Best Component Ever, for the money

Ming Da MC 84-B integrated. Under 400.00. A 40 pound beauty with a midrange to die for.

Ruark Swardsman for 60.00, pair.

Sony XA7ES CD Player, DEMO from Sony Factory store, 399.00 w 1 yr. factory warranty.

Maggie 1.4 Ribbons, 375.00 mint OBO. Almost like the 1.6's, just cheap.

Current Onix 60 watt integrated. 175.00 Great tube sound, looks like Audionote amp.

Arcam Alpha 5 Integrated, 225.00. Great mids, and wonderful phono.

The new Panasic sa-xr55 receiver!

So far for me the best buys for the bucks have been the Legacy Audio Classics speakers, under 2700.00 for them in rosewood. The Parasound Halo JC-1 amps for 6,360 a pr. are a steal as far amps that can sing like these do and have the power to go with it. My used Sony SCD-1 for 2300.00 might be my best buy so far. The sacd is awesome and I'm using it also as a transport into my Audio Aero prima SE DAC, for redbook that is out of this world good.

VPI HW 19 MK. IV...used for $800 these days!
