Dave Hlubek RIP
I saw them live a couple times back in the day. Unfortunately, don't remember a lot about it though, that point of my life was pretty blurry.  
Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money?
Superphon Rev Preamp. Ridiculously good for the $75 I spent on it used in the early 90's. The Chinese tube mono amps ASL was selling in the late 90's were way better sounding than there asking price. Lowther speakers with the right amps are incred...

Hey Arte,Landed, Saw Delight, & Flow Motion. All three of them are also good. Flow Motion is a little odd (even for them), but still solid IMO. Of them I think the only one that is currently pressed is Saw Delight.

Valvet E1R Mono Amps

Low noise, neutral, high current power cord for wall to power distributor
Oyaide Tunami is an awesome PC. It is less money than what you have stated you want to spend. I haven't tried the Furutech model you have listed but suspect that one would be good as well. I'm running one of their cheaper priced ones to my preamp ...

Valvet E1R Mono Amps
Skiroe,The amps are developing nicely. Still improving. My biggest concern for them was stage width & depth which was less than the tube amps I've had in the system before these. That concern is now out, these amps go wall to wall with a nice ...

+1 on the Korneff amp! They are great products. I run Lowther speakers with an REL sub. The Lowthers demand quality low powered amps, as they are ruthless with anything even marginal. I have a Korneff single ended amp that powers them (currently t...
