Best Jazz pianist
I can't believe that no one mentioned Chic Corea! 
Sub wolfer advice
Dancer,I'd take Krell's advice and run rca out of your pre-amp to your sub. I have my rig set with the same signal routing and it works fine. Simple is better.Good luck! 
Any Caviar Fans Here?

Critical Listening Training Document
In my case, as in Alonski's (thanks for the great thread), being a musician has greatly aided my critical listening as an audiophile. Though currently not a pro, I started real young (in high school and college) by helping support myself by playin... 
Just Turned 50...
Just turned 54 myself. I've always had sensitive hearing: can hear trains in the distance long before anyone else can. I can hear the squirrels jaw chomping on acorns at the top of a 60 foot oak. Although I am sure if I had a hearing test 10 years... 
What started you on your audiophile journey .
My journey started when I was about 5 years old; sitting on the floor in front of an old Magnovox mono record player console with a single 6 inch speaker as I was banging away on an old tattered paperback book with a pair of drumsticks while a Bea... 
Is there an average life span for a preamp?
Joe, I've had the same pre-amp for going on 13 years. I have not had one bit of a problem. I can't believe how good that little thing sounds. Unlike you, however, I'm not really fond of the "passive" mode. But I'm glad that you like it. I can't be... 
Solid State CD Player under $2000
I agree with Bar81. Check out the Oppo BDP-95. It's resolution, staging and presence are miles above anything in it's price range. Plus, it's a universal player that gives you tons of options. I bought it primarily as a two-channel audio playback ... 
Do you remember your first cd?
"Atavachron" by Alan Holdsworth. I think it was his first venture into the guitar synthesizer. It was released in 1986. The CD sounded great then, and and sounds fine on my current rig. That guy can tear up a guitar; then AND now. 
Still great after all these years-Dunlavy SC IVs
Jdurrett, I'll bet your system sounds great. Hold on to those SC 4's. I have had a pair of SC 3's for 12 years. And although my amps, pre-amps, turntable and digital have all been upgraded since then, I'd never get rid of the Dunlavys. I can imagi... 
What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE???
I have to add to the Dunlavy fan club. I bought a pair of SC 3's in 1998. And I still have them. Everything else has changed down the line, but not my treasured Dunlavys. They just sound fantastic: clear, clean, precise, quick, revealing; those sp... 
Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?
Jfondell,Iraq? My goodness. That's a big scene change from your sweet spot in front of your new D1's. Get home safe. And good luck with your new speakers. Best Regards! 
If upgrades were no longer possible would you be
I haven't changed a thing in years, and don't plan to. I'm happy.
