Gone from my 2 channel system is my Cary SLP-05, which has been replaced by an Ayre KX-5 twenty. Maybe it's the synergy with my Ayre phono pre, but after an extensive A/B I felt the Ayre made a significant difference.
Also, upgraded my VPI's tonearm and cartridge. Added the fatboy (unipivot) and an Airtight PC7.
New pics to be posted soon..

This system has gone through many changes through the years. Gone from the above are the following:
Two Channel-
Oracle Paris TT
McIntosh MC202
Sonic Frontiers Phono Preamp
Benchmark DAC
Cary 306 SACD
Canton Reference 9 Speakers
Home Theater-
Rotel RSP 1066 prepro
Anthem AVM30
Denon DVD2900
Oppo BDP 83
Sherbourn 1500/A 5 ch amp
BMW CDM 9NT/1NT/CNT
Anthony Gallo Strada
BMW CDM NT sub
For awhile I was using the Focus Audio speakers as double duty for both stereo and HT, but now I only use them for all things surround. The Thiels are strictly for 2 channel. The REL works with both systems (LFE and Speakon cables are swapped depending on which medium).
As a former Thiel owner myself, let me just say your system is spectacular! Love the 3.7s especially with the class A amp and tube preamp. Well done. Enjoy!
