What one product has redefined music for you??

I bring this up only because i bought a new pair of speakers today. They startled me in that they redefined what i understood was the structural organisation and sound that i could expect from hifi.In other words i rediscovered my entire music collection. So much so that I didn't recognise a lot of my favourite musical pieces as they were replayed through these speakers. There were rhythms and interactions that i had never been aware of before and which helped me understand the musicians aims so much more than before. My whole perception of what was capable from hifi was turned upside down, by this one product alone and i have been enjoying hifi for 30 years mostly high end.

My reference speakers were stacked quad 57's and yamaha ns1000 ( highly modified crossover. The speakers that i listened to tonight had a single bamboo originated driver 3" diameter in a box the size of a kids shoe box! They are absolutely gorgeously built. No it aint got no deep bass and cannot drive a moderately sized room, but that's not the point.

The question is not meant to take price into account here but I paid £100 for these posted!!!! The company is Vintage Lab Audio.

Has any one else felt this way by one new product??

Rest of audio system platine verdier/ET parallel tracking arm/audio note cartridge, audio note silver sig power monoblocks.

I have had many instances where one product redefined music for me and thought I might be able to say that one stood out. I failed. Certainly walking by and hearing Infinity ServoStatics stopped me in my tracks. Hearing them later with ARC Dual 75s and the SP-3s stopped me buying anything more for nearly four years. Much later hearing the Beauhorn Virtuosos with their Lowther drivers and NO crossover again stopped me from buying much for several years, until I heard the Combac Reimyo PAT777 300B amp on them. Wow! Finally, I have had several smaller but clearly important steps in improvement in the H-Cat P-12 line stage resulting in the final product. The H-Cat amp is the final experience which has redefined my musical reproduction.

I would love to have my 1970s ServoStatic/ARC/Linn tt with Decca London available in an identical room with my present system. I think that the new is far superior, but I would like to see how much.
