With regard to your list I would really like to try the Atma-Sphere amps........ |
I would like to try the Bluesound Vault 2 |
Michael Fremer's analog setup on the front end of my system. |
No-one mentioned Lamm Statement amps or whatever he calls them? Or Kharma Grand Enigma or again whatever it's called? Or reference Jadis system? Or Allnic top of the line electronics? Or Focal Grand Utopia speakers? Or what's the name of those superhorns, Godo?
Heck, where are Walker and Rockport turntables?
I am surprised. |
Perversely, I would like to try some gear I could actually afford to buy if I had a good year at work. Top on that list is a Melco server. |
The big Gryphons and big Tidal speakers side by side. |
Top of the line Montana and pbn audio |
Tannoy Westminster Royal SE, Altec Volte 5 with mods aka Jeff Day and Yazaki-San, Yazaki-san model DA-3 tube amplifier, Kondo Audio Note 300B (all of them), Dueland Crossover, Garrad 301 turntable with the plinth and Stillpoints mods advertised here on Agon with Pete Riggle woody arm and various cartridge. Best, Rob

Agree with " world going freaking crazy ". Makes this hobby even more valuable. |
A full set up of period WE horns and amp stack, probably with the EMT 927 turntable and that EMT phono stage that is in current production.
|
A tubed dual mono phono stage w/volume controls with an extra passive input for the day when I have more money for a digital source. The Coincident Ststement phono reads like it would sound good for my purposes.
|
I would like to hear a pair of Daedalus "Argo" speakers and the
"Tempus III" from Ryan speakers powered by Modwright KWA-150SE. |

@trutopia2 We're not all rich we are talking about auditioning not buying necessarily I know I can't afford any Kondo gear but I do want t hear if it's as good as advertised. |
My thought for this thread was not so much equipment that was realistic to afford......just equipment you would love to try.
|
Is everyone rich but me holy crap! And I've been happy with my Adcoms and Audio Alchemy DTI and DAC's over the years! Maybe I shouldn't have had so many other expensive hobby's Motorcycles and Photography. Still playing the lottery hoping for enough so I never have to go anywhere since the world is going freaking Crazy Anyway!! Rock On!
Peace,Sam

I would like to hear the new Carver Line Source Speakers. |
I'd like to try Oswald Mills speakers with my 300b integrated and an Audio Note DAC 5 with all Audio Note cables. |
Right On! chayro-
I too would like to demo the latest/greatest in cd/sacd spinners. |
I would like the Metronome Kalista transport and the matching DAC. I think I would be satisfied with that. |
|
I'll just go shopping with jmc... |
After hearing lots of talk about Tidal speakers I would love to try the Piano Diacera's in my system.
|
Being most a low-powered tube fan, I would like to try something completely different, such as the YG Acoustics Sonya speakers with Bridge Audio Labs amplifiers and linestage. For phono, the Lyra Connoisseur phonostage. Now, how do I get the $500,000 or so to make this possible. . . |

Not that I am unsatisfied with my current dac,
but I'd love to upgrade my Lampy L4 to a Golden Gate. Lukasz Fikus is a genius!
|
I’d like to audition the Ocellia 300b mono blocks (with their silver wired output transformers) and TW Raven 300b SETs to hear how they differ from my SET.
Tonian Labs Classic 12.1 speakers with the amplifiers listed above.

I meant no Rowland etc. mentioning integrated amps not their top of the line offerings. Same with VAC. His integrated, as excellent as it is, won't give me enough drive. Gryphon Diablo, $15k I guess, would be kind of inexpensive choice. Ypsilon hybrid is $25k. But frankly, I would go with older separates from Gryphon, Lamm, Vac, Rowland or Pass for about the same cost, but not for $15k I think unless I am very lucky. It is much more difficult with speakers. |
Anything from Kondo/Audionote Japan. |
So, realistically thinking, I would first audition couple of integrated amps, Gryphon and Ypsilon come to mind. I don't need no Rowland or Pass or Accuphase. Then, Nottingham Anna Log turntable and a SME turntable. And speakers, I don't know, I would listen to anything under $25k. Echole cables. |
Arc ref 210's, ref 5, and Wilson Sasha 2's.
nice and fancy, but relatively realistic as well! |
Nothing that I would never be able to afford or want to spend on. |
