My Holy Grail is the sound itself not the equipment. . . I've been around long enough to know there is more than one way to skin a cat. . . We have all seen spectacular results from bottom end gear on occasion. Seems like some folks just know instinctively how to get the most out of any gear.
Give me the ability to listen and act on what I hear. . .
I still consider the Paragon the Holy Grail of speakers.
I would want a Sansui BA5000 Holy Grail amp and
Technics SP10 MK III table to complete the trifecta.
I've got mine now.. A7-500s... do I have to start looking for another now? I could always use 6 super cool looking giant sized (wattage wise) monoblocks, tube would be even better
Two years ago I posted my grail was a pair of AR9s. These days my lust list includes a Kenwood 700c (to go with my amp), a pair of EV Interface Ds and some JBL L300s (as if the Interface Ds wouldn't be enough to get me arrested for disturbing the peace).
Right now mine is a JVC/Nivico MCT-105E/5108 tuner to go with the matching preamp I already have. A MCM-105E/5111 power amp would be nice just to complete the set, but the specs on it aren't so hot.
I love this preamp and the 60's look of this equipment!
Holy crap.
Talk about digging up a fossil. Probably one of the first threads I started here, back in the first month of AK.
Gotta think of what my holy grail would be now. Probably not the stuff I listed back then.
I don't want much, just a pair of JBL L-250ti's powered by twin Yamaha M-2's, bi-amped. I don't ask for much. I "only" need about 2 to 3 grand with current market values.:yes:
More like 3-3 1/2 g's, for nice examples, shipped.
