Top ten tube amps

I'm thinking on those ML3 also

I'm all for very high-end systems and have proven capable of spending a lot to get that last 3%, but spending $120k for a piece of gear is just idiotic -- think of the good that a mere half of that money could be put to use for. Seriously. Vladimir builds great stuff and has integrity, but he is tempting our worst tendencies as Americans toward mindless excess.

QUAD mkII - What else??

"spending $120k for a piece of gear is just idiotic -- think of the good that a mere half of that money could be put to use for."

Yes, for less than half, you could get a new Corvette.

It is all about choices and what rocks our boat and to what extent you want to carry the zeal of the hobby. Frankly, I hope Vladimir hits a home run with this one and can retire. He has worked by himself alone in his lab for years to bring the ML 3 to market.
