KCI Pure Gold and the benefits
Agreed! 
i want that "sony" sound
Following on Rlwainwright's suggestion, if you must pay more for it to sound better you could spend $3500 on a Lexicon unit. ;-)(Tongue in cheek; for reference see: http://gizmodo.com/5450893/lexicon-charges-3500-for-a-repackaged-500-oppo-blu+ray-...

I've never heard it, but have read amazing things about the Sony SCD-1 over the years. I would think it to be exactly what you're looking for, though about $100-$200 over your budget. 
Ridge Street Audio Sason Owners
I've had mine for 3 years now, and they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. 
Want to Blow Up My Stereo
Howdy, guys. Here's the update. I did as Tvad suggested, and connected the left preamp output to the right amp input and vice versa. The sound shifted left of center. Replaced the cables to proper connection, and the image shifted right of center....

Any Zorn fans?

Slim on the wall speakers

What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009?
I'm with 76doublebass. The best room I heard - and by a stunningly wide margin - was the Win Analog room. Not sure if it's coincidence or not, but it was also the only room I entered with the speakers more than a quarter of the way in to the room....

KCI Pure Gold and the benefits
Guys,With 450 hours on my Silkworm+ cables, I felt it was time to evaluate them and get a review out. The review should be available in a few hours if it isn't already. I hope it is thorough enough to be truly insightful to those interested.Howard
