RIP Eddie Van Halen. What was your first stereo you rocked to VH on?
1982 Diver Down Cassette on my Candle "4 Speaker" "Ghetto Blaster".If you look at how many "hits" they had between both Sam & Dave (couldn't help myself there), it's quite the catalog. Never saw them live or Tom Petty (regret it now of course). 
BAT VK-5SE vs 50SE
I just bought a VK-5SE used mint condition from The Music Room (display is dim but can be replaced from BAT). I love it. Best Preamp I've ever had. Incredibly flexible and the sound is luscious.It feeds an Orchard Audio Amplifier modules @ 300W/4Ω... 
Bose 901 Series 1 & 2 versus KEF 104/2's and 105/3's
To the 901 Haters (you've obviously seen the New Record Day & Thomas & Stereo Video's), you obviously haven't heard a pair of the Series 1 or 2 Bose 901's (their best IMHO) setup properly with a Custom miniDSP curve dialed in for the room....

Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"??
I run five Series 1 & 2 901's with PS Audio M700/S300 Amplifiers and a PS Audio DirectStream DAC Sr. along with Balanced MiniDSP Boards with my own curve dialed in. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/bose-901-2/post?postid=1948262#1948262

Bose 901
So here's my take on the Five 901's I own (all Series 1 and 2). The Series 3 - 6 are plagued with the foam rot that most Vintage 1970's/1980's Speakers are guilty of. But who the Hell want to re-foam the surrounds on 18 4.5" Drivers.I removed the ... 
Who buy PS AUDIO ?
I think their stuff is awesome. Bought the SGCD, traded it back to them for a DirectStream DAC Sr. Paid the difference in price with an additional discount. Also own x3 Stellar M700’s for L, C, & R. Future purchase is an S300 for the rear surr...
