It is now 2015 and I have finished my Lamm Signature Triad(ML3,LL1,LP1)It is without a doubt the finest I have seen or heard,I am done with electronics.I am still using the Avalon Isis,it just grows on you and never gets old.I am still up to date on my Walker MKV,I added the oiless and carefree compresser,what a dream.I added a second Troy signature for the ML3s and it works superb,I also am using 4 Thor SE grounding cables in the system and they are a tremendous achievement.I am using Dalby audio single and Duo isolation feet under all my components,they are a component unto themselves.And last but not least the latest and greatest Elrod Diamond cabling to tie it all together.I almost forgot the MD 809 Internet Tuner,a real work or art.
Absolutely amazing,have not heard a speaker in its class.After 2 years I just love everything about it.

These cords just blew me away,never heard anything like them.Hats off to Mr.David Elrod
Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond V
It is a real joy to listen to,pulls every nuance out of the groove and has tremendous transparency and detail but never gets fatiguing.A real work of art.And with the latest update to the air supply,it really puts the Walker over the Top of any table made.
Lee Dalby Lignum Vitae Vinyl Stabilizer
This thing crushed my beloved Shun Mook,it is made with brass,ebony bullets inside and Lignum wood.It is a work of art.
Walker Audio Reference Motor Drive
Does its job well,locks in the speed and keeps it there.

Takes clean AC to a whole new level,and the results are stunning.
Tripoint Troy Signature
If you thought the Troy was something special wait till you hear the signature,pure magic.
Bybee Super Effect Speaker Filter
These are the only filters I will use in my system,all positive improvements and no negative,first time I can say that about a filter.Super stuff.
Harmonic Resolution M3 Isolation Base
Put 1 under my turntable,preamp and amps.These really work well and highly recommend them.
I heard most people keep it loose. I have the Harmonix. Honestly, I like it but depending on the LP no clamp is better some times. Depends on the LP. I did compare the Harmonix to the Shun Mook. If I had the $ I would have done it. It was subtle but better than the Harmonix, which is better than the others out there.
Thank you for the kind offer. Right now Aruba is getting swiped by a category 2 hurricane. All seems OK for now. Thank g-d the Maxx IIs are on casters in case I need to move them. I remember why I pay for that flood insurance every year. All the other equipment is raised off the floor.
I live in Aruba. Come to NY every month or more. Kids live there. If you every take a vacation my doors are open. The review would appear in Soundstage, but within a year or so. I used to own the SL mk III years ago. It was great but not as transparent as my Placette I replaced it with. The VTL is as transparent as the Placette. I never heard any of the new CAT equipment. I remember its neutrality and wonderful construction.
There is a review of the Legend coming out soon. I was strongly recommended to listen. Maybe I will. Dying to hear you system on day. A lot of equipment I have never heard but am incredibly curious about.
Robert, Incredible system. if they are as you described then you are done for many years. Your entire system is to be commended. I always loved the Avalon house sound except for the restrained dynamics. With the new larger diamond tweeter & 7 inch midrange everything should play much louder with much less strain. I was easily able to hear the strain on the Eidolons & that put me off. If they were a little less expensive I would think of following your direction. Instead I am going w. the Maxx IIs shortly. I admire your direction in electronics as well. Everything is first rate. I am curious how you find the Transparent Interconnects. I am using the latest generation of speaker cable but have shied away from expensive interconnects these days instead running balanced home made cables (which honestly do the trick). The speaker cables were always night & day but the interconnects (I never listened to Opus, Only reference MM) the difference wasn't worth the money. I instead decided to wait & put the $ into the speakers. Do you find the Opus interconnect to tie your system together that much more?? Have you compared it to Nordost or others??
Also, I would love to see some photos if you get a chance to post them.
