Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?

I see that this thread is still alive. So:

A couple of years ago I shipped my Lumi and M120 mono amps to Scott Frankland for repair and upgrades.

The Lumi was treated to the most significant upgrade Scott could do. The result? "WOW"!

He also did a more modest upgrade to the M120 amps. Still: "wow"....

Cables are now all from Grover. A very good bang for the buck.

The rebuilt/upgraded Chapman T7's continue to sound terrific.

I do minor tweaks here and there. The latest is using a Mapleshade platform under the Shanling CDP with brass cones under the platform and ball bearing supports under the player.

Still more than satisfied (after all these years) :)

I confess to being lazy about tweaking the room with sound treatment. I have not done so.

Yet.

Definitely the Berning zh-270. I certainly wouldn't mind trading for the Berning Quatrature or maybe a future dream offering from David, a 50 watt SET zero feedback Class A with zotl circuitry. Could it GET better than that, a wide bandwidth SET triode with real bass! I have heard this is not a dream, a prototype does exist.

Magico Q3 with Rowland 8T amp.

HiDiamond cable. All of it.
