Best available Tube Dac around 3k
the audio logic 2400 lets you forget you are listening to the digital medium,enough said 
Omega Mikro powercord users help:
i've heard that 75% of equipment sounds better on the lcx red, that's the one i kept. It was easy to tell with most things i tried it on ,except my audio logic dac. Eventually the red worked best on my levinson transport,and,in my cd system,i alwa... 
Favourite Guitar CDs
lawrence juber,"the collection" is a must have. he was the lead guitarist in wings. this is a much more laid back style of acoustic guitar,very well recorded.it opens up with hendrix's "little wing",one of my favorites. 
What was your first system, & did you like it?
stacked advents,mac 275 amp, jvc equilizer pre,thorens 125 turntable,thought i died & went to heaven 
How would you rate ???

Short list of dacs for CEC TL-2X
one more vote for the audio logic 2400.i have owned the cec TL2 & still own the audio logic, they make a very relaxed,almost analog sound together 
Got Vienna Acoustics Mahler speakers - what amp?
the best iv'e ever heard the mahlers sound was with an ayre v3x amplifier,it really had a firm control of those 4 woofers,yet was very sweet in the mids & top end 
Cd Recorders?
it actually makes things a little harder,because you can't copy fromn 1 cd to the next,you have to record it on the hardrive first,but the quality of recordings( i own the alesis 9600 ) is very high quality. 
Preamp Deal of the Century

The Best kept Secret in Speaker Cables please?
i second the xindak ( mine are on order ) i heard the FS1 & placed my order the same day. very smooth,yet lots of detail & not that bad on the pocketbook 
Speaker cable recommendation ?
check out the new xindak copper weave speaker cable,it's just getting to the U.S. market now,it is incredible.both pureaudio & father & son audio are importing it.

xrcd 24 - someone did digital right
i think sony corporation should hire socrates & tire guy. xrcd-sacd would be the cats meow. here's my twisted logic,i must have 60 cd's i won't listen to,just because of the inferior sound. if i could have 30 great sounding cd's for the same a... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
in my all tube system,i found the mullard gz 33,tung sol 5881,tung sol blacked out ,round plate 6sn7's,rca 6fq5a,and we417a to be the best combination.tube rolling with this pre is just amazing,it can transform a very good preamp into a great prea...
