Why Tube Pre-SS amp over SS Pre- Tube amp?
SET amps are not in and of themselves the last word in SOTA amplification.It's not that simple. 
Running monoblocks in parallel to increase watts??
>>I see nothing wrong with someone asking us our opinion even if we are not all experts<<OK I'll buy that but are you willing to compensate the inquirer for any problems your "opinion" causes? In this particular case the potential for ... 
Need your help finding a pair of speakers.........
>>How about this?....Jtinn says" It is better than the MBL 101e and all the kharmas line<<That's one person and reflects his opinion.So what? 
Can any player challenge Audio Aero Prestige SE ?
Snook,My comments had nothing to do with your posts.Disclosure refers to Audooracle who shamelessly uses these threads as his personal selling playground. In this case he did not mention his status as an AA retailer. Sorry for the confusion. 
Speaker cables from same brand as interconnects?
Mix and match to your hearts content. The silver and copper thing is only an old wives' tale. Gold, silver, copper, palladium, upsadasium (trivia anyone?), carbon, etc. etc. it doesn't matter. There are no rules except what sounds good to you.It's...

Snook2, I think a little understanding is needed here. Some dealers can't see the forest for the trees regarding products in their stable. Such is the case here and there was no disclosure to boot. 
Your top ten CD transport???

"magic" stampers?
As noted there are wide variations is the sonics of any particular record.I find it ludicrous and bordering on criminal charging $200, $300, or even more for a record that has subjectively been designated a "hot stamper".I'm sure there are many in... 
Crystal Cable - Have you heard or compared them?
I tried a pair of the interconnects and speaker cables last year.They are well built. I found both to be neutral, transparent, with their strength in the upper mids. I did not like the high end; it reminded me too much of Valhalla. Both lacked bot...

Speaker cables from same brand as interconnects?
Always use the same interconnects and speaker wire.No that's not right, it's power cords and speaker wire.Hold on, I think it's digital cable and interconnects.No no, it must be power cords, speaker wire, and digital.Unless of course it's digital ...
