How About that Jazz Fest down in New Orleans....
Just did my second trip to Jazz fest. It's fantastic, my only complaint is that it takes me too long to recover. No where else can you hear Ellis Marsalis, Wynton Marsalis, the Heath brothers, and the Count Basie band with Patty Austin in the same... 
What is a good AC cord for M-L Aerius i's?
I'm currently using MIT II power cords with M-L Aerius. They sound more detailed and open than the stock cords. Got a good deal from HCM. These are the standard cords with no special connectors on either end. 
B W Nautilus 805
Good recordings sound fabulous, poor recordings sound almost unlistenable no matter how good the music is. 
Kinergetics sw800 sub.
Yes, I believe kinergetics is out of business. 
Amp For Kinergetics SW800 s
I am currently using a pair of NAD 214's bridged mono with the Kinergetics SW800 mini's and ML Aerius. They work great and run very cool. 
preamp/amp for ML Aerius i?
I'm currently using a Sonic Frontiers Line 2 with a Conrad Johnson MF2200 amp driving ML Aerius. Sounds very musical but the toes are tapping. Also have Kinergetics SW800 mini subs. 
Good stand-alone phono preamp?
I'm very happy with my Lehmann Black Cube with a Sonic Frontiers Line 2 and ML aerius speakers. Very detailed and Musical. Also very small footprint so it can be tucked away in a corner. 
BAT or Sonic Frontiers w/ Martin Logans?
I'm currently using a Sonic Frontiers Line 2 and Conrad Johnson MF2200 amp with aerius speakers. Yes, the Line 2 is not going to add "tube warmth" but this combo is very neutral and detailed. Especially musical using balanced outputs. 
upgrading from Spica TC60's to ??
I also went from TC-50's to TC-60's using a CJ mf2200 amp and MIT T2 biwires. My next upgrade was a pair of Martin Login Aerius (used). Fantastic upgrade, especially after I replaced the T2 with Kimber TC8. Good luck.
