The base for the system is hi-tech furniture with oil-damped tubes, big spokes and marble platforms on small spikes.

The source is the CD player Lektor Prime from the Polish manufacture Ancient Audio with a Philips CD-Pro2 LH transport and 6H30 dual-differential tube output stage.


The preamp is Leben's RS-28CX, a little gem with tubes but no remote - what a pain!


Leben's CS300 integrated amplifier I use solely as headphone amplifier - it is a huge challenger for other dedicated headphone amps. The headphones you see are K701 AKGs.

Polish loudspeakers by Harpia Acoustics are the Dobermann model which I have been using for two years. I've heard better loudspeakers like the Wilson Audio System 8 but it was a close call and five times more money. The Dobermans have 1st-order crsossovers and run Norwegian Seas drivers.
