Harbeth 7ES3 or Devore Fidelity Nines?
price wise, the comparison is more devore 9 or harbeth super- HL5. mike lavorgna wrote a review for 6moons about the base cronus and the devore 8 combination. other than that, i have never seen the combo discussed. but on the harbeth forums, there... 
Speaker for Rogue Cronus Magnum with high WAF
i'm running my rogue cronus magnum with vandersteen 2ce sig II's and they go very well together, but you might consider the NOLA boxer at $1500 for a monitor. you'd have plenty left over for stands. or the silverline prelude at $1500 for a floorst... 
Is good customer service about dead?
so, i think we've determined that customer service is still very much alive? 
Smooth/Musical Bookshelves upto $1500 - $2000
i had totally forgotten about the desktop limitation. since you're already a fan of PSB, you may as well check out those imagine minis before finally deciding. and i think they're $700, which is nice, too. 
Smooth/Musical Bookshelves upto $1500 - $2000
from your description, rana, it sounds like the nola/mcintosh combo had the most emotional impact. you might consider trying the nola's with a less powerful and less expensive integrated tube amp and see if it still provides you with the breathtak... 
Thoughts on Clear Day vs Grover Huffman SC's?

Speltz anti-cables and Vandersteens.......
Thanks to both of you for the responses! Bjesien, are there any cables you would rate A+ at the price point? What cables would you recommend for a several thousand dollar system? Stringreen, I checked your listing. Unfortunately, I need unbalanced... 
Speltz anti-cables and Vandersteens.......
I'm very curious about the Anti-IC's. There are very few reviews. Two questions for Jmbatkh and Stringreen:1. Do these reviews strike you as accurate representations of the cables?2. What other interconnect shave you compared them to?http://www.tn... 
Transport for PS Audio PW DAC
you could probably start that monstrous project for about $200-300, with a USB external cd drive and and an inexpensive NAS drive. it'd certainly keep you busy while you save for the PWT and/or the Mark II upgrade for your PWD. and i suspect it wo... 
Speltz anti-cables and Vandersteens.......
I am very glad to come across this thread. I just picked up a pair of bi-wire Speltz Anti-Cables to use between my Rogue Cronus Magnum and Vandersteen 2ce Sig II's. They're replacing some old AQ Type 4, the only bi wire cable I had around at the t... 
PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2
i'd seen this comparison with the Mk I:http://ravenda.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/a-happy-ending/#respondbut haven't seen a more recent comparison. i'm looking forward to the responses you get. 
Transport for PS Audio PW DAC
i agree with sgr. they're made for each other. any chance you could just suffer for a while using the oppo as a transport until you save enough to get a used PWT? at the $300 or under level, i suspect you'll just be making a sideways move. out of ... 
Advice re: Entry level CD Player
I prefer having matching electronics, so I'd go with the NAD. 
Opting for no CDP -- only to regret it?
i sold my rega apollo, thinking i was done with cds. a few months later i bought a sony xa5400es. it turns out i like having options and use the sony and my squeezeox and laptop for listening. just buy a new cd player and don't sell it. :) 
Is good customer service about dead?
I've had very positive customer service experiences with all of the the following: Vandersteen, Clearaudio, Rogue. and Eastern Electric.Day1, it sounds like you had a couple of negative experiences and a couple of positive ones. Given 50% of the f...
