Connecting sub to Yamaha CA 810
Lots of folks prefer the speaker connection to a sub. I also think you can use the Yamaha's pre out jack. 
PreDAC for Rowland 201 monoblocks
Sorry Ziffle. The Capri is a wonderful pre, I have used one for three years based on Guido's suggestions.

I found Mapleshade maple boards and brass cones to work well with Capri. Any favorite power cords for Capri Guido? 
What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear
Despite my poor eyesight and miserable hand eye coordination, I do feel comfortable attaching a power cord. 
What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear
I'm always hoping the cheaper cable sounds better, I didn't want the after market power cord to improve the sound of my system. But unfortunately that wasn't the case.

on the other hand, not much to lose by running them a few weeks and then listening. Lots of things shouldn't make a difference, but do... 
What is your take on Mapleshade products
Their Ionoclast CD and LP zapper may be the most amazing low cost tweak I have ever used. And Pierre always has time to talk with his customers... 
What is your take on Mapleshade products
I love their stuff. Generally inexpensive, and money back guarantee. I particularly like their maple boards and brass cones. And if you buy used, it holds value for years. 
Integrated Amps that run hot
And the Naim sounds great and it seemed like such a fun idea... 
Manley Stingray question
I have noticed an occasional Stingray for under $1000 and always wondered why so low. By the time I would double check they were always gone.

Thanks Guido, Any idea if the original Capri will be upgradeable to the Series 2? 
What should I be auditioning?
Agree with Aerial 10T, and would also add Aerial 7b and 8. I had the 8 in main system currently have 7b in home theater. All three are outstanding and available at relatively low prices. 
Speaker Cable Advice Needed
It will cost you very little, maybe nothing, to experiment with some low cost cables such as Mapleshade, Clear Day, Speltz and many others. You may find you like the sound of one more than what you have. 
D'Agostino Momentum amp melts down
If so many amps fail this test, and failing it is irrelevant, curious why they do the test.
