I actually had a dream about the current gear that I have, it was about the Yulong A18, D18, and U18 (ok, just the Yulong A18 and D18, it was about a square box in similiar shape and form). I almost picked up some TEAC gear because their gear, at least at the time, was similar in shape and size as my dream, and I thought it would be my TOTL level gear. Two weeks later a posting shows up for the Yulong Stack and I quickly traded my Feliks Audio Elise for it (I'm sensitive to treble and apparently it was too bright for me, though it sounded amazing with the Modi Multibit). Honestly the set has kept me amazed with it's sonic qualities. I still remember when I first heard it and was blown away at how romantic and how it's stage was. It was "like sitting in at an ampitheatre in the back". You can probably find the post where I first posted about it. It has a "tubey quality" to it that kept me satisfied, as I read in post, though I didn't understand how tubey until I got the Euforia a few weeks ago.
Back on topic, I think the point I wanted to push was that it felt like it was destiny that I was able to hear this sound, a sound that I believe is TOTL. Overall I'm looking for that Grandness in sound, and in that gear, I know I can always come back to it and be satisfied. It's so romantic sounding with great extension and all the positives I could ascribe to it.
Anyways, the only reason I'm even going out to get new gear is to experiment with new sound and see what is out there, but I also plan to start a blog.
