The final solution to WAF problems / issues.
I had the things in my house for a couple of days, and they sound way better than not half bad. For the money they are killer (they have the same basic design as Blue Circle's AG gear - AWESOME). They warm up in about 2 minutes flat, drive difficu... 
Reproduction of acoustic instruments with tube amp
Some things to think about:1. Your Plinius is a good amp - you might want to consider putting a tube pe amp in front of it. Both BAT or Blue Circle (BC3) would be good choices.2. I am not familiar with your CD player, but it is also a likely suspe...

WEL -- Wife Equivalent Language
Oh my God guys, IT HAPPENED!!! I caught her listening to a CD red handed! She was actually enjoying it too. Her response:Well....I like that song.... WEL translation: Holy sh** that sounds good, but if I tell YOU that you'll just go out and buy mo... 
WEL -- Wife Equivalent Language
WEL put! (I just couldn't resist the cheap gag). You have hit the nail on the head; though not always completely understanding why I am spending significant sums of cash on audio, my wife is hugely supportive. I consider myself very lucky, and fro... 
WEL -- Wife Equivalent Language
Kthomas - nice use of the "computer obsolete" thing. you are clearly an experienced practitioner of the audio purchase art. My wife is actually very good when it comes to letting me buy stuff, but here are a few of her standard responses and their... 
MOST tubelike solid state amp
Don't know if i'm repeating someone else's post, but maybe you want to try a tube preamp with SS power? Lot's of people think that's THE way to go........ 
Experience with Blue Circle amps
Bigcop:What same problems? Poor service from Blue Circle? How? When? Why? Either provide the details so Tweety can get some useful, VERIFIABLE information from the thread he started, or can the slag! Your first post said you didn't want to talk ab...

Funny how the smell of fish carries far and wide...can you verify the dealer Thorty40? Or are you up to something? I think you have a verrry selective axe to grind here....... 
Levinson No.30,Audiomeca Mephisto, EMC or other
I currently own a Mephisto and I love it! Very musical. When the mood strikes I will no doubt upgrade to a Mephisto II. There are a few of both the I and II model available on Audiogon right now - the I is a steal at $1000! 
Best Used CD Player for 2,500 - 3,000
Lot's of good choices here! BUT...are you talking CD player, or just the transport? There are quite a few of either available, and lots have already been mentioned; if you are looking at a transport, check out Audiomeca's Mephisto II (you could te... 
Experience with Blue Circle amps
I have to agree with Sugarbrie - Gilbert's customer service is second to none. Thorty40: I would be willing to bet that your dealer sold you a pooched amp in the first place. I know literally dozens of Blue Circle customers; all happy campers - ma... 
I'm looking for a good tube preamp under I k.
I second the motion on the Blue Circle BC21. For the money (especially used) it is a darned miracle! 
Experience with Blue Circle amps
Almost anything made by Blue Circle Rocks! I own a BC26 and it is a serious piece of equipment. I have heard the BC8 monoblocks and they are even better - so much so that I will probably wind up with a pair in the not too distant future. Don't kno... 
What speakers for a 10 x10 room?
Thanks for the posts guys! I'll try to incorporate as many of your ideas as possible (guess I'll be busy mooching speakers for a bit) and if anything leaps out as being great, I'll post a follow up.
