Addiction to Brand

I'm with you on the Aerials - love my 7b's...
Pretty hooked on my Classe stuff too.

Um, kind of a Linnie too, but don't currently have any of it.

I used to love my little Sima PW3000 integrated - that company is now Simaudio and I could see myself going back to that should the Classe ever die.

Jensen caps, Arcturus tubes, Switchcraft plugs, Riken Resistors, anything by Screamin' Jay Hawkins or Hermes.

Pass Labs!

Yes, definitely! I'm a fan of amps made by Nelson Pass, or any one who worked with him in the past, especially, Michael Bladelius. I also like Conrad Johnson, MBL, Basis, Benz Micro, Martin Logan, and Ariel speakers.... but all of it better be wired with TARA Labs RSC cables.

Well, addicated is way too strong a word in my case, but here are the manufacturers that I currently look to first when I get the urge to upgrade:

( ) = Equipment I currently own

Analog Equipment:

(Basis)
Brinkmann
(Dynavector)
EMT
Galibier
Koetsu
Triplaner

Electronics:

Atma-Sphere
ASR Audio Systeme
Audio Research
(Ayre)
EMM Labs
(Lamm)
(Resolution Audio)
VAC

Speakers:

Apogee
Avalon Acoustics
(EgglestonWorks)
Rockport
Sonus Faber

Cabling:

Jena Labs
(Nordost)

And yeah, I know, my cabling list is too short. But I just have not gotten too much into auditioning cables, even though I know I should.

My two cents worth anyway.
