Stereo Tube Amp Comparisons
Wow... you named quite a few decent tube amps. However, their sonic signatures are all over the board. From my experience, the amps such as the ARC & BAT have a much more "solid state" or analytical sound. While others mentioned, such as the C... 
Best tube amp or mono blocks within 5 k new/used.
Make sure to take a look/listen at the Quicksilver V4's. I have owned the DNA-1 Deluxe, DNA-2 Deluxe, auditioned the Rogue M120's and the Rogue Zeus. The Quicksilver V4's are built like tanks, and you get a LOT for the money, as Mike Sanders at Qu... 
Good CD Player for UR Unico
I have used the Jolida JD-100 with NOS Mullard 12AX7 (CV4004) tubes and an aftermarket powercord... also drop some NOS Mullard 12AU7's (CV4003?) into your Unico... the combination was quite stunning for the price point! 
Please read and help me
If you are looking for a tube preamp I would second the suggestion for the Quicksilver Line stage. Go for the 12AX7 (non-remote) version, as Mike Sanders at Quicksilver will tell you it is the best sounding preamp he has to offer. It uses one 12AX... 
What are the current Electraglide power cables?
I would suggest giving Stewart at Weekend Environments a call (360) 874-1201... he has been an Electraglide dealer for years. I have the Electraglide Ultra Man, which I was told was the latest P/C they made before their current line, in which I be... 
BPT 3.5 Signature and aftermarket ac cords:
I too have the BPT 3.5 Signature. Make sure you give it the full 2 weeks for full break in, although I would say it will be 90% there after 10 days or so.I have been curious of the same question, and I think I remember seeing something from Chris ... 
Quicksilver Interconnect & Speaker Wire
Would be great, alas no local dealer :( 
CES 2004 Best of Show
I was curious if any were able to get the chance to hear the Meadowlark Audio Nighthawks paired with Rogue monoblocks at the show? 
Quicksilver V4 amps
I am not sure of the preamp yet... I am moving from an integrated into seperates again, and wanted to make sure I have the right amp. With that assumed (V4) I would first look at the Quicksilver Tubed Linestage... Any input from V4 owners there as... 
Bass of the Meadowlark Osprey
By the way... anyone esle get any custom woodwork done on their Ospreys? I went with the Pommele Sapele sides with a Mahogany Baffle with Walnut stringer... they look good. Let me know if anyone wants picks... 
Electrocompaniet EMC1 vs. Shanling T200 Lvl 1 Mod
Thank you for all the input. I should have clarified this will primarily be for REDBOOK CD's as I own several hundreds of them and no SACDs. I do not plan on repurchasing old cd's on SACD format either. Just looking for the best redbook cd player ...
