Cary SLI-80 vs Manley Stingray
Regarding the Cary and bass, wouldn't you be able to add a powered sub via the Cary's sub-out? 
How do you deal with vibration?
Very interesting post... I'm not quite at the point to begin tweaking my system with stands, virbrapods, aurios, wood blocks, etc. as I am still in search of the right component synergy...Though one question does remain on my mind:I thought that I... 
Tube cdp's and Tubed Output cdp's
Another question... Would the addition of a tube buffer like Musical Fidelity's X10 or a tube preamp benefit a SS CD Player given the desired objective?Thanks. 
Pls advise on budget integrated or pre/power comb.

Advice on Cary CD Players or other options.
Chris,Nice Taylor! I have the 814ce with Brazilian Rosewood; I love it. A noticed a Strat in the background as well?Anyway, I'm in the process of trying out the 303/200 with different cables (you suggested dumping the Straightwire weeks back). I'l... 
Modified Jolida JD100A or Cary Cd308T
Can the Cary 308T owners comment on its ability to resolve lower and higher end detail? Would you classify the player as being warm?Thanks! 
Looking for opinion, Cary 303/300, thinking about
Reb1208, of those players that you tried which, to your ears, was the most analog/warm? I recently tried the 303/200 in my system and was disappointed by how bright it was... 
Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000?
Hi Nick,I'm curious what you have decided on... I'm pretty much in the same boat... Please advise. 
System Components are Warm but Synergy is Bright?
Audio Buff, sorry, I live in the East Coast... What's your prognosis without dropping by?Lkdog, I'm not crazy about using cables as tone controls either. 
System Components are Warm but Synergy is Bright?
Thanks again for everyone's input. I certainly welcome others to provide any of their input as well.Honest1, I think that your dealer is the first person to classify the Plinius sound as "sparkly." From what I gather the Plinius is about as "dark"... 
Star Wars?

Turning Stereo into Alarm Clock?
Hmmm... I not quite sure that this is going to be possible... Can anyone recommend a good alarm clock? All the ones that I see are ugly and have poor sond quality... 
Turning Stereo into Alarm Clock?
Thanks everyone... Are there any other ideas? The thing is that I don't have a computer in the same room... I also don't want to mess with AC delivery to my amp and cd player... I would accept doing something with the tuner..Keep em coming!Thanks! 
Any experience of Planet 2000 with Bel Canto DAC2?
Why match the Planet 2000 with a better DAC? According to what I've read what makes the Planet 2000 is its resident DAC, and not its transport. My opinion would be to purchase a better player if you've got the upgrade bug.I'm using a Planet 2000 w...
