original cambridge cxc cd transport
I too have the original CXC, I don't listen to it very much, but been wanting to get the Marantz 8006 CDP. So I put a CD into the CXC, and was very surprised at how well it sounded, so much so that I can't justify getting the Marantz.   
Lampizator Amber - moving up the range?
I have a Lampizator Atlantic SE, it is a very nice addition to my system.  I have no plans to upgrade, I see no point in doing so... plus the high vertical cost to upgrade is a deterrent. As already mentioned,  don't buy into the hype and enjoy wh... 
Is integrated the future for 2 channel audiophiles?
I moved away from seperates, to an intergrated amp for my system. At this point I don't think I've lost anything as far as sound quality, and gained the convenience of a single box. What prompted this change are my speakers, being very efficient..... 
I am sure this has been discussed but want a fresh take. Mapleshade / Timbernation racks?
Timbetnation racks are very well made and can be customized to your needs. Well worth looking into. 
Daedolous Muse V2
I too have a pair of Daedalus  "Argos V2 ", very fine well built and very easy to drive with almost any amp.  As stated above, Audio Circle is the best resource on Lou ' s speakers. Good luck in your search! 
Need recommendations for an alternative to Ayon Crossfire integrated
You may want to consider the Viva Solistino amp, it is a 18W SET, obviously it's less power then the Ayon, but  it is a sweet sounding amp.  
Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
Viva amps are very well made, reliable and great sounding.  
Timbernation Rack - Very Pleased
Another pleased Timbernation rack owner.   
Cardas Cables
I just purchased a set of Cardas Clear Cygnus cables, I have had them less than a week, but so far so good.  
Dust Cover for Amps
Thanks for the link, I contacted Stan and will be ordering a cover for my Viva amp.  
DAC recommendations for CDs in 2-channel system
Might want to take a look at Resonessence Labs DAC's, I'm using the Vertias, for CD play back and this DAC is a great little gem.  Good luck in your search. 
Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
I just took delivery of a Viva Solistino IA, it will replace my Modwright LS-100  PA and KWA 150SE amp. The Viva is an 845 SET with 18 W class  'A'. So far it's not lacking anything and is driving my speakers just fine. I am a big fan of Modwright... 
Anybody watch the Grammys tonight?
Haven't watched it in years... 
What music do you want to play really loud?
MaidenDream Theater Transalantic Marrillion  
Anne Murray
Nope not alone. I remember her stuff being played on the radio when I was a kid. Still like many of her tracks, especially "You needed me".
