it compared to vinyl.

I just moved into a new old house in Chicago and my most imminent need is getting the system setup, and get a few acoustic treatments. In all, I've got a way to 'musical nirvana'...if indeed it exists at all ;)
