Re: Acknowledging Excellence

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)
