Wadia owners - what power cords do you suggest?
I've had a 581se and now a 781i. I've had the top of the line VD, Stealth, Dream State, and a few other power cords on them. I've settled on the Silent Source "The Music Reference" power cord (List Price: $1,599.00), as well as the balanced interc... 
Sunfire TGA 7400 versus Krell FPB 600
Well, if it's the one on Audiogon right now, either you've already committed to it or you've lost it.If you lost out on it, for around the same amount of money you can get a Spectron Musician III Mk2. It's a very powerful and fast amp.Chuck 
Dgital cable under 150.00.
Used Stereovox XV2.

upgrades to Spectron Musician III Mk 2
I'm like BostonBean, I have my Spectron with all of the upgrades but have never heard one without. I do know that Simon recommends the Bybee filters as the bigger of the two upgrades. 
Need a new power amp: Herron vs. Classe/Spectron
You will not regret it! 
Need a new power amp: Herron vs. Classe/Spectron
I heartily recommend the Spectron Musician III Mk.2! 
Best of XLR cable?
Silent Source "The Music Reference". 
Harmonic Resolution System HRS Dampening Plates
I use two on the back half of my Wadia, and a Shakti Stone on the front over the reader. Three were too much on my Wadia and overdamped it, the Shakti was needed instead of the third one. You can see them on my system photo.Remember though, I'm us... 
Power amp around $3000 for C-J Classic preamp
I'd suggest a used Spectron Musician III. 
Thinking of changing from Burmester B100's??
May I ask why? The Burmester speakers that I heard with the Heil Motion Tranformer tweeters were some of the best I've heard. Are you just looking for a change, like wanting a different car? 
Amp match for Wadia and Harbeths
Spectron Musician III Mk2 with the V-Caps and Bybee SE Filters. I use it with my Wadia 581se. In my system, the Spectron is a good two steps up from my former Karan and Burmester amps. 
Spectron amp isolation
Concerning RF isolation, if that's the question, I use Silent Source power cords and interconnects. I also have my CD Player and Spectron running through a Topaz 5.0 kVA Ultra Isolation Transformer. 
Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors?
I don't like to think that I can use a cable or outlet to push the sound in a certain direction. I just want to hear what's being played as close to the original as possible.The Porter Ports and Avatar AfterBurner 8 outlet don't seem to affect the... 
Spectron amp isolation
I bought a Spectron amp two months ago. It is by far and away the best I've had, and I've had Krell, Karan and Burmester.Spectron recommends these for support: Spike Sound Will Isolation Feet. They're inexpensive and work well. Look for the review...
