New WIREWORLD Eclipse 8 series FULL REVIEW
I'm currently running in WW Eclipse 8 rca's between my Marantz 30n sacd and Musical Fidelity Ms8 preamp and after about 200hrs I ordered the XLR's to go between the preamp and Halo JC5, the xlr's arrived yesterday and are currently running in. The... 
Torus vs AudioQuest Niagara
Nice write up! I'm looking to upgrade my power conditioner and the TOT series seems to be what I'm looking for as I want the least coloration of sound possible. I've long heard of Torus and may be time to get one in for an audition.  
Marantz SA-KI Ruby vs Denon DCS-A110 Anniversary Edition

Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else?
The Jc5 will take some time to settle, I hold by my advice . Prepare yourself! When it starts filling in and going beyond borders previously limited don't say I didn't tell you so.  
Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else?
Congrats on the Jc5 @mrteeves  Yes the grain will go away all I can say is prepare yourself. @2psyop  Nice recommendation on the Musical Fidelity, I'm using the Musical Fidelity Ms8 preamp with my Jc5 and oh my!  
A warm natural sounding preamp
Also consider the Musical Fidelity Ms8 preamp I'm seriously enjoying mine and it has the feature set you listed.  
Results with Shunyata Venom Defender
I'm glad this topic came up as I tried the Defender on the new setup I'm running and must eat crow! Sounds good ! So good it's staying there as no ill effects are noticed and bass digs deeper with better articulation and all the other benefits it ...
