Whats on your turntable tonight?
Tori Amos / American Doll Posse 
@inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are
Lowther Fideleo's with sub. Why: No crossover (except for the sub), high efficiency (sounds great with high quality class a low powered mono amps), transparent, three dimensional, image well with wide deep sound stage.

Grateful Dead / One From The Vault 
Most transparent power amp
I've been using a pair of Valvet solid state single ended mono blocks for a few months now & am finding them very transparent & musical. My history has been tubes of various designs for the last 25 years so this was a bit of a departure. I... 
What is your favorite budget audio component?
I'll second the ZDac from Parasound. It really shouldn't be as good as it is :-). Also if you're a DIY'er, you can make some crazy good power cables using Oyaide Tunami cable.

Current recording engineers - what cables used?
Shadorne,In my experience, Blue Jean is incorrect that a digital cable doesn't make any sonic difference as long as it works. I believe it may be in their best interest to make a statement such as that but I've achieved a real sonic improvement wh... 
Need Advice on a Low End CD Player Giant Killer
real music777,Habit. I've got around 600 redbooks. I'm continuing to buy them because they are so cheap right now. Kind of like how vinyl was 25 years ago. If I was just starting out, the server would probably be the direction I'd go though.  
Need Advice on a Low End CD Player Giant Killer
Parasound Zdac sounds way better than it should for the price. I've used it with an old pioneer elite player & it sounded good. I suspect it would sound even better with a new cambridge transport. They run $450 through audio adviser. You shoul...
