A lot of dissimilarities from that photo.

I like the photo though. Maybe I'm just a hi-fi dork. Is it a McIntosh tube amplifier behind him? Would be befitting.

Here's a discussion from 2011 where folks pieced it together:

Wired summarized that discussion into a photo gallery:

- Michell MK1 Gyrodec turntable

- Denon TU-750s tuner (Sitting atop Threshold pre amp)

- Threshold FET-One pre amp

- Threshold STASIS-1 amp (Not in photo, seems to be an educated guess. Some debate whether the speakers are powered and maybe an external amp wasn't needed.)

- Acoustat Monitor 3 speakers
