Let me repost, came out jumbled. Adcom 750 CDP (class A rated) $1250 * Musical Fidelity A300 integrated 150w $1500 * PSB Silver-i speakers $1300 * Silver Audio Hyacinth 1m interconnect * Harmonic Tech Pro-11 8ft speaker cable $475 x 2 (bi-wire) * Monster HTS2000 line conditioner $125 * total cost $5250.....to bring under use single run of HT speaker cable, or double run of A.P. Oval 9 cable. This system will top Creek system IMO......

BETTER? Absolutely: Linn Majik II(Audioquest silver jumpers), Linn Genki cd, Linn Tukan with Linn stands filled with lead shot. Lk-400 bi-wire cable Transparent interconect. If large room, add Velodyne VA-86 Sub, "actively" connected with DIY "Belden" cables!!

Musical Fidelity A300 integrated, Arcam Alpha 7SE cd player. Meadowlark Kestrel Hotrods. That's only $3800.00 with $1200.00 left. Enough for Cardas Neutral Reference interconnects,Audioquest Midnight+ biwires and two Harmonic Tech ac cords at $175.00 apiece.
