Just put them on the slow boat, they'll get there. 
How did you contract "Audiophilia"
I'm an Air Force guy too!But way before that, back in the early 70's when I was in high school, my Uncle Joe was a college professor who lived 200 miles north of us. I'd look forward to visiting all of my cousins and being able to go into his stud... 
Does a Good 20 amp cable Make a Difference
First of all, don't say that power cords make a difference. You'll have plenty of Audiogoners telling you that they don't.But, since you're one of us that do believe they help, think about this one thing. You hear what the better power cords do be... 
Is ARC Updating/Discontinuing the DSi200?
Late last year a dealer told me that it was being discontinued. I had one at the time and absolutely loved it.I ended up selling it to go with the Simaudio 600i. It's the best integrated I've ever heard.There's a demo Simaudio 700i that just went ...

I will ask a dumb question on power conditioners
Gary,Maybe I'm wrong, but this is the way I understand it:- Power Regenerator - takes the AC from the wall, converts it to DC and then creates its own AC.- Power Conditioner - takes the AC from the wall and conditions it, for example, filters RFI/...

I went from a Spectron III Mk2 to a Simaudio 600i and still can't get over much better the Simaudio is in every aspect. I had the Spectron for years while auditioning a bunch of other amps that didn't cut the mustard in my system. 
Simaudio Neo 400M vs. Parasound JC-1
If you like the 340i, why don't you go up to the 600i or 700i. They are both dual mono integrated amps.I have the 600i and think it's the best I've ever had. 
Lumin D1, has anyone heard it?
I know that the D1 is a scaled down version of my A1. I haven't heard the D1, so I don't know how close it comes to the A1.I will tell you this, my A1 is so much better than my previous $24k CD player that I'm still shaking my head nine months later.

Has anyone with a Lumin tried the L1 Library?
Apdoc2004,Thanks! It just seemed to me that, without going through what a NAS requires, it would be a whole lot easier and more stable.Chuck

The Moon is an integrated amp. In my system, it beat amps or integrateds from Krell, Karan, Burmester, Pass, BAT, Spectron and Audio Research. I have not had an Ayre in my system.The good thing about an integrated in the savings on a set or interc...
