what is the best amp you've ever heard
Art Audio Jota and Wavelength Triton Blue. 
Tannoy Glenair 15?
Buy them. You can't go wrong with Tannoy 15" DC.

Arts Audio Joto
The Jota is a wonderful amp. 
SET sound without a lot of money
Cayin A-300B

It seems to be a law of the universe that all tubes have 200 hours on them. 
Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range

Neotech NEI-3001 vs Harmonic Tech Magic Mk 1 IC's
I have the impression that Neotech makes most of the single-crystal OCC cable used in high-end ICs and speaker cables, e.g., it looks like my Atlas ICs are Neotech right off the spool with plain-jane outer jacket. I love Acoustic Zen cables, and m...
