Theta Data Basic Mk II
I'm running a data basic to a classe dac1. I to am using the stealth varidig for my connection. The rest of my cabling is mit. I like it alot. I compared it once to a kimber orchid. Actually like the Stealth better.. 
Daisy-chain an amp or not
Most pre-amps are not desighned to handle the load of an amp this way. Those jacks would be best for switching smaller loads like a transport,dac,cd burner, vcr, dvd etc... 
Adding a center channel
Sounds like you will be needing a H/T pre/processor if your system is evolving for home theatre applications. Buy one with a pass through so you can still utilize your stereo pre for stereo music. Don't go cheap on the center speaker either. It to... 
Upgrading CP35 Preamp, Sugestions?
I went from a cap 80 integrated to seperates CA101\CP-50.It was refreshing. Try to get your hands on that cp-60 with the outboard power supply. Never tried one but it sure sounds cool. 
Does EVERY component need break-in?
YES, Leave it on or in stand-by for at least a week before passing judgement. 
New Classe Monoblock CAM-200
I have listened to them. They sounded great! Would love to own a pair. I did not do any side by side comparison with the 201. But my instincts tell me more dynamics and better support from the mono's. I'm currently saving up for another 101. I pla...

MIT 750 Magnum - opinions please
While we are on the subject. How would you guys compare the magnum 750 to the 770 twin? Would you rate the magnum higher? I'm running Theta gear with Thiel speakers. 
Salamander racks - good prices wanted
I'm with JeffL post it in the adds not here. You just ruined my whole day. Caterham made a good point to. There's lots better stuff out there in that price range. Now I'm ticked! Hummmm what to do... What to do...DAMN IT:~(PS- Just funnin ya 
Not happy yet
OK.. The coast is clear. I'm comming in for another pass. This time I'm flying a little lower in an attempt to hit my target. How about adding a small sub-woofer to your system. Not for more bass actually for less more controlled bass. By adding a... 
Best vibration tweaks
Kubla, Are they throwing in a set of steak knives with each purchase? If so write me down for two. 
Is there a trick here? re AES/EBU
Dbwl, It is impossible to connect that cable backwards. It has a male and female end. It will only plug in one way at the transport leaving you only one option at the dac. The INPUT(AES/EBU) and OUTPUT(BALANCED)ports on the dac are opposing. 
Not happy yet
Somebody dis'd me with neg points and I think I know why. Last but not least pull out the CP-35 and up-grade to a cp-60 with external power supply. That's the cherry on the cake. Dinner is served:~)
