The speakers are Zu Soul Superfly. I no longer use a CD player as a primary source. I now use a computer and DAC with all the CDs copied to disk along with high resolution files. The amplifier is a push pull HY69 driven by TungSol 5687 as voltage amp and 6F8G as driver tube that I designed and built during Covid. The screen is hooked up to the computer running J-River and allows me to select the music.
