If you could replace one component in your present system with a "dream" piece, regardless of price, that would be synergistic with your other components, what would you choose? Remember, don't pick a piece that you could not use with the rest of your other components, such as a SET amp because your speakers are not efficent enough or a pair of speakers that your present electronics could not drive to an optimum level because of not enough watts/current. My "dream" piece would be to replace my Pass Labs X-350.5 with the Pass Labs X/A-200 mono-block amps. It would "only" cost about another 20 grand, but this thread is a fantasy anyways, right! Hope just for fun you GON members will share your "dream" pieces with the rest of us. Thanks.
I'd probably upgrade my turntable (and cartridge and phono stage) as it's currently my weak link. Not really in dream territory, but a Notts Analog Spacedeck, with an RB600 and a Denon DL103R would probably fit the bill very nicely.
Hi Beemer, thanks for sharing on this thread. On another thread titled, Silver vs. Copper cables, I left you a question regarding your experience with AZ Silver Reference interconnects, if you could go back and take a quick look regarding my inquiry and share your thoughts it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Wow, that's a tough one. I think I'd have to say, after much deliberation, a Nagra PL-P preamplifier. That's a piece of audiophile eye/ear candy I've lusted after for years! And if not that, then a Linn Sondek CD-12. I want them both, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Schröder Reference tonearm. If I could have the other half of the set up it would be the two armed Teres 255-2 with the Schröder Ref, ZYX Fuji, and Hagerman Trumpet phono. But I'll take just the tonearm and buy the rest myself, thank you.
I would love to wake up to a pair of the flagship Soundlabs in my room, maybe some Bat 150 monos and a Clearaudio Master Solution with ... oh wait, we're picking one peice aren't we.
Maybe a pair of Pass Labs mono block room heaters, say the X600.5's, or one of the great turntables like a Walker. Go ahead and pick one then just surprise me and put it in the listening room when I'm out.
Might not "match" the rest of my system but I'd make do...
I'd (nearly) kill for a pair of Wilson-Benesch ACT's. They would go real nice with my system and room decor. Please don't anyone ask this question again--its depressing! Hey Beemer--what model? I've got a 73tii Colorado Orange.
I'd probably go with the Reimyo CDP given all that I've read about it and the mystique around it, plus I like the look of it. But at over $14,000 it will remain a dream.
My everyday dream is the housing market to tumble as hard as it could and I will buy a bigger house to set up my $200K equipments ( MBL 1621&1611, ML2.1&L2, Tenor 300HP, Kharma exquisite ref 1a with diamond tweeter&kharma enigma cables, BPT sig pluse conditioner, Epiphany PCs, HRS rack & amp stands, CEC TL0 MKII, cello pallete preamp, EAD pro9000 gold modified with all black cap DAC Pluto turntable, LP2 dulex phono ).
Mark Levinson 30.5 and 31.5 CD playback system or CEC TL0 or BOTH.I would like them delivered with Beyonce .She needs be wearing a funky pair of pink high heels and a pink cowboy hat.THAT'S IT Nothing else on.I want her to stick around for a fun night of listening!!!!!!!!!!! Do I ask for a lot? PS I don't mind if it takes place on a week night I will take the next day off work. Best George
replace my GNSC statement modified Wadia 861 se with the GNSC statement modified Wadia 270 se and statement modified Wadia 27ix combination clocklinked together with those $4500 AT&T glass cables I read about here can't remember their name oh and elrod statement 2 power cords for them and sitting on critical mass platforms.
I'd say a Blue Circle AG8000 but that's against the rules since my preamp isn't balanced...so let's go with any Blue Circle 200-series hybrid amp. I won't be picky. I bet that would be pretty cool.
Despite great affinity for some of the "dream" pieces mentioned by my Agon peers (Portman, Zeta-Jones, and Anderson models.....not sure the manufacturers on those though....) my dream audio piece would be the complete dCS stack for the digital side....fire wire capable of course.........digital like analogue......
Hmmmm. The current weak link in my system is my CD player, however I cannot think of an appropriate dream one-box player off of the top of my head. Therefore, I will have to go with plan B and say that I wouldnt mind replacing my Bryston with an Accuphase P-7000.
My dream is for the biggest component. My own home so I can build the room myself and then after you all get your dream pieces you can send me your old ones. Doenations can be made at 1 800 HEL PMEE.
I dont even begin to know. I thought I did. Now it seems there isnt any right direction to go. My dream has been replaced since I realized that I havent given music as much as a go as I thought I had.
I would never buy anything more if could afford: Krell FPB 450Mcx monoblocks amplification Dynaudio Master Reference speakers A room big enough for proper placement
I have a VPI MK3,and would change this with the VPI HRX,and purchase the 13k Koetsu Tiger Eye Platinum Gold Phono Cartridge,and also buy the Manley Steelhead to put in front of my CJ PV-5 IS THIS OVERKILL?
avantgarde trio with basshorns or acapella violon to replace my b&w signature 805. if i have more jadis amps, i would go for a pair of b&w nautilus (seashells). i am also drooling over a jadis jps2 and reimyo cdp-777.
