Nice blog keep up the good work. However I think the line would be around the block, even in this economy, for a 912 at $1K. Better correct that missing zero!!
The rest of the system comprised an EAR 912 preamp ($11,000) and 70Wpc EAR 890 power amp ($7295), with AC regenerated and conditioned by a PS Audio Power Plant Premier but EAR's Dan Meinwald eschewed the English company's Discmaster turntable in favor of a Tim de Paravicini-modified Technics 1500 open-reel recorder to playback a sampler tape from the Tape Project. "You know," mused Dan, "listening to analog tape makes you feel the industry took a wrong turn when it abandoned the format." The sound in his room from one of Keith Johnson's orchestral recordings for Reference Recordings made a strong argument that Dan wasn't wrong!
