What equipment do you really like?

A big plus for equipment in my eyes is stuff that delivers excellent sound, for not a lot of money. There seems to be more of it around than we often realize. Audio Electronic Supply, AudioQuest(I have no experience with the new line), Axon, Bryston, Cambridge, Coincident, Creek, HomeGrown Audio, Jolida, Musical Fidelity, NAD, PSB, Quicksilver, Rogue, Silver Audio, Sunfire, Triangle, and Vandersteen. For stuff that isn't really in the budget class, the list includes Air Tight, Cary, Electrocompaniet, Granite, Jadis, Jeff Rowland Design Group, Kimber, VAC, and YBA. My apologies for those I have forgotten, and I am sure there are a fair amount.

Soundlab U1's, CJ ART and Premier 8's, Basis Debut or Simon York S7.

Dunlavy VI's. Currently have V's, II's and I. Although V's do almost everything right, just knowing there is bigger and better(?) model out there make me lust after them.

On the amp/pre amp side there is this mystique about mark Levinson electronics....

May be with bigger dedicated room, everything will be better...

My present system: Sound Labs, Atma-Sphere amps, CTC Blowtorch and Vendetta preamp, Rockport turntable, G&D transport, Entec DAC, etc. It cost a bundle but I'd do it all over again because it sounds like live music.

My entire system consists of, 2 MC7150 amps, MR78 tuner, C42 pre-amp, MVP831 DVD/CD player, MC7008 CD changer all McIntosh, along with 2 MC ML2C speakers modified with tweeter towers, along with the MQ101 that was made for them, 2 Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home speakers and 2 Sonus Faber Concertino's and a Tice Power Block 3 conditioner. What I most like about my Mac units is there reliability! I hear to many people talk about extremely expensive units they own that are in for repairs more than in their listening rooms.I've heard some really fine sounding stuff over the years, but for my money and listening pleasure, it will always be McIntosh
