Zu Cables, Z cables and Jena Labs-your thoughts
I have a friend with Zu Wax cables and they sounded very good in his system. I have read many good things about their customer service. My friend swears by their cables and he can afford much more and has had more expensive cables in his system, b... 
Good tube CD player beside AH & Heart ??
I have been reading about players from Cayin and QDS(Norh OEM) for around $500 that are suppose to be wonderful. But I personally have never heard either one. 
Kestrals and SETs?
Check out the Mastersound DU Vente from Italy, killer single ended integrated but it is not a SET, it is based on the EL34 output tube. 20 watts a channel. I have seen them on Audiogon for around $1200 used. I almost bought one after hearing it bu... 
Sim Audio or Bryston 7b's?
Sim Audio gets my vote definetely the best sounding SS amp i have heard, very tube like midrange and non tiring sound. 
Smallest tube system for bed room
Synthesis from Italy makes a small integrated and matching CD player that is tiny but has killer sound. One of the Audiogon vendors Symphony Sound carries the line and I heard them at their showroom. They were nice guys give their site a look I be... 
What is the best 2A3 SET Amplifier?
I agree with Edle that Audio Note makes very good SET amps, but not everyone can afford them. I agree with clueless, unless you know for sure you can live with a 2a3 for all the types of music you listen to, I would buy one of the consonance or bo...

What's the best 5 disc cd player for under 1,000?
Cal Audio is very nice if you like smooth as opposed to hi-rez, very analog sounding and can be found for around $1000 on demo. But I believe they went out of business? 
Amp Suggestions For A Newbie - Please
Fullrun, In your price range a used Audio Refinement Complete is very nice. The price maybe to high but a used Audio Analogue Puccini is also sweet. NAD is also decent but tends to be a little forward to my ears. If you do not want used you may al... 
Wisconsin - Anyone interested?
I am definitely interested in that idea. Although I maybe an outcast being originally from Chicago I guess I could be the token FIB. I promise I will not wear any Bears jerseys or use Brett Favre's name in vein.MEby 
Opinions needed; which is a better choice and why?
All, Since there are such great deals out there on the Sonic Frontiers Power 1, I am leaning towards purchasing one. Anyone who has owned or demoed one of these how do they compare sonically to the ARC VT50? I understand they are much easier to bi... 
Theta Data II good transport?
Does Micromega have a newer player out I thought they have not made a player in about 5 years? 
Theta Data II good transport?
Ok so maybe I have already answered my own question. I searched through all the old threads and found out that the transport is no longer made, there are reliablity issues, but the sound is good when it is running. No thanks I would rather have a ...
