What I especially like about these companies is that they have a passion and care for what they do, produce really great products, and are in general very value priced in a world where audio products can be very pricey...

 

I like how these companies envision a product, persist in making it real and then spread it around the world, touching and enhancing each of our lives on a daily basis... 

 

Decware Audio

Tube amps, pre-amps, high efficiency speakers...

 

The Hornshoppe

Single driver horns, bass augmenter... A smaller footprint speaker...

 

Mapleshade Audio

Solid air dried maple, vibration reducing audio racks, footings... I use and especially like their Samson audio racks...

 

KingRex

Solid state pre-amps, small t-amps.  I highly recommend their small pre-amps, very clean sound... I use them to boost and control the signal coming off a couple of my phono amps.

 

AntiCables

Solid copper speaker wires, very transparent... Other interconnects and speaker wires I use are from Decware and MAC (My Audio Cables -- though I no longer see them listed on the web).
