Getting great stereo sound from multi channel sys.
Another vote for Option 1- get the best pre-amp that you can afford as it will be the heart of your system! keep us posted and happy listening! 
No audio playing SACD"s
Aoltes-SACD will require additional RCA cables. 1 pair if your are running 2-channel only. If your are running surround sound- 5.1 or 7.1 ...etc., then more sets of RCA cables will be needed. Happy Listening!

Transparent Power Isolator vs RGPC
Very sweet! Saint519.LAMM is on my short-list to demo sometime. That is a very impressive system. I do not know that I would not go w/ TA Opus cables/cords. I have heard an all OPUS system w/ the Sasha + Sophia speakers and they will bring out the... 
which of these 2 subs?
Pig-look no further than REL. Simply put, the best in the market- everything else is junk. Keep us posted and HappyListening!-JA 
Transparent Power Isolator vs RGPC
From a tech standpoint I do not know how it compares to the RGPC gear. I do know that the RGPC products were designed for those of us in the deep South where thunderstorms are dominate. Furthermore, the products were especially designed for the gr...

Transparent Power Isolator vs RGPC
Hello Saint519-I have spent time w/ both. The Richard Gray really shines w/ A/V or HT set-ups. I still use a Sony XBR CRT TV- glorious picture. Considering your investment in TA cables / cords- audition a TA power isolator/conditioner in your syst... 
Need to Downsize: Small Speaker Recommendation
Dkonstruction-check out B&W 805D. Will be a nice match for your CJ pre-amp.Otherwise, Dynaudio C1 or CII signature will be a sonic match for your Cardas cables. Keep us posted. Happy Listening! 
Best Tube Based Options For B&W 803S Speakers
My suggestion;find a solid-state power amp to mate w/ the Conrad Johnson Et-3 SE pre-amp. Keep us posted and happy listening! 
Transparent Cable Upgrade?
Saint519-I have spent much time w/ the Transparent Reference XL and Opus PC. Both are excellent but will not be for everyone nor every budget. These PC are sonic matches for ARC, Bryston and Wilson Audio electronics/speakers.The PC I endorse the m... 
do i change the preamp or the speakers?
Five-the Bryston 3B is a power amp and a fine one at that. If you are looking for a new pre-amp then the Bryston Sp-1, Sp-2 or Sp-3 will make a nice match.Remember, a pre-amp is the heart of any system, select it w/ care. Keep us posted. Happy Lab...
