| What is your most beautiful component? cary audio slm-200 monos and gershman acoustics avant garde rx-20 speakers. i'd give a nod to my 47 labs shigaraki gear and supratek chardonnay, but they've already received votes. :)kevin t | |
| Full range bass powerful speakers $5000 Help i prefer the gershman acoustics avant garde rx-20. they go for $4895 new, but you could likely find a pair used in the $2800-$3200 range. the spec from 24-20,000 so they aren't completely full range, but i doubt you'll ever notice the difference. ... | |

| Suprateks with Remote Owners - Help well, i was able to program the volume controls on the ff and rew buttons. not ideal, but it'll do until i can actually get the vol up and vol down button to learn the codes. c'est la vie. | |
| Not recognized in their lifetime? haven't heard the jadis or quad, but i love my cary mono amps. the music just pours out of them like liquid joy. if the used jadis is the same price as the new cary, then i would tend to figure that the jadis cost more than the cary. not that more... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century mine shipped on wednesday 3-23 and i picked it up from fedx on friday 3-25. the shipping is super fast. the build time is something else. :) | |
| Give me a tube preamp that looks and sound great i once had the arc sp-16l and now i have a supratek chardonnay. though i had some other pre's between the two, i don't remember the arc exhibiting as much emotion as the supratek does. the supratek just brings out the life, body, and emotion of th... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century last i heard it was supposed to be non-oversampling, non-digital filter and retail for about $500-$700. that's about all i've heard from mick. | |
