Re: Acknowledging Excellence

I question the Sound Labs. Acoustats went loud, so could the Audiostatics. Don't forget the Dayton Wright XG8s.

I won't, especially when driven by really big amps. Acoustats can play loud, given enough power. Audiostatics are clearly better to my ears - I've owned both - yet they can only be played so loud without damaging them. I've been using Sound Labs for a while and don't see that changing.

In the back of my mind I'm thinking the JC80 was a tube unit. I have the old TASs, if I get a chance I'll check.

The JC-80 is solid state. Perhaps you're thinking of the Jadis JP-80?

Bob Fulton started the wire revolution, Noel Lee and Monster Cable came a few years later, Brisson was later still.

You're right about Fulton, I have a couple lengths of Gold. Don't forget about Discwasher Smog Lifter speaker cables, which preceded most of the stuff out there.

A couple others:
Magneplanar Tympani IIIA - triamped with ARC gear including D76's.
Shreve Rabco linear tracking tonearm, mounted on a Technics SP-10 turntable.
