With all this equipment, by far the best sounding is the Foreplay/Dynaco combo driving my towers, being fed an LP. No sub, no digital, almost no silicon. It has a presence and realism that I've only heard from tubes, and these speakers can really put out the bass while keeping a very focused and detailed midrange and high end. And best of all, it didn't cost big $$$ for any of it.
