I'd think the Audio Research SP3 is a better candidate, it was
holographic, it just lacked bandwidth. Early cj stuff (pv1, pv2)
which also predated the SP10 was very holographic. BTW, it's
William Zane Johnson.I question the Sound Labs. Acoustats went loud, so could the
Audiostatics. Don't forget the Dayton Wright XG8s.Somebody else touched on Dynavector - I think Denon, Supex, and
Ortofon predate the Dynavectors.In the back of my mind I'm thinking the JC80 was a tube unit. I
have the old TASs, if I get a chance I'll check.VMPS? Ummm, Start with Infinity (Servostatics to IRS), take a left
at Fulton, then maybe go to VMPS.Bob Fulton started the wire revolution, Noel Lee and Monster Cable
came a few years later, Brisson was later still.PS Audio - The importance of clean power was determined long before Paul created the P300; Auntie Enid as well as others wrote about
power problems years before. Various methods were tried before
the Power Station, can you say Tice?George Cardas - Nope, Tice had power cords before Cardas.
Other Names you might want to add
Jim Bongiorno - The first to develop high power amplification, from
Marantz to GAS to Sumo, he was the king of power.conrad johnson - The first to create a high power, stable tube amp
(premier 1)John Dahlquist - The first speaker to consider alignment of the
drivers (DQ10)
