Jeff Rowland Model 1
I think some vintage gear sounds fantastic still even among the newer stuff out there in similar price ranges. I also think looks is something that effects our ownership when we have it. Not needed but it does effect it. Now I have had the Rowland... 
First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions

My system sounds better than ever.......Yet, I STILL bought another preamp!!
