I wouldn't mind some Audio Research gear either. Heard it in a dealer "showcase" system, the kind that costs a year's salary and my heart melted. I also want one of those hard drive music systems that Krell (?) or is it Linn makes. You can install it in a room by the computer, upload whatever kind of music in whatever kind of file format that you would like, and run it to the speakers which would be some B&W Natuilus. For a CD player, give me one of those Meridian jobs anyday of the week. Totally future-proof, CD, DVD-A, SACD, and everything in between.
Analog tape deck would be my Sony KA2ES deck. Phono would be that Rockport Sirius III which costs like $75,000. I have about 10 records; I just want to be able to say that my record player costs as much as your Lexus.
Are those the Nagra amps in that picture?
