B&W CM1's vs. ERA 5's
Another way took at what Duane said, is that you can get a great deal on used ERA. I am a big fan of the ERA 4. 
Audio Research CD3mkll Upgrade
Curious as to how not a single CD5 has appeared. 
Upgrading from NAD 320 BEE?
I went from the 320 to an Onkyo A-9555, which I found a real nice upgrade for not much money, then a NAD C162/C272 which I feel are a great bargain for the prices they sometimes go for. Both units also have good phono stages. 
classe twenty five and classe fifteen
I owned both the Twenty Five and the DR25 in the same system, and much preferred the Twenty Five, despite Classe telling me the technical differences were minor. I found it more dynamic, alive, open sounding. I originally explored the Twenty Five,...

Krell HTS 7.1 Remote
Thanks. $50 for a new one would be a very pleasant surprise. 
Classe DR-15 amplifier compared to Classe Dr-9

Pass amps with Tube pre-amps
Excellent results, no problems, with Pass X250 and ARC LS25mkll and also ARC LS15. 
What speaker cables to buy
I've had great success with Discovery Essential with Aerial 8, both with double runs and an Essential jumper. I had previously used MIT T2, which I liked, but found the Discovery a big improvement.
