sonus faber auditor vs 804
Don't forget the Signature 805s. They are better than N805s in both base response and treble. Same price as SF auditor, also check out dynaudio 25 anniversaty 
Philips 1000 vs 963 for 2 channel. Which one ?
Philips SACD 1000(I still own but will be selling) is not that great a CD player. It has a smooth coherent presentation but lacks transparency and speed. It can be a bottleneck for certain systems. The SACD is a step below the sony 999es (i also o... 
Rotel RCD-1070
One of the better players for the price. Presentation is bold and transparent. It stayed with me as the rest of my sys. were upgraded significantly. I didn't miss anything until I eventually got another CDP for 3-4 times the price. A slight lack o... 
Jolida and B&W Nautilus 805
Trelja, your tube knowledge is impressive. Can u shine some light on Jadis Orchestra Reference, Orchestra Signature, DA-50 & Signature?

Jolida and B&W Nautilus 805
Current using Cary Audio SLP308/Audio Research VS110 to drive B&W signature 805s with great sound. I still have nautilus 805s driven by classe 151(150W/ch). If you like tube sound, classe is a ss amp with a tube-like sound. I second Trelja's o... 
HELP - B&W Naut. 805's good music speakers?
The signative 805s are significantly better than the N805s. I currently still own both versions. If u are considering the n805, give the signats a listen. The treble is cleaner and more detailed with better transients. The bass response is only ma... 
Best Integrated amp for under 4k
perhaps the patho logos new at under 4K, let me know your thoughts after audition. 
Rotel RA-1070 amp, any good?
I used to have a 1060 to drive B&W N805. C370 is too warm and laid back IMHO.
