   Subwoofer- Miracle Audio Subwoofer system, JL Fathom
  Most influential device- BSG QOL Signal Completion Stage, Duelund Cast resistors, caps and inductors, PIAudio Uberbuss
 for me.
     The one product that just took me away is the BSG QOL. We were so enamored by its outcome we became authorized dealers. It is truely a game changer. 
   The Duelund products are by far the most impressive parts of their kind. In every application tried the results were staggering. Even the less expensive Alexandra series are just right. They now reside in my speakers, Amps and Preamp.

(1) Well Tempered Labs Turntables (2) Dynavector Cartridges (3) Shindo Labs Amps (4) Acoustic Plan PhonoMaster [ Phono-Stage ] (5) DeVore Fidelity Speakers. But in all honesty I'd have named at least 4 other lines/brands. Oh I might as well add my favorite tube company (6) Tungsram and cables (7) Auditorium 23/Crimson Audio RM Music-Link. That's it for me. Peace,Oscar

Kuzma for engineering brilliance
Melody for shattering price/performance barriers for affordable amplification
Zu audio for their speakers, philosophies and customer relations
Redgum audio for challenging my prejudices against solid state (I've now owned 3 of their amps)
Wywire for making me think of cables as components rather then after thoughts.
