RE: What's the best system/set up you've ever heard?

For me it was a setup at Duke LeJune's house when he still lived in New Orleans. The speakers were Gedlees. Duke was assembling these for a while with the permission of designer Paul Gedess. The preamp was a John Curl Blowtorch feeding a Richard Gray designed prototype SET tube amp built into an open plywood box. It was pretty crude. The amp was hard wired directly to the speakers. There was a non-rescript Panasonic CD player that had been sent off and modified by some mod company providing the material.

The sound was a mesmerizing, electric, religious experience. I've heard some nice and very expensive systems over the years, but nothing really compared to what I heard that night. I heard the Gedlee speakers on three other occasions, but they never sounded like they did in that particular setup.
