nice!
i was looking at high-end audio from about the age of 12, checking out absolute sound and stereophile at the newsagents. bought my first 'proper system' at 23. been adding from there, but still use some of those original components, which still hold their own in today's system.
i also recently added an arc ref pre and power; they are very nice when they break-in!
such a wonderful hobby! it gives me so much pleasure.

I couldn't afford both hobbies, so gravitated more towards cars/tracking (though there is less chance of crashing your stereo into the wall
)

I used to be way into audio hobby myself (read all the magazines from a youngish age too). Most fun I had was learning to design and build my own tube amps (mostly low power single-ended triode stuff made from super rare European pre-war tubes).

i alternate between the 2 hobbies.
first was hifi, then cars/tracking, now back to hifi.
cannot afford to do them both at the same time, hence no gt3 here.
mooty (in high-end denial) keeps hounding me to get the gt3 but they begin at 100k here for a 996, and i will definitely not give up the audio. i got the sickness pretty bad too, and one can never be done with hifi.... (it never ends!)
just wait till the AF-0 comes out....

I have a buddy with the same Allnic Phono stage and he has their new DHT DAC too. SK Park (designer) came to visit him and he's a great guy.

Holy Mother! What a system Rockitman! Don't see many that can top that. All I can say is wow.
I went with a nice Meridian set up more geared towards theater. Decent projector and 13ft screen. Still get great 2 channel sound but nothing close to yours. Well done sir.

to go completely off topic, I see some of you (aussie jimmy, mooty etc) are into high end audio which kinda goes with the age thing. Some stuff I have
Krell 350mcx mono-blocks
Audio Research Ref Pre
Magnepan 20.7 (got rid of the pesky Wilson WP7's)
Cullin Modded PS Audio DAC - Intel based JRiver music server
