What gear do you want to demo?

@yyzsantabarbara - great choices

DIPTYQUE AUDIO - seems like a panel speak but with better bass extension than Maggies

PLAYBACK DESIGNS - the Dream DAC might be my end game target, but the new Lampi Poseidon DAC also looks like a fantastic sonic buy

@larryi

The fabled magical sonics Lyra Connoisseur phono stage that will stand the test of time. Great Choice.

I’ll add another fantastic component that stands the test of time:

Berning 211/845 amplifier - Berning has a great reputation/reviews across his product line, and this amp is often mentioned as sonically as amongst the best amplifier of all time

Good choices kennyc.  I’ve heard the Voxativ fieldcoil in another system and it is quite good.  I have heard, and liked very much, Pure Audio Project speakers with the wooden horn and coaxial driver options, but not with the Voxativ.  I share your interest in hearing it with the Voxativ fieldcoil.  There is yet another Voxativ fieldcoil that costs $60 k per pair.  
 

I would also like to here the AER backloaded horn single driver system with their $60 k drivers.  This is like a Charney Audio system on steroids.

G.I.P. Laboratories makes some giant horn systems and fieldcoil Western Electric drivers to match.  I’ve heard their drivers but not their horns.  The drivers are very good, but some are crazy expensive (e.g., $60 k for a pair of tweeters).  
 

I would like to hear in my own system the Lyra Connoisseur phono stage; I heard it in a system at a show and the system sounded really good.

@jond ​An original Kondo Ongaku is something I'd love to hear.

No you wouldn't. I've owned 3 and while they are a bit bloated in the lower registers ....are not accurate and are very warm and earthy sounding. Not my cup of coffee.

phono stage in five figure land...what am I missing?

Some Devore O96s with my Decware Mini Torii

Kennyc, I think you got it covered.

An original Kondo Ongaku is something I'd love to hear.

Good post! My demo wish list:

1. Totem Bison towers

2. Some Ls3/5a speakers (Falcon, Rogers or a few others)

3. Pass Labs INT-25

4. Accuphase E-280
