Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?

B&W 802 Diamonds! I'm building my new system around them. I have some old Mac gear and Mitsubishi automatic turntable and arm with a Grado X6 cartridge. I am using Analysis Plus Black Oval 9 speaker cables and Oval One interconnects, and considering either an Oppo BDP105 or Primare BD32 universal bluray player. Later, I may decide to install a McIntosh surround sound processor and multichannel amp. However, I am primarily interested in good stereo music, and if my old reconditioned MC2505 amp and C26 preamp are up to the job of driving the 802's, I may very well take the advice of Normanseizemore, and be happy with my stuff, old and new.

TRL ST-100 stereo tube amp
TRL Dude preamp
Intuitive Design Gamma Summits
Mosaic Suspension Bridge power conditioner
Mosaic ICs and SW
Sistrum SP101s
Starsound technology Energy room (the room is part of the "system after all)....

Mcintosh MA7000, Monitor Audio GX300 speakers. Could not afford the PL300's.

Almost there. Finally found a PSE Studio IV amp, added a Cal Audio Tercet MK IV CD player and a Luxman T117 tuner, Cardas speaker cables and Discovery Signature interconnects..older KEF 102 reference speakers ( go the 80's)...this summer will slip in a Cary SLP50 pre and a sub and only trod the Audiogon boards to window shop.

for me, Conrad Johnson electronics. Transparent Cable/Cords. I am still auditioning both cd/sacd players and speakers.
