Speaker cables for Vandersteen 3A Signature?
Agree on the Goertz The silver is cleaner, more reolving, and more extended. The copper is fuller and warmer, especially from lower midrange down.

Room size? Listening preferences? 
Wadia verses Meridian verses a Digital Server
Berkeley alpha dac with lynx aes card in a pc running media monkey is the best I've heard. Total cost around 6500. 
Weiss Dac2/Minerva?
The Weiss is very good. The Berkeley Alpha is better. Much better, IMHO. 
weiss /Berkeley DAC
I just heard the Berkeley paired with the full recommended PC setup including Lynx sound card. Hi-rez material was out of this world. It also provided by far the best redbook playback I've ever heard. It's really a remarkable achievement. 
Hansen Emperor vs......

VTL TL 5.5 VS Conrad Johnson CT 6 VS Shindo Auri
Take your dealer's advice. Shindo gear is truly special. 
Speaker that has a resonant cabinet like guitar
Shindo Latour does this and it's amazing. 
Seeking your advice on Shindo preamps
I own a full Shindo system. I have owned the Monbrison and now the Vosne Romanee. If I had the cash, I'd buy the Giscours or even the Petrus. I've been through lots of gear, but to my ears the Shindo stuff is the best by far. 
Shindo and synergistic components
I own the Vosne-Romanee. It is balanced. Checking with Don is a great idea. He's an excellent dealer and an absolutely terrfic guy. 
Shindo and synergistic components
Buy the most expensive Shindo pre you can afford. But be warned that the Shindo gear is so good you might very well end up selling your MX-Rs to get Shindo amps, which will probably mean selling your Rockports to get higher sensitivity speakers. T...
