Analogue meters are so much cooler than the blue fluoro-scan ones on the RT-909.Still on my ‘itch to scratch’ list… prefer its compact looks to the RT-909.
Very strong list. Vibing with it.I'm lucky enough (and silly enough) to have tried most of my irrational desires.
Still on the list:
- Conrad Johnson ACT2 preamplifier
- EAR 912 preamplifier
- Krell FBP400cx
- Musical Fidelity AMS50
- Apogee ribbon speakers: Scintilla/Divas/Caliper.
- ATC SCM100A
Looks even more cool on one of these:Dynavector dv 507 tonearm. So frickin cool.
Sonus Faber speakers (nothing fancy - just Concertino's perhaps)
Copland hybrid integrated amp.
Basically just stuff I demo'd years back and liked the sound of.
Sorry perhaps shouldn't take this opportunity - but I have a vintage Tandberg I was soon going to sell if that interests you?Everything tandberg ever made.
I heard Sonus Faber Concertino's with a couple of different amps at a demo many years ago - one was a Copland hybrid integrated and the other was a Krell integrated. Both options sounded great but I now do have a Krell integrated, which is why it wasn't on my list.Those two make a really nice combination .
The insurance on that car would be murder. Personally if I had very deep pockets, my dream sports car would be a GTO Engineering 250 SWB Revival. So much more character, driver engagement and fun than a modern Ferrari or hypercar. And that is a car that you could keep driving into your golden years, as it wouldn't be too intimidating with 1000kg's kerb weight and between 300-350HP (depening on engine spec).https://thevinylfactory.com/news/metaxas-sins-tourbillon-reel-to-reel-tape-machine/

A guy's got to dream.
The Qualio IQ Ultra's will be my next speakers, and will be replacing my Magico S5 Mk2's. After a long, exhaustive search, I concluded they were the best option for my medium size apartment and budget. But even the base-spec IQ is excellent. The Quantum is designed for smaller rooms, but apparently play big.I can join add something to this thread now. I would love to hear Qualio IQ and Quantum speakers, they have me intrigued. Before I do that though it’s time to unbox the Martin Logans and compare them with my current Rega RS10.
