This is an attractive and well put together system.I would imagine you have much realism,beautiful tone/transparency and exceptional emotional connection with your music.I agree with your impression of the BPT-BP 3.5 Signsture, it is a superb product.Congratulations on a really nice system.

Thanks! I looked at your system and see that you too are also a fan of Yamamoto and the wondrous tone of the 101D in a preamp.

Nice system. Is that a cigar humidor and scotch bottles I spy on the left rack? If so, you are my kind of guy-enjoy!!

Yes, but the humidor is woefully empty. :( There are only a few Padron and La Finca sticks sitting in there. The scotch is all Laphroaig (10 Year Old Cask Strength, 18 Year Old, & Quarter Cask). I've tried a couple other Islay Scotches, but always return to Laphroaig.

Great system! I also have the Manley Chinook but paired with a VPI Classic and a Benz Glider SM. One thing I noted is that your picture of the Chinook must be your previous phono stage tucked under your turntable. The Chinook as you know is going to need more real estate; hopefully you didn't have to displace the Laphroaig and the humiodor! Other Islay scotches I enjoy are Lagavullin and Ardbeg. Cheers!

Thanks. I haven't gotten around to taking new pictures yet. Should get it done this weekend or Monday. I got the Manley in last Friday and just got it dialed into my cart. It's serial number 4. :D
I've tried Lagavulin 16 and Ardbeg 10. I think I'm more a Laphroaig fan than Islay fan at this point. I felt the Lagavulin was too dry and the Ardbeg almost had a sweetness to it that I didn't enjoy. Still, it's always fun getting to the bottom of the bottle.

System edited: I sold my Transporter SE and have built my own Music Server. Right now I'm just using a 3.5mm to RCA cables until I can decide what DAC to run. I'm leaning toward a Mytek Stereo 192 DSD DAC right now.
