Which speaker binding posts?
The ones Ghasley are referring to are the CPBP (Cardas Patented Binding Posts). They are on Ayre amps too and are the best binding posts I've ever used. 
I'm Looking For the Best
This is so easy. No system is needed, as nothing will satisfy, so forget about even looking at gear.Have your dentist implant a specially tuned amalgam using 5/9's silver in your lower right molar so you can pick up any musical signal. It doesn't ... 
What bests the Consonance Droplet
I've auditioned both the Droplet and the 17A in home and although they were at different times, I came away with the feeling that the Cayin was the one I would choose. They both are good players but the Cayin just seemed to fit better. Of course, ... 
Infinity Kappa 9's
I bought a new pair of Kappa 8's after deciding between them and the 9's and kept them for about 8 yrs. I used Adcom 565 monoblocks and those will work fine with the 9's. The one area the Kappa's could use a little help is in the mid-range and wit... 
Do I even need or want a preamp?
You didn't say how long you've tried the BAT in your system?What I try to do when deciding on a component that seems close is listen to it for 30 days then take it out of the system. If you miss it, then keep it. 
Questions on Meridian 506.24
I had a 506.24 and 508.20, so maybe close enough to shed some light.I don't know about the chips but if that's a big concern, you can call Meridian USA and ask them. The # is on their website.As for the sound, the 506.24 was a good performer but I... 
Tube preamp $1500-2000 for a thin sounding amp?
BAT VK-3i has RCA jacks in addition to balanced. Most of them that come up for sale have the remote and are well within your price range. 
pick me a cd player please-3k to 4k budget
Consonance Droplet. I had one for an in home audition last year and it's still at the top of my list.Another rec. is the Ayre CX-7e. Heard several in other systems but not in mine. I could go for either one of these. 
Is it Ok for RCA barells l&r touch each other
The one time I had that situation I just stuffed a small piece of 3x5 card between them.I don't know if it made any difference but I slept better because of it. 
How do you have your Droplet cdp hooked up?
I guess we just have different ways of looking at things.You know the old saying: There are more than 2 sides to a story-there are all sides. 
How do you have your Droplet cdp hooked up?
Mrtennis-our listening experiences, however many, do not bring us closer to knowledge regardless of their consistencyHmm, having experience running sound (which I still do) I'd have to say I depend on the many listening experiences I have had, whi... 
How do you have your Droplet cdp hooked up?
Denf-Soundstage was slightly more extended in all directions and although the droplet has a good quality sound, it just sounded smoother through the Atma-sphere.The droplet is definitely worthy of consideration IMO and is on my short list. 
How do you have your Droplet cdp hooked up?
I had one for an in home demo last year and tried it both ways. I preferred it run through the Atma-sphere MP-3. 
i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas
No, you have to wait three years & 10 months before you sell.I have a totally different system now. 
Review: Von Schweikert Audio VR4 Gen III Speaker
I wanted to post some additional comments but sold the spkrs before I got around to it. Now that I've had a few months to dwell on this, I want to post my final thoughts. I had these just a few months shy of 4 years.I wound up with an Atma-sphere ...
