>From my experience MOST hifi gear is seriously flawed in one way or another<Or at least somewhat flawed. To this day I haven't found a piece of gear that I would refer to as totally neutral. I've found some that are pretty close, though; however, the money investment is just too high for me. I really can't do $8000 preamps.
Follow Ups:
"I really can't do $8000 preamps."Well I have owned one (it was very good but not perfect by any means...still it let a lot of information through) and tested many and none are perfect (even the Kondo). STill, they kick the crap out of even the usual 4 and 5k ones (much to my dismay).
At the moment the closest I have found are some estat and planar speakers (not maggies though) and a couple of tube/hybrid amps.
I heard one and it was certainly what I would buy if I could afford it. But life and audio are full of compromises. It would be nice if I could accept the high level of sonic compromises that many PHP posters apparently do and be totally satisfied as they seem to be.
Try the VacuumState SVP-1. It is one of the only ones I know below 4K that can really deliver ALL the goods.
