This is the main system in our apartment. Going back to the early 90's, the system had been comprised of primarily Adcom equipment and had not seen much change for almost a dozen years ago. Started reading Stereophile religiously and joined Audiogon and viola ... a near complete transformation in the makeup of the system, as well as the amount of time that I spend on this hobby.
It started when I got serious about CD players and purchased a Stereophile Class A SACD player. Soon after that, I upgraded to Musical Fidelity amplifiers and then changed over to tubes. And then in 2014, I added two turntables to the equation. I am happy with this evolution and once I get the choice of cartridges to my liking, I see myself sitting tight with this set-up for a long tiime.
We listen to a fairly wide range of music on both redbook CD's and SACD's. We like a sound that is smooth with the right amount of warmth and good detail and depth.
As I have said in previous posts, the next must do upgrade is a move from a 3rd floor apartment to a house. Northern winters do not mesh so well with my surgically repaired back and a house and some sun would be nice.
I like the glass block idea. It gives me an idea. I'll bet if you put two glass blocks, side by side, on end on the left and the same on the right, with a piece of tempered glass or stone on top of these supports, add another layer of block and glass. You would have a great AV rack/TV stand.
