Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it?

mine started on a I wonder what I can really hear with my tinnitus and always having Solid State for mainly Surround for movies.. So saw Raven Audio Black hawk tube amp somewhere and 45 day test and thought why not.So it arrived and was very surprised but also noticed my 30 yr old Mirage speakers were showing signs of decay.. So replaced with cheaper Raven Audio speakers and big difference and now decided to step up to Raven Audio larger amp the Osprey and with some nicer tubes in it and what I was hearing was amazing .. And decided then to go all out and get the best Raven Speakers they had and was not disappointed for 5 years... And started wondering if more could be heard with my hearing issues I have then  decided to try the Raven Audio Reflection and the sounds this produces has me a very happy customer and for sure there are few things to do but working in shipbuilding for 41 years I a blessed to be able to hear the tones I hear even with tinnitus...

I am fortunate to have worked with a good dealer though it took me about 5 years of constant gear churning here on Agon to figure that out! Once the dealer started taking care of me SQ improved immensely as did my self confidence as to what really sounded good. That confidence allowed me to grab a cheap pair of used tubed monoblocks for fun and have them sound amazing. Zeroing in on the sound you want is key to me.

First Pass amp initially bought from friend after hearing it regularly for 6 months. Pass upgrades all from Mark at Reno HiFi - great guidance, pricing, trade in policy, shipping and all returnable...BAT preamp after hearing one in friends system -  bought "open box" with full return privileges...first Cerious cables bought on ebay at great price and was simply curious - many upgrades bought directly from Cerious, Bob Grost takes great care of his customers and everything returnable...everything in main system bought with full return privileges...

@jond not gonna lie when I met Hans at Infigo Audio it changed my life. Designs stuff with low noise floors great soundstages and imaging.  I had already had my gato speakers which were a perfect match. Extremely happy with my system. 

@jl35 agreed Bob Grost is a very fine gentleman not using his cables right now but they are excellent and good value. @calvinj I don't know Infigo but glad it's working out for you.
