The Bose Wave Radio fills your entire room with sound- it's like having an orchestra in your living room! No lie, I saw it on TV. Looks legit to me.

High End Integrated Choices
I've owned many integrateds and high-end seperates. Presently I'm using a Cayin A-88T and must say the amp is amazing. The stock tubes aren't bad, the thing is built like a tank, renders bass wonderfully, and is very transparent without excessive ... 
Am I a burning out audiophile????
Many of us- thrilled by the musical high induced by our systems- seek to make the experience better. With some things you buy, the synergies click and there's magic. With other components, there's less synergy adding up to less emotional involveme... 
CDP to replace vinyl
I can't believe no one has mentioned the Exemplar 2900 or Exemplar 3910. Replace vinyl? I don't know about that, but my Exemplar beats every other unit I've owned. That includes Sony SCD-1, Meridian, Reolution Audio Opus 21, Ayre, and a few others... 
New Tubes- Need Burn-In?
Zaikesman- All good points. I noticed that the EH KT-88's had improved significantly as I used them. I am hanging onto them for precisely the reasons you mentioned.Thanks for making me think!

Not wasting my time on new Digital
I've come to believe that in this hobby synergy is EVERYTHING. In my experience, I've heard my Exemplar 2900 sound incredible with some gear, then after "upgrading" to more expensive gear, I've been sorely dissapointed.Right now I'm using a Cayin ... 
New Tubes- Need Burn-In?
Well guys, based on the feedback thus far I believe I'll buy a quad of SED "Winged C" Svetlana. Question is- should I try 6550 or KT-88 in the Cayin A-88T.Opinions welcome! 
New Tubes- Need Burn-In?
Well, 2 for Svetlana KT-88's thus far! Would that be the "SED" units? 
No one cares this is the anniversary?
