Before....
Current........
Today I dusted off a half-broken, taped-up Nikon D40, and learned that even its cheapo kit-lens still kicks the crap outta iPhone 6 pics -- this should've been obvious, I guess.
I think I've posted in this thread a few times before, but here's what the stuff looks like today. Most of the big components have each been in place for 2-5 years now. Koetsu Coralstone is new. Upgraded cabling is mostly new. BHSE is recent (currently lacking an overview pic of headphone setup; sorry). Mazda silver-plate 12ax7 tubes in phono stage and amps were a surprise big upgrade (over even the excellent Telefunkens). All these changes added up in a significant way. Easily the best sound I've ever had on both the speaker and headphone sides. To the anti-cables crowd: I understand your concerns, and I don't care.
It's a good thing I don't have any other expensive hobbies -- e.g. I stopped buying expensive red wine (beer and vodka is fine), and still use this crappy D40!
