Is HDtracks really selling you Hi-Rez music?
i've had this happen a couple of times but only recently. first couple of years at HDT were great. ran up some large tabs and everything purchased sounded much better then the redbook version. maybe i was lucky with my selections but every downloa... 
Using the PerfectWave DAC MK II
agree with Hifial. i've wanted to ditch my pwt since installing the bridge, but can't bring myself to doing so. system sounds great streaming but when it's time for critical listening...i still reach for the shiny disc's. the pwt/pwd-mk2 combo via... 
Using the PerfectWave DAC MK II
the mk1 sounded great when released in 2009....the mk2 sounds even better. am yet to hear any digital front end (anywhere near this price point) that sounds better then the pwt/pwd/bridge.have not compared it to any of the newer high end dacs but ...

Took my Levinson amp in for repair
Abruce: i completely understand *and* agree with your position. no doubt i'd feel the same. my comments were more directed at advise to jump into the judicial system and get a lawyer (unless u have a friend/relative who will help for free). also a... 
Took my Levinson amp in for repair
you take your car into a repair facilty with a slight "engine noise". the mechanic takes it for a test drive to hear and possibly diagnose the noise. the engine throws a rod or "blows up" in some manner.....what happens next??i'm just asking? thin... 
What is the best transport?
Canb: spot on buddy...we're miles away from plug & play. have spent countless hours to get my pc set-up where it is today and even then...i run into the dreaded "glitch" once in a while. three years of tweaking, head scratching, help desk call... 
What is the best transport?
Changeout: you're gonna have a tuff time finding a better sounding transport at anywhere near the price of the pwt. thought so 3 years ago when i got the thing and still think so today. even though my pc set/up sounds great (pwdII/bridge), i still... 
toning down the ps audio perfect wave dac
the only time i've felt it was treble heavy/bright was when using 100% silver core ic's (acoustic zen silver ref 1 & 2 to be specific). not sure why?? as others use silver core ic's with the pwd and have different feeling/results.what type of ... 
which are the better speakers.
a good friend has the AR-9's and i've listened to them often. nice sounding speaker with adequate power driving them. sound really thin if you're short on the juice. not familiar with your mono's but the spec's seem to indicate they can get the jo... 
How many switches do you have to flip the play a CD?
Harmony 1 universal remote will fix your flipping issues (assuming your gear has remote access). very easy to program as well. it's able to do multipal switching via a string of commands with one push of a button or touch screen.been using mine fo... 
Velodyne DD+12 or JL F113 subwoofer?
Vlad is spot on. the software in mt dd12 (not plus) is great. it really helped me get the bass right. spent months fooling around with the settings until i nailed it. could not have done the same with many/most subs. have heard nothing but good re... 
Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst?
yes...but only because i have the ps audio pwt to spin disc's with my pwdII. as good as my pc set-up sounds, i still think it sounds a tad bit sweeter with my pwt in the mix.i'd say about 85% streaming....15% transport.
