I'm a big fan of CJ tubed equipment, Focal speakers, Esoteric digital gear Siltech cables and Stillpoints resonance control products. Over the years, I've been very pleased with the reliability and sonic signature of each company's equipment and, particularly, of their synergy when used together.
Best High End Audio Manufacturer???
Wow, what a loaded question!! Nevertheless... which company has earned the right to be called number one, king-of-the-hill, top dog, etc. Is this even a fair question? Probably not. Is this your chance to make your objective/subjective voice heard? Yes indeed. So if you had to boil it down to ONE HIGH END COMPANY that more than any other represents the paramount position, THE EPITOME OF THIS HOBBY, this is your time to cast your vote.
