Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?


OK we all know what a merry-go-round audio can be. For those of us who are incessant upgraders, what components have you found that either have stopped or seriously curtailed your search for better?

For me its my Audio Tekne Cables and my vintage Classe DR3 amps (25 wpc high current class A design designed by Dave Reisch in the early days of the company). My Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3s would probably fall into this category, but I would probably buy the next statement models that Roy Johnson builds sight unheard.

Definitely the Berning zh-270. I certainly wouldn't mind trading for the Berning Quatrature or maybe a future dream offering from David, a 50 watt SET zero feedback Class A with zotl circuitry. Could it GET better than that, a wide bandwidth SET triode with real bass! I have heard this is not a dream, a prototype does exist.
Speaker wise, for me, it was Selah Audio speakers the Tempesta and Esatto, very well designed and sounding speakers.
