Incidentally, in discussing restoration engineer Andreas Meyer, I mistakenly gave him credit for engineering Murray Perahia's later Sony recordings - that engineer/producer was, in fact, Andreas Neubronner.

My system, which has evolved over 20-plus years, is tube based and many pieces were acquired used. It was mostly put together with the invaluable help and ears of Eliot Midwood at Acoustic Image (acousticimage.com) who is also responsible for many of the fine recordings on the Yarlung label.
