Designer Hall of Fame

Based on what I am hearing from a Magtech amp I just purchased from Roger Sanders (owner of Sanders Sound System), I would think that he probably belongs in the Designer Hall of Fame. An incredible sounding amp with power to drive any speaker. I have a pair of Duntech Speakers that I bought 23 years ago and when I hooked up the Magtech amp I almost fainted. The sound was unbelievable. I've never heard an amp before that just takes complete control of the music. The realism of this amp is scary. It is truly the best sounding amp I have ever heard and I have had quite a few top rank amps in my 52 years as an audiophile. HAPPY DAYS are finally here.

How about Horace Short? His amplifier was ground-breaking in 1899. Powered by compressed air, it didn't even need electricity:)

Myself off course (i m joking ) .

I would suggest Andy payor of rockport for speakers and turntables , by the way ,i ve never heard them as there is no dealer/importer in holland , its just the way things are made .

For amps and digital mr Yamada from zanden audio , as his amps sound wonderful

I'd nominate any of the builders of Chinese built products that perform way above their market value, i.e., Prima Luna, or the Grant Fidelity 3400B SET integ...toss in a pair of Shuguang Treasure black 300B's into the GF and it will compete with virtually anything mentioned thus far. Before trashing the suggestion try it against your mega dollar setup and you'll hear what I mean. I don't use the integ often, but it's the one component in a system that has a revolving door for components that I've never considered parting with for its performance/price is far too good to part with. Which is a lot more than I can say for many a high priced ticket item I've owned from many manufacturer's on the initial list of this thread.
