Rarest Brands for Sale on 'Gon

Glide3, regarding your comments

In general I am coming to the conclusion that SS has come a long way...as a tube enthusiast I'm not sure I ever thought I would say that

A few years ago I would have laughed at your comment, today I must agree with you.

I still prefer tubes for my system, but more and more I am hearing things from high performance transistor amps that I respect. Like everything in this hobby, it's component and system dependant.

Music Reference.I have not seen these in a long time,But have heard them and like what I hear.I've been told that they are very reliable tube products as well.

Albert, have you had a chance to hear the latest DNM gear in a system designed for them?
Interesting times!

Music Reference amps are usually available and I think at most times there is at least one up on the site. Just about 3-4 weeks there were three amps, two different models. I've also heard they are reliable but have recently been told by a 30 year audiophile they originally were not.

My vote goes for Air Tight. Don't come up very often but then they are a small outfit and only make pretty expensive stuff. By that I mean their cheapest amp is $7,000.00.

Glide3, No I have not heard the DMN gear, perhaps I should.
