Speltz anti-cables and Vandersteens.......
Rate a B- in my book. B+ at the price point.In the realm of the several thousand dollar system I would start to look more seriously at conditioning and better cables. 
Ayre QB-9 USB DAC
QB-9 has better timbre than the tranquility. Also the clarity is more refined and is ultimately more relaxed but not in loss of resolution way. 
REL subwoofer hum
Had similar problem and was convinced it was some high priced item but it ended up being my DVR.My Stadium III with speakon is silent. 
B&W PM1 with JL sub or 805D?
Seems like it depends on the type of music you listen to. Is it Pink Floyd or small scale acoustic? Might make a difference.I find it tough to find a good speaker with an awesome midrange and deep bass for under 10k used. The smaller speaker with ...

Hello...is there anybody out there? 3. 
is ayre qb-9 dac better than cx7e mp?
I have the latest qb-9 and love it. It is better IMO than the CX7emp and the CX5emp that I owned and easier to manage your collection.I haven't had much luck with hi-rez downloads, at least from HD Tracks. Most were missing major information and a... 
A Manufacturer that pays return shipping
Agree that the dealer take care of the shipping if you purchased them at full price, not at 40 to 70 percent of retail, because that is not a reasonable arrangement.Full retail equals dealer or manufacturer. Deep discount and you are on your own. 
Amp transformer buzz/hum from DC on AC line?
Are you sure it's not related to a dvr motor running? Not sure if you have a dvr but they can cause a racket if not isolated. 
LEBEN CS600 OR CS300X
I just read through all of this and maybe it's me, but I don't understand what kind of sound, or changes in sound, you are looking for. I am a prior Devore Super 8 and Nine owner. I understand the strengths and opportunities of the line but I don'... 
Transparent or Nordost?
I'm more excited about the new power cords with proprietary technology than any other cables. I have a few Frey pc's on order and can say I agree with Xti so far on the interconnects and speaker cables.Not better but different. 
What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates?
Earwig,I suggest starting a new post and you will get more responses. Nice looking system. The Ascendo seems to need power, though I didn't see any impedance spec's on website. 
Transparent or Nordost?
The Red Dawn LS does not lack bass and I would say comes close to the Frey. I have a combination of TYR and Frey and have been using some Red Dawn LS and think they are great. The old RD was thin. 
Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables
I climbed the SR ladder for a while with a mix of acoustic reference and precision reference. Also the power system with some precision and hologram a and d cables with the powercell 10 se mkII. Most I owned and some was on loan including the tuni... 
Synergistic Research - NEW Element Cables
Someone is going to get quantum tunneled! I've heard grand demonstrations of SR cables and have been very impressed. I just couldn't deal with my room looking like the worlds largest jungle gym for hamsters.
