Can you recommend cables with good PRAT?
I also agree DNM Reson. I just purchased this for my Naim CD5i-2. Great interconnect IMO for the money. 
amp suggestions for Aerial 7b
Another option to consider is Plinius, excellent soundiong amps in my opinion. I had a pair of Aerial model 8's that my Plinius 9200 integrated drove with ease and sounded great. I think Aerial and Plinius amps is a nice combination, very netural ... 
Using internal processing from Blu ray player
KalThanks for your response. I have it hooked up using the analog Pioneer's output to the NAD external inputs. I did not disconnect the coax digital out from the Pioneer to the NAD digital input. I wll disconnect the coax and try that. Again thank... 
Which power cord more important?
You should try to demo before you buy. I just demoed over a three week period a shunyata diamondback and a ps audio perfect wave ac10 on my Plinius 9200 integrated and my Naim cd5i-2. All i can say is, both these cords did nothing for my system. M... 
Tower Speakers and Room Size
If the Dynaudio's Focus 140's falls into your budget, it might be worth while to check them out. They are detailed, have excellent bass for a small speaker, a non fatiguing top end and nice imaging. I to have a small room 11x15 and these speakers ... 
Recommendations for good jazz radio stations
Thanks for all the recommendations. 
Which headphones & headphone amp combo?
Thanks for the input. 
Is Plinius 9200 bright sounding?
I currently own the 9200 and love it. IMO, excellent amp. I agree with jaybo, dead netural top to bottom. Also, a very nice phono stage. 
Need some cd player advice for redbook only
Naim cd5i-2 is a very nice sounding player. This player was my preference over the 840c. I found the 840c to be a little forward for my taste. Good luck in your search. 
New integrated for Totem
Used Plinius a good match with those speakers 
Giant Killer Speaker Cable For ZU Presence
If you have the opportunity to try DNM Solid Core, I do not think you will be disapponited. A 10 foot pair cost me $220.00. 
Cable & Interconnects for a Plinius 9200
Feaoce:It was a dealer suggestion something new they just brought in. They let me take home the speaker cable to compare to my speaker cable, FMS model ESP-2. The FMS is a older design but still very good sounding. The DNM sounded better, it had b... 
Cable & Interconnects for a Plinius 9200
My suggestion would be to try if you can DNM solid core speaker & IC cables. I own the 9200 and this what i am using. I think it is excellent sounding and a great value. A 10 foot pair of the speaker cable was $220.00. 
New speakers
If you can, you might want to take a listen to the Dynaudio 140's. I have them in a room that is a little bigger yours 11x15 and they sound great. Excellent bass for there size and a sweet top end. 
Naim CD 5X worth 2x the cost of the Naim CD5i-2?
Thanks for the feeback. I do agree with Klaudio,i think CD5i-2 is a underrated player. When i purchased this player, i compared it to the Rega Saturn & Apollo, Cambridge 840c, Unison Research Tube and a one day out of the box Bryston BCD-1, co...
