Lazi- are you an audiophile? Are you familiar with high end audio gear or mainly studio gear only? Just curious... I like talking high end audio and music. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I am a recovering Audiophile. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I sold a lot of my gear a few years ago, which consisted of a Counterpoint Tubed PreAmp, and a Cary Tubed amplifier. Thiel Speakers. Thorens Turntable, and an obscure Yamaha CDX 1050 CD player for the front end. This stereo dropped a lot of jaws. Still have Yamaha CD player, and my Thiel Speakers, and am looking at tubed gear again. Pretty set on Conrad Johnson.
I built a Leach amp years ago, which I sold after a heart attack. Needed funds to pay for 120k Hospital Bill. For those of you who are good with electronics assembly, the Leach Amp is one one hell of a solid state amp, which for a build price of under a grand, is as good as any 3k amp out there. Professor Marhall Leach was the Audio Engineering Prof at Georgia Tech, and is a highly regarded contributor to the field. Look it up if you are so inclined.
