Dave’s Faves – MoFi UltraPhono
MoFi UltraPhono $500 MoFi’s UltraPhono is the first phono preamp out there that deserves to be in an UltraSerious record playing system. There are many respectable phono preamps, but few cut the mustard in terms of MC performance/noise floor in particular. MoFi’s UltraPhono DOES, and for a very reasonable price. I’m recommending you run the UltraPhono and put the lion’s share of…

Bryston BHA-1 Headphone Amp $2695 (2.75h, 17w, 12.25d, black or silver) Bryston’s BHA-1 does for headphones, what huge, Bryston monoblock amps do for speakers. Not only is BHA-1 stone cold quiet, but it makes any headphones start and stop like lightning. The speed and control of BHA-1 is as good as it gets.

Dave’s Faves – Marantz SACD-30n
Marantz SACD-30n $3000 While every format has its strengths and weaknesses, I still have to have a silver disc player. Ideally, that silver disc player would play SACDs as well as Red Book CDs.
