avantgarde uno
the avantgarde are by far the best and most musical, italso casue a chain reaction for me to go to the world of tubes, surrently using the tom Evans Linear A which is perfectly mated to the avantgarde. Think the journey might be coming to and end as there are just fewer choices and less room to improve.
