Cary SLP 03
I would get the 05, but I can't stand not having input select on the remote. If Cary comes out with a new pre with a remote that has input select that can perform like the 05 then I would be in for that. 
$2000-$3000 integrated with DAC ???
If you want to save up some more money there is the new ModWright Integrated. You can get it with a built in DAC. I have nor heard it but may be worth looking into. 
Clearwave Symphonia 72R Speakers
thanks for informative post on this speaker. I was kind of curious about these and it looks like other than kits, Clearwave's finished products are fairly new so there is not a lot of info. They use good drivers and the speakers look pretty good too. 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
I hooked mine up today. Put it between a Cary preamp and Cary amp. Very impressed. I did not need a lot of time with it to tell if it was doing something positive or not. I used a sound meter to make sure I was playing the tracks at the roughly th... 
Benefits of brand synergy
I think generally there is a ton of synergy from amps and preamps from the same brand. For sources, not so much. So I think you can have decent success from just doing the preamp/amp from the same brand but going elsewhere for the source. 
Cary SLP 03
I have this pre in combination with the new Cary SA 200.2 power amp. I have not tried the pre with other amps, but in combo with the Cary it is stellar. I was really not all that interested in it as it had luke warm reviews and was even beat up a ... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
Larry, you experienced the QOL? Did you have it in your system or can you elaborate on that a little? thanks

I have the QOL on the way. I will try and post my impressions after a few days. 
The best integrated amplifier
AKg Ca, thanks for chiming in on your experience with Orisis. I agree somewhat with the garbage in garbage out, however I am not a source first guy to the point that it becomes so hugely important. Important yes, but there are so many other variab... 
The best integrated amplifier
I read up on the Rega Oriris. Lots of glowing reviews for sure. However an owner said that you better have warm speakers and it might not do so well with poor recordings. Plus, even though it is a likely a killer sounding unit in the right circums... 
Warm Interconnect....
thanks for the replies guys. Greatly appreciated. 
The best integrated amplifier
Luxman should be on this list. Teajay, have you heard the new Modwright 200? That is one nice looking integrated and whats more is something like that can really simplify ones system. Of course you can get the preamp/Amp in one box but also a USB ... 
Warm Rich Lush Speakers...Recommendations?
WLM La Scala's. Big sounding, lush, organic. You can even tune the bass and treble. Great speakers. 
Looking for warm sounding speakers
Fritz Carbon 7 is a warm sounding speaker, well within your budget too.

do deal with the volume gain why not just an SPL meeter and just make sure you play the track at roughly the same volume? I have an ap. on my Iphone and it works pretty good.
