Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank
You can try Zu Audio.They usually sell older models on Ebay and sometimes you can score a good deal.Otherwise, you can look at Audioquest. They have a sizable lineup and though they can get pricey, even the lower models are very good for the money... 
Audio Research Preamps vs. Conrad-Johnson preamps
I think if you provided information about your current system, it would make it easier to provide recommendations.Bob 
Just purchased a pair of Atma Sphere M-60 Mk 3's upgraded to 3.3's
I own both McCormack and Atma equipment and can say that Atma is probably going be the superior amp.-Unless, you send it to SMcAudio for upgrading, even then, I think Atma will still be a finer amp.Regarding preamps, if you can swing it, get a MP-...

Better Subwoofer for 2 channel Music: Focal Utopia Sub or JL Fathom f113
@gillatgh,Though Akg's post might sound like a plug for Vandersteen, the post does show how such a simple way to incorporate a sub not only makes sense, but works.Yes, there are other subs out there, but few are built to last like the Vandersteen'... 
BAT VK -200 vs. McCormack DNA 1 Deluxe?
The nice thing with McCormack is that you can send it to SMc Audio and have it upgraded. Letting know what is in your system can help them customize the upgrade.Bob 
Calling all Vandersteen Fans
Sad to hear this.I do know that speakers take a while to 'break in', but sometimes things don't work out.I hope the Stirling's do the trick.Bob 
Top Notch Desktop System
