If you can afford to buy $10k preamps and $30k amps, you probably aren't working for the State of California, and job security isn't one of your top concerns. If you can (could) afford 10k pre-amps and 30k amps you may have worked in the finance/m...

Interested in a weekly audiophile radio show?
I'll check it out...but was curious about the format approach that one would take. I'm assuming the many of the listeners would possible be college students? So...being that they may be more "budget conscious" than some audiophiles...perhaps focus... 
Suggestions for an integrated amp?
I see you have B&W's...well...another suggestion is the Bryston B-60. I switched from a NAD 7225pe to the Bryston and the difference was significant. I haven't heard your particular NAD but I would assume that it is better than my circa 1988 N... 
Interested in a weekly audiophile radio show?

Organic, Texture, and Palpability - Please Define
