| Weights on a preamp Geeky overkill. | |
| Tubes at Best Buy. Yes, it's true. I've been the proud owner of the Sharper image unit since I heard it at an audiophile neighbor's house. It literally blew the doors off my VTL Wotans, and I've never looked back. It currently drives 8 pair of Bose 901s...sounds great! | |

| Best stand mounted monitors Spendor SP2/3s or 1/2s ... they are addictive. | |
