| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo thielist...thinking about it again, I highly recommend that you decide on one component at a time.

| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo I've always considered Pass Lab to be one of the best solid state amp designer in the industry, having owned and listened to many of their XA and X models, I'd have to say the D'Agostino is on the same level. Never had extensive experience with an... | |

| Reel to Reel tape decks No, I don't have a favorite but if I were to recommend just one deck for someone just getting into reel to reel it would be the Otari MX-5050 BII.This machine is built like a tank, has many speed, track, equalization options, plenty of available p... | |
| Reel to Reel tape decks Yes, you can still get most of the tape decks repaired by techs on the tapeheads forum, most of them just need cleaning and lubing.I have a Tascam BR-20 pictured in that article, modified Studer-Revox PR-99, and an Otari MX5050. All running great ... |
