speaker cable length question
In my opinion you will not hear any difference between a 12 ft run and a two ft run. I would be more concerned about the length of the interconnects. Do they have to get longer because of the shorter speaker cables?Chuck 
CJ pre Noise Floor
You will get some tube hiss but should only be audible when you put your ear up to the speakers; say about a foot away. If it is audible from your listening chair, say 10+ feet away, then you probably have a noisey tube. Does it come from one chan... 
Power cable hierarchy for components
The biggest impact I heard was with my CD player. No difference with pre-amp and very little if any on power amp.Chuck 
Why so many "newer" Mac's for sale?
People flip equipment all the time I wouldn't be to concerned about it. If you like MAC equipment and are in the market I would consider it a buying oppurtunity.Chuck 
is 4 meter speaker cable too long?

Looking for a new powerful amp.
Stevecham I am with you I would not classify Krell as bright and thin either. Pass is a good choice as is Krell but with a 95db speaker I am not sure you need all that power. But of course if you change speakers with a more inefficent design then ... 
Help with upgrade
I am not sure how much power the DNA 1 produces but to drive the Thiels appropriately you will need at least 250wpc and even more is recommended. I currently have 3.6's and I am driving them with a CJ premier 350 and I can tell you that they love ...

Another sign SACD is dying
I agree SACD continues to grow with more releases coming out almost daily. And prbably more important in its survival is that it is getting support from the hardware folks with more and more universal players becoming available. I really enjoy SAC... 
Power Amp to Match CJ Premier 17LS
HififanI do not know anything about your speakers efficency and sensitivety so giving any amp recommendations is difficult. If you like tubes and don't mind the maintenance then by all means go with the MV60SE. If that is not enough power then MF ... 
Power Amp to Match CJ Premier 17LS
HififanWhy do you not want to match it with a CJ amp?Chuck 
Looking for a new powerful amp.
I agree with Brianwater the CJ premier 350 is an excellent choice. It is a very detailed and musical amplifier with large amounts of finese and power. There may be more powerful amps available but very few offer the resolution and detail this amp ...
