absolute best component you ever owned

Ah-soo, the "Ah-soo"!

You were nice enough to provide the thread and the advice on the "Ah-soo" Tireguy, and all I did was wax (that one is for you RC) sardonic. Writing a wrong ... my current amp, Rowland 8TiHC.

My opinion, for what it's worth.

Hey Tireguy gullible is writen on the ceiling, "where?"

I had a Mod 3 from Audible Illusions and sold it. What was I thinking? I have a pair of Meadowlark kestrals that will never leave my domain. (never say never) Good listening!

My old Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck (wich I still own) and my custom Amp hand-built by Hiroshi Cheana from when I lived in Japan for 6 years, oops, almost forgot, maybe my pair of Stax Lambda pro headphones!

My speakers are Coincident Digital Master w/Troubass subwoofers. A model no longer manufactured by the company. Analogous to Wilson Watt/Puppies or Verity speakers. Sort of pyramidal satellites, which use the subs as stands. Done up all in black, they remind me of Darth Vader. Tall, elegant, powerful. The shape was a bear to produce. Now they make old fashioned rectangular boxes. Smooth, liquid, deep, and detailed. A product that falls on the VERY short list of products that will stand the test of time. One day I will upgrade them with world class internals(instead of just very good). But, it will be a LONG time before they come out of my system.
