How Important is power conditioning if you have
taters-all will depend upon the cleanilest of your power grid.Consider your power very clean if your dedicated lines are performing at their best. IMO, based on your statements, you would not need any further power conditioning.Happy Listening! 
Any Alice Cooper fans?
Big fan of AC. Thanks! for sharing. 
CD player with Tube Output or Music Server
Concur w/ above. Your local dealer/retailer is trying to push those music servers for a profit.At the present time, there is no music server or equivalent that trumps a dedicated cd player. If you want a cd player, then purchase a cd player- do no...

Right On! Dtc,I am not certain about the customer capture segment for the SCS4T. Hopefully, the new CEO will stick to the CS 1.7, 2.7 and 3.7 loudspeaker lines!Happy Listening.

The way I view a B&M operation, it is only as good as the owner wanting to succeed.Happy Listening! 
Quantum QRT QX4
Thanks! for sharing. I recently heard one of these units in a Naim, PCM & Nordost Blue Heaven set-up. The sound was very good, very real on acoustic music. I do not know how much the Qx4 played a part (if any) during the demo session.

All,according to reports, the new CS 1.7 does in fact replace the 1.6 model. Price is suggested at $5495.Any of you guys own the 1.6?
