[LP Hovercraft]

1.)  Jimi Hendrix Experience:  Electric Ladyland
2.)  Pink Floyd:  Soundtrack to "Live at Pompeii"-dig Gilmour's fuzztone on Echoes
3.)  Mothers of Invention:  We're only in it for the Money
4.)  Muddy Waters:  Electric Mud  
5.)  Miles Davis/bill laswell:  Panthalassa
6.)  The Who:  Tommy
7.)  Herbie Han%^&* Sextet:  Sextant
8.)  New Ancient Astronauts:  Children of the Vortex
9.)  Led Zeppelin:  Presence
10.)  Soundtrack to 2001: A Space Oddessy   Gyorgi Ligeti's stuff on that is terrifying.  Strauss's "Blue Danube" is gorgeous.  

Hate to open up a can of worms, but what kind of stereo hi-fi unit would you wish magically washed up on shore (including a safe self perpetuating power supply to ensure-you dont have to detail that, I wouldn't even know)  Tube (KT88? 6L6? EL34? 6BM8?)  or solid state (Too many part numbers to reference)? (Are any of you making DIY preamp designs for home stereo-I'd love to hear opinions)  Speakers?  Crossover?  Control?

I'm planning to build a solid state hifi-preamp at the moment. The whole thing is from ESP (great stuff there!).
Finally it will look like this: RIAA-network with switchable Rumblefilter at its end - then the actual preamp useing OPA2134's (the RIAA uses them, too) and of course the transformer will not be inside of the chassis :wink: .

Niftayyy!  Are there schematics you'd like to share?
