I am just an initiate on the path toward audio-video nirvana, but I am ever-mindful that my focus should always remain on the journey itself rather than the destination, lest the path should turn dark and become an all-consuming obsession.

"Once you start down the dark path, forever shall it dominate your destiny." -- Yoda

It has been a journey where an open mind and a willingness to challenge commonly-held preconceptions has led to many wondrous discoveries. In this way, and at this precise moment, I find myself utilizing the following equipment:

Power Conditioner: SurgeX SX1115RT
Digital Audio Player: Apple Mac Mini (iTunes on OS X)
Digital Audio Media: Apple Lossless
Digital Audio Interconnect: Halide Design Bridge
Optical Disc Player: Sony Playstation 3
Optical Disc Interconnect: AudioQuest Forest HDMI
Pre-amplifier/Processor: Emotiva UMC-1
High-Definition Display: Sony KDS-R70XBR2 SXRD
Analog Interconnects: BJC LC-1 Sereo Audio Cables (pair)
Subwoofer Interconnect: BJC LC-1 Subwoofer Cable
Power Amplifier: Elan D400
Speaker Cables: AudioQuest Type 4 (pair)
Subwoofer: Martin Logan Abyss
Speakers: Martin Logan Motion 12 (pair)

I am particularly curious as to whether anyone in this forum finds themselves using any of the same equipment.

Ever onward!
