Tubes/SS Power Amps?
Hi I had a similar need as yours...less heat (upstairs in texas get's hot fast)...but I always owned tube amps...ARC or BAT...A few years ago I bought a pair of Ayre MXRs. Really happy. They get very warm to the touch...but don't really emit heat....

Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it?
I thought it was interesting u compared breakers to fuses. Breakers can't cost that much, and it they sound better why not. Goes to show u that some improvements are still needed... By the way, how much was the breaker u bought? I bet less than th...

Tonearm cables next league above Silver Breeze

Review: Transparent Audio REF XL Speaker cable
Madfloyd, I have a triplanar also. I had mine factory wired with a din (about 4 inches of wire past arm base). So I know it can be done...just don't know how easy/hard for a existing arm...mine was ordered new this way...

Which is better: Transport+DAC or PC system+DAC
Hi Personally, I am into SACD listening. Nearly 100% SACD. Anything else I listen to vinyl. I think SACD is where the dCS shines above all...I'll get to listen to the dCS Vivaldi soon...by all accounts this is a big step up...I have heard the MSB ... 
Which is better: Transport+DAC or PC system+DAC
So you have a excellent system...congratulations, now I can see why you might want more than the dCS Puccini+Uclock (which I used to own).The dCS Scarlatti's, used prices are great, is a killer upgrade for you. Last year I traded in my Puccini/ucl...

Alternatives for Transparent Reference MM2
