Is a Power Amp the Answer?
Try different speakers with the Rotel! 
Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3
I have Rotel love and NAD indifference.+1 on the Prima Luna; but there is a big diff in price, especially when you add a phono stage, which the RC-1570 has. (MM only)Comparing Krell, Prima Luna Dialog, and some of the others mentioned to Rotel is ... 
Need recommendation for a CD player
@ericruff I prefer the sound of NAD players to Marantz in the same price range; but that's just me. I think you meant Marantz SA8005; not 8500. NAD does not have anything at that price; but the C 568 at $700 puts all of your investment into a dedi... 
Integrated Amplifier for Monitor Audio Silver S2 Speakers
Have you looked at the Belles Aria yet? It's $1,900 and blows a Rogue Magnum Cronos away.  
Last CD player?
I was significantly outbid for the Esoteric; but I did get an Oppo BDP-95 for a little over half what they seemed to be going for and about $100 less than the lowest I have seen. I can't wait until it arrives! 
Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable?

Integrated Amplifier for Monitor Audio Silver S2 Speakers
The Belles Aria is well within or below your price point. You could sell the S2s and use the proceeds and change to buy some towers.If you like the S2s a lot and want to get an integrated that doesn't cost more than the speakers, I've found Rotel ... 
Interconnect cables for turntable
This guy did a nice job for me. I asked for 24g conductor (thinner wire is better for tiny phono signals I’m told and it lowered the cost) DIN plug, custom length, etc. He did it all. Nice improvement on an Alexandria with a Denon DL-301. They don... 
Looking for SACD player............
yyzsantabarbarsI can't seem to find a way to message you in AG. Is there some other way to contact you? 
Looking for SACD player............
Has anyone heard of a player using the new ESS DAC chip, the ES9028PRO?I bet when players with it start hitting the market (Oppo BDP-205?) the asking price of used players will drop considerably.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Reubent!I didn’t think Romeo Void was issued on LP. Love warm in your coat, but I only have the CD.Also, I have a few C. Simon SACDs on my wish list. Maybe I’ll save some money and search out some vinyl. The problem is that my 2 CS LPs are pretty ... 
Cartridge recommendations
@sunnyjim Please don't hold the sanctimonious, self-promoting preachings of some put you off of this fine forum. I certainly interpreted your post as a request for information. @tablejockey  & @oleschool,  I too looked at the ART-9 before I bo...
