Goner's your Top Five Picks for Preamps & Amps

I like CJ gear but feel it lacks in the timing department and the bass can be a bit off. The CJ preamps are soem of the best in the worls, bar none but I like what Blue Circle does. I woudl suggest the BC24 or beter yet the hybrod 120 watt BC28! The sweetness of a tube amp with complete control of the bass

Power amps:
Any of the Lamms are good.
Halcro is very good (high resolution).
Tenor audio has some good tube amps.
ASL Hurricane is a must audition (affordable).
spectron Musician II (affordable digital).
Van Alstine (affordable hybrid).

Pre:
Hovland HP100
Aesthetix castillo
First Sound
CTC Blowtorch
SCE HRS to Placette Passive (affordable)
