I live in a one-room old schoolhouse in a hill town in Western Massachusetts.
Sort of an unorthodox approach, and I wouldn't call it source-first (everything is important, no? up to and including your room and your ears and your mind). But I would say the amplification part really sets up a lot of fun with hearing the character of sources and especially analog-signal changes. It's a little goofy but I love it, and I dig that the analog-signal chain is big and bold and on top for the eyes.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Brands I’d love to check out include Linear Tube Audio, First Watt, Shindo, Sugden, Auditorium 23, Audio by Van Alstein, Soundsmith, Koetsu, Miyajima, Dynavector, Tannoy, Omega, Zu, Klipsch, Audio Note UK, Jay's Audio and C.E.C..
But also I very much could be done for now.
