Music for "Tough Times"
OP-there are 2 great versions of the song 'Hard Times'.One version is by Eric Clapton & the other Run D.M.C. both are excellent. Happy listening! 
Audio Note CD2.1X
AN is on my short-list to demo as well. If you guys have a local dealer/retailer- mention the company's name.I would like to hear the 4.1/ 4.1x cd player for openers.Red hot now in the Audio press, has my interest peaked.Keep me posted & happy... 
current state of vienna acoustics
Jgatty-VA is still an excellent speaker. 15 years is a long time between auditions- you will need to re-visit for a proper evaluation. Keep us posted and happy listening! 
Has anyone purchased a krell S 550 I Int amplifier
I want one as well, nowever, it is made in china and I will not buy this model. No junk from china for me w/ regards to hi-fi gear. There are much better options here in the USA!Happy Listening. 
BAT REX amps
Anyone else want to mention their local BAT dealer/retailer?Keep me posted & happy listening! 
R. I. P. Jack Bruce

I concur w/ Michaela-America, Love It or Leave It! 
cd player suggestions
Dpm-at around $4K checkout the Parasound CD1. This is the present spinner to beat. Only other player that comes close at over $10K would be the Aesthetix Romulus. Keep me posted and happy listening! 
Like a Rolling Stone - Looking for great live Dylan

Thiel cs 3.7 vs Rockport Atria

Which amps with B&W 800D's... Pass Labs or Classe?
Classe' is a natural, sonic match for those B&W speakers.Especially, seek out the Omega series- it will be worth it.Top it all off w/ Transparent cables/cords and you are set!Happy Listening. 
Surprised by Synergistic Red Fuse on Source for 99
OP-not difficult to understand. We all know that these hi-fi companies (most) will cut every corner and place junk parts in our gear. This is the impetus for better, aftermarket, parts and supplies. Very cool projects going on out there by modders... 
Tube amp modding
Jazz-very cool project. I love CJ gear. You are off to a great start. The Audience power cord is a nice touch- sonic match for CJ gear- IMO. Keep us posted and happy listening!

Preamp Choice oppurtunity
Dan-I have spent much time w/ the CJ Act2 S2- it is an outstanding preamp w/ both tubes & ss.The VTL is on my short-list as soon as I visit a dealer/retailer that stocks this preamp. What other gear, including cables/cords, is in your system?
