how good is oppo bdp 83 on music from c.d.'s?
As stated, you may want to get the SE addition. The standard is just OK. In fact, going to my DAC, so as a transport, it's just OK as well. 
Cary SLI-80 and B&W CM7's
the sensitivity is a little low, but a friend has some Focal Monitors with the SLI80 and they sound amazing.

Two tube amps for your consideration please

Records are getting noisy
i think it's bad pressings. older records are not getting this problem no matter how many times they are played and cleaned. I think I am going to concentrate now on finding older records in great shape. 
maggies with bryston 7bssts
You know Bd223, I said that I loved the Bryston gear, and I do, I have a BDA-1 that is the best of many DAC's, some much more expensive that I have tried, and I love the sound of the Bryston amps with Maggies, but.....I don't have Bryston amps, I ... 
New DAC recommendation $1K, hopefully tube.
MHDT Labs Havana was absolutley STELLAR!! I tried 8 DAC's in the last year, and this may have been my favorite actually. It is very musical, whatever that means, it sounds rich and full. It's just not as extended as some of the SS DAC's so I final... 
amp question
Dude, don't waste money on a "Magic" power cord. Get a good power cord to match a great piece of equipment, I say spend 90% of your money on gear, including a power conditioner, which I consider a component. But no high end power cord improves sou...

Didn't one of the men's magazine's (Stuff, FHM, or Maxim) pick ELP as the worst major rock band of all time?I grew up listening to ELP because my stoner brother loved them. If I heard "Karnevil 9" or "In the Beginning" one more time I was going to...
