If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear
I haven’t heard any of their gear. It may sound great, but its being marketed like a lifestyle product. Kind of like Bose for the nostalgic, wealthy, or aspirational audiophile.  Harkening back to a golden glowing, transistorless, horn-filled past... 
Hearing aids for audiophiles.

Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog?
Regarding Manfred Eicher of ECM fame, here is how it happened: Once CDs effectively killed off vinyl, Eicher was all-too-ready to terminate LP production, which is exactly what he did. He preferred the sound and convenience of CD to LP, which I re... 
Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog?
Yes. Manfred Eicher (ECM) no longer produces LPs. Case closed. 
For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question.
Components: JRDG- audio jewelry.Speakers: Marten Coltrane- I love the wood and carbon tombstone look. 
I love sad music
My Dying Bride- “Turn Loose the Swans” 
Are there any tube amps that don't give off any---
