Cary SLP-98 tape out question

Average Price Spent for Speakers
@mapman I really want to give the Ohm Walsh a demo in my system, them and QLN. I am very intrigued by the Walsh.  
Build a wooden crate or use a cardboard box for Amplifier.
@oldhvymec, great advice there, voice of experience. 
New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..!
Huff is a schill and a drama queen. Bloviates till he is bored and moves on to a new flavor.None of his reviews are to be taken to seriously.  
First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k)
Cary, Raven, AH Qualiton 20i, Quicksilver.... especially if $5000.00 is the hard ceiling and you are looking at Rouge, Prima Luna,.You may want to look Hybrid like Pathos Logos or Dual Classic Mk3 in mono.lots of choices.

Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers
Owning 845, 211, 805, 45s EL34s KT88 120 and 300Bs and a mix of Japanese made tube amps purchased from ebay and direct from Sound-gate in Japan.I am not into Artificial Distortion and syrupy mushy or Lush sounding Amplifiers i find that after some... 
The best $99 system upgrade ever!
I've been using hydrogen peroxide in my ears ever since I was a kid, laying on my aunt's lap, as she helped to get rid of my excessive wax. Hmmm

Best dac under $2500 - comparing build quality and technologies
I will stick with Simaudio 280D (modular and upgrade able) and my Border Patrol DAC in the office on my QS system.Mid2 is slick in the 280 and has all the bells and whistles. Can get a good used one for under $3k 
Rogers HG88 Mk II OR Leak Stereo 20
Have you auditioned them?There are lots of great choices in that price range and you may get even more if you consider gently broken in gear.
