Berning ZH270, 'just because'. A friend in the US ran one for a while around the turn of the century, and since he's no longer with us & I like the aesthetics, it's on the list.

Besides, David liked the old Syntonic Research albums. That's good enough for me. ;) Incidentally, if anybody reads his comments about foghorns, doesn't know and is daft enough to care, the album in question is Environments 9 -it's the Pacific Ocean 'recording' (certain euphemism on that score).

I second the Berning amplifiers!

Also:

Turntables: Sony PS-X9, Denon DP-100, Pioneer Esoteric P3 & P5. I've heard the Trio L-07 & Yamaha GT2000L (best DD I've heard)

Amplifiers: Dartzeel CH-8550 to see if it really does meld 'valve and solid state' sound- I've heard most others I've been interested in...

Loudspeakers - Wharfedale SBF/3. I've heard and loved Apogee Scintillas & Duettas and various Maganapans. Yamaha NSX-10000

Any pre 60s Western Electric, RCA, etc. or Klang Film, etc. etc. Cinima Sound System...

There are others but thats the highlight list for me...

A pair of those recently came up at one of the Antiques/Bric a brac places we visit up in the Wolds.

They'd sold already, hot dang.
