Comparison between Bryston BDA-1/BCD-1&Moon CD-1
I can't comment on the Moon CD-1,but I can on the Bryston's.First I aquired the BCD-1,I used the analog out of the BCD-1 into my prepro(using dacs in the BCD-1).Then I purchased the BP-26 and BDA-1.I still use the analog out of cdp to the 26,butI ... 
Ayre CX-7e vs. Bryston BCD-1
I apologise if I misunderstood,although I read( I never directly compared the two)I thought the CD-7 would have more synergy with the audioresearch pre(at least to my ears)when I auditioned all 3.It all really matters to Hgeifman as he will be the...

Mribob,wait till you connect those amps to the Torus,You will be quite surprised,huge upgrade.Never heard the Spectron's,I do have a pair of 28s and the sound is definately not steely,of course I listen to them everyday,not on 3 month memory.No li... 
LessLoss DFPC Signature
For me,if the cable made my system sound less musical,there's no way I would have purchased 12DFPCs.When that offer came outat a superb price,I ordered one.I swapped out a well known highly regarded cable on my cdp.She definately cleaned up the Mu...

connecting up the pieces.
I checked the back of your 8003,there is input for R+L(2inputs)centre(1 input),R+L surrounds(2)+1 sub input.Sometimes the back of any receiver the lettering is very small and rca inputs very close together.Type in marantz 8003 on your computer and...

Definately wallplugger,I use Torus and they speak for themselves.Conditioner puzzle palace is over.

USPS Priority Mail
USPS all the way(I'm up in canada)fedex,ups are way to GREEDY.I have had a few dealings with them a few years ago as far as their pricing.Do yourself a big favor USPS. 
Single vs Dual Subs
I use to use a single sub(double duty for 2 channel and HT.I purchased another for dedicated 2 channel and other for HT.I then experimented with 2 for 2 channel(WAY BETTER)lays a nice blanket of bottom end for the high pitched instruments.Using on... 
Shunyata ICs and speaker cables anyone?
I agree with Dave b,trust your own ears.It can be quite frustrating and expensive running around inthe cable puzzle palace.
