Cary SLP98P not working with Audio Research VT100
OK, when I remove both from the APC S15 and plug them both into a PS Audio Duet no problems for hours.I'll try different cables, I still have my trusty Kimber Kable Hero's. The impedence for the amp is the same as Cary's 120S, so I'm guessing that...

Creek, Rega, Oppo CD Player/DAC
I love my Oppo, but I'm not a huge digital guy. I haven't done the side by side, but in my memory, it doesn't sound as good as my Bryston BDA-1 from a few years back, but better than any of the other DAC's I went though.Of course, it also plays ab...

I like the Prima Luna stuff I have heard, no contrary opinions from me on the reviews, but it does seem odd, the timing.On Upscale, I have had 75% positive experiences. I called for something else and was talked into buying a Cary Audio SLP 98P F-...

Ahhh, a post after my own heart. The reason you can't hear any difference from the power conditioner, I am guessing, is you are one of the lucky few to have a stable and consistant power supply. What most good conditioners do, is give you a stable... 
Speaker for modern/alt rock music
Klipsch Belle or if you can find a pair of Klipschorns in your area for under $2000 you won't be sorry. And, those are lifetime speakers, if you get them for that price, over the years you can do upgrades such as the crossover network, wiring, and... 
Album which you have listened to most?
So cool, I have never been to Asia. Sadly, I have actually avoided it. The wife and I do Europe fairly often, Barcelona, London and Paris last year. I love Barcelona. Such a great place, I would love to buy a place there someday.
