Help me find a smooth solid-state amp?
You should consider a Sim Audio Moon W-3. This is about as smooth as it gets. I also concur on the Bel Canto DAC-1 
Opinions Needed: Active or passive pre
Get a Rel sub, you can run it off the outputs of your amp {it actually sounds better this way} See the Rel web site for more details 
Harm. Tech cables/wires good with Maggie
I'm currently using a Rel Strata with my 1.6 set at 33hz. Great results.

joekras, the bel canto seems to be alittle smoother and has less glare in the treble, It also has more "atmosphere" I think the upsampling helps 
Cheap Powercords...worth the effort???
Try the MIT Z cord . A great cord for the money. I have 2 for sale at $50 each. Call me 770-514-4731 days 
Sony SCD-777ES as a transport
RMML, what transport did you replace your sony with? What were the results? 
Sony SCD-777ES as a transport
I'm currently using the sony 777es as a transport with my belcanto dac1. I think it sounds great and I have sacd capability. 
Placette pre amps
mikeg, my e-mail is mdeal@theathletesfoot.com or call me at 770-514-4731. My interconnects are Discovery plus4. I have used the "nude" balanced attenuaters from EVS in the past. I really liiked the sound but I really wanted a remote. 
Siesmic Sink
Phill, Thanks. I called sounds of silence. They distribute Vibraplane. Any other thoughts? 
Placette pre amps
I'm currently using the Placette remote volume control, only one input and no active stages, instead of a preamp. It is the best my system has ever sounded. Sony scd-777,Bel Canto Dac-1,Sim Audio w-3, Magnaplaner 1.6 
How good do SACD players play normal CDS
Try the Bel Canto dac1. I'm currently using it in place of the DAC section of my sacd-777 and it sounds smoother and more musical
