Best bang for the buck

Bryston 3B purchased used in 1984 for $500. Still going strong. 

When the Bryston SP1.7 l was using as a 2 channel preamp bit the dust recently l bought an interim unit so I could keep listening. Fosi P4 with 3 rca inputs and remote for $100 is quite good and l’m not convinced l need to spend more on something else.  

I run a set of Linkwitz Orions, which being multi-amplified, call for 8 channels at 60 wpc.  I paid all of $500 for a 12 channel B&K MOSFET amp back in 2008.  Still running it today.  Sounds great.

Very cool @russbutton 

I think prices have increased since 😉

Our retirement home.  We sold our small house in a prime location for so much dough that we were able to purchase double the space on 45 acres for half of the sale proceeds.  Now we have room for several systems featuring JBL Array 1400, Everest DD67000, Apogee Studio Grands, Tannoy Westminsters, Canterburys, Revel Salon 2, Hartsfields, 4350s, M2s, and lots more.  We didn’t have to spend one extra dollar since we were already needing to retire and get back out to the country.  Now I have to start unloading most of it before I drop dead and leave a big mess for my wife to clean up.

In terms of quality audio reproduction in general, a company named "SCHIIT" has entered the market a few years ago, with some incredible high quality, high performing audio components. I would easily recommend their products to any audiophile. And at their price point, you can't go wrong. They also have a trial and return policy.

This is a general recommendation. "SCHIIT AUDIO"
