Looking to upgrade my setup.
Love the NAD integrated's. Good choice. 
Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good?
The only good budget amps are used amps that weren't budget when they were new. If you want new you're looking at $1700 to get something that won't catch fire while you're at work. You'd be best off at your local salon doing A/B comparisons with t... 
Sadurni Acoustics - anyone hear these?
$24,000 but they're selling them on Agon for $18,700 obo right now. 
Sadurni Acoustics - anyone hear these?
They recommend a 1.5 watt amplifier but their favorite puts out 3.5 watts. I would love to hear those. What a work of art as well. My eyes almost blew out of my skull when I had my first look. 
Some girls Deluxe
How many unreleased songs are on it? I heard one of them on NPR last week and it was actually very good. 
Recordings with BASS
Morphine 'Cure for Pain' 
The Piano - Herbie Hancock
I placed an order on Amazon for 'The Piano' on compact disc ($24) and about 3 weeks later I got an e-mail stating that the order has been cancelled because the seller was out of stock. This past Saturday my wife and I decided to pump a little mone... 
Audiolab 8200 CDQ CD Player
I own the CDQ. What would you like to know? I don't use mine as a pre-amp, but as a CDP and I stream 24 bit FLAC with my laptop through the USB. It has 6 or 7 filters, which is way overkill IMO. I finally settleed on one filter because I found mys... 
Best Stand for Harbeth 7ES-3 Compact
Chashas1 - you're absolutely correct about Herbie's Big Fat Dots under the speakers. I found that out for myself. My wifes jaw hit the floor when I removed the Herbie's. I think they're better suited for use underneath a rack. I love the tenderfee... 
Best Stand for Harbeth 7ES-3 Compact
I agree with Chasas1. I think the build quality of the Skylan's is great. I've owned metal stands before and I don't like them.I've heard of some build quality issues with the Foundations but not many. 
Budget Speakers for a small living room
Epos Epic 2. 
Best Tube/SS Amps for Harbeth 7ES-3
For tube - Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum sounds amazing with the C7's and it's a very popular combo for hifi shops. This match was at the Montreal show this year and was well received. It was enough to sway me into buying the C7's a few months ago. I'... 
Best Stand for Harbeth 7ES-3 Compact
I own the Skylan stands for my C7ES-3's. I believe they're 20 inches. I researched stands for quite awhile on the HUG. They're great stands and look very nice. Noel from Skylan suggests filling them with kitty litter, which I did, and the speakers...
