| Your Favorite Sounding Power Amp, $5000 US Retail max. Depending on speakers Pass XA25 or Van Alstine if you need more power. | |
| What Recordings Of Yours Did Not Age Well? All Chicago Lp's after 3 and some of the later ELP why I bought them I don't know. Also the Rolling Stones after Tattoo You questionable purchases. | |

| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 Another Ayre fan purchased used about 3 years ago and ended my search for a phono pre. It seems to do everything well. | |
