Best Speaker Cable choices for Solid State system
Get Flexgy6 by River Cable. Mellow with detail and very affordable to boot. 
What is an API upgrade?

Modwright Mods Sony or Denon

Art Audio Carissa vs deHavilland 845 tube amps

Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
The only true shootout is a blind one with different components being switched in and out without the participants knowing what is playing at any particular moment. Once a person knows that which player is playing he is going to be biased. That is... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
