Budget tuner?

Interconnects for Musical Fidelity
Try the rs cables silver spirit loudspeaker cables and their interconnects. They are bit on the lean side with a bit more extensive treble than bass, but very quick sound. The MF trivista gear tend to have bloomy and slow bass, and I guess it is a... 
Power cord to add ease and tame treble.
Try harmonix studio master. 
Zingali and Atma-Sphere. Heaven or Hell?
I have heard Zingali overture 1s in a showroom, driven by dcs electronics and pathos amplifier. One of the nicest sounding system in my memory. I am sure it would work well. 
VIVA INT amp
I have heard it with the monitor loudspeaker of the JMLab Utopia Be, vandenHul cabling. It was a nice setup. But I would not buy without audition. YOu already have a nice system, at this level it is questionable whether it would really be an upgra... 
favorite SOPRANO?
Kiri Te Kanawa is missing, Andrea Rost among contemporary spranos also as beatuful voice. Cecilia Bartoli is mezzo-soprano, but still has a beautiful voice. Her vivaldi album is fantastic.

Wilson Benesch Curves
I have heard the curve with state of art gryphon electronics and HMS cabling. Wonderful, layered, transparent, dynamic, but a bit warmish sound. Not that one, which was described ny the Hifi Choice with Audionet partnerering (cool and transparent)... 
MF A3 CD player when used with MF A3/24 DAC
Dont waste money. If you are unhappy with the MF A3, buy an another one, which is faster, more transparent and more dynamic. 
Best speaker cables for Thiel CS2.4 speakers
A friend of mine using harmonich tehchnology magic tweeter speaker cable. Wonderful sound. 
Matching Speakers to an Arcam A75 Plus
Hi, whenever I hear arcams, I have the feel that they have too extended treble, which in wrong pairing could be very annoying. The BW would be even worse in this sense. But unfortunately, triangle also tend to 'contructed' to have extended treble ...
