What is the coolest HiFi you ever actually listened to?
The best system I ever heard was at circa mid-1980s Audio One store in West Hollywood.
A pair of Hill Plasmatronic loudspeakers powered by Tim de Parvicini tube mono amplifiers, playing a vinyl jazz recording of Ella Fitzgerald.
With the lights turned down low, the playback system just disappeared, and Ella was RIGHT THERE there in the room with you.
Gave me goose bumps.
