Best 5K used or new for Musical A308cr System
Capnizzy,Having the 308CR integrated and the trivista DAC and B&W nautilus 803's they would be my recomendation. Before you discount them the 308 CDP is a little on the bright side and the 803'3 will bring this out. Look at cable and speaker c... 
Pre and Amp suggestions for B&W Nautilus 804?

How many years before MP3 becomes king?
Ok Toonsurge I cant believe LP's have died. I guess that means the new turntable and cartridge I bought 4 months ago was a waste of money. Not to mention the rest of my system. Why download music what can I really do with it. Compression, bit loss...

I have the Tri-Vista in my system and love it. I am using a Theta Digital Data Basic II as a transport. Execelent sound. One last thing the cable can make all the difference in the world. I have tried two different SR cables one was warm and very ... 
Can Computers add noise to home electrical system
The only question I would ask is are the fan motors AC or DC. How old is all the house wiring. Is the house ground intact ok that is more than one. I run a dedicated line with a power conditioner and have no problems.
