Hello from Chicago. I joined AC a years ago and have been lurker until now. I was recently reading opinions about Lampizator, and decided I should finally say hello after ordering the Baltic 3.
Without going into a ton of detail in this post. Let's just say this audio addiction has caused me to roll through a lot of gear in the past 5 years, including McIntosh, Primaluna, PS Audio, D'Agostino, Benchmark, Denafrips, Mytek, Lumin, MiniDSP, Torus, Furman, Kef, Focal, and Wilson. Those are the ones that come to mind, I'm sure I missed some.
