Warm sounding power cord for for CD player to suppress digital glare on vocals.
Thanks Rgs. With that budget, I would recommend a 1.5 mtr Jorma Unity pc. Unity is on the warm side & like other Jorma cables, sounds natural and harmonically rich which is a good match with a cd player like Emm Labs. The Cable Co list the cab... 
Please help - WHICH INTEGRATED AMP?
In that list, I would go for the ECI-4 as that amp sounds warm and musical. The Electro integrateds also look nice on the rack imho. Though the one caveat would be that amp is best matched with reasonably efficient speakers (89db @8ohms or higher)...

Has the OP mentioned his budget yet? Or else any suggestions are just a crap shoot. 
Any mass market speaker with beryllium compression drivers?
Reference 3a's mid-top level speakers use BE domes & are good value imho.  
Infinity Speakers
The Kappa Series was the next series above the Reference Series, but was below the IRS series (Infinity Reference Standard). No question the IRS Omega is the better speaker. It was one of the last classic Infinity speakers & used the later and...

What is your budget?

dtc 12-02-2015 3:16amView My Activity should probably be changed to View Activity. Only one of the options relates purely to your posts. I suppose My Posts and My Threads could be added at the 4th and 5th options in View Activity, but once you ... 
Swiss amps. Worth the price?
I’ve heard Soulution, CH Precision, Dartzeel and to a lesser extent Goldmund. Swiss audio gear does tend to have a smooth, clean, resolving, liquid (tube-like) sound. It is like a European version of Japenese high end gear.That said, the above bra... 
New Forum Format Sucks
No markup tag - but I did have to copy and paste. Just hit the quote button and then paste. A button would be better, but this works. Thanks dtc, i've worked out how to use that feature now, though it is kind of clunky. As you said, a button ... 
New format, dislike.....
I really don't see the logic of clicking on 'My forum threads' and having 75% of the screen taken up with other members activity, with a small box in the top RH corner devoted to yours. To me, 'My forum threads' should be exactly that. Or else may... 
Best DAC for pcm files
Wisnon, the OP’s budget was for 2nd hand equipment. The OP could pick up a 2nd hand Elyse dac on a stretch if he’s patient. That said, there have been some dacs mentioned which are well out of the ballpark. 
Best DAC for pcm files
12-01-2015 8:40pmmaxboy00 +1 for the Modwright Elyse DAC, very fine and resolving DAC.+ 2 on the Elyse dac. Plus you'll get great customer support from Dan Wright. 
Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist?
Pani 11-28-2015 4:43amWhen you talk about speed, check out the Japanese tube amps. Leben, Air Tight, Zanden to name a few+ 1 on Leben. The Leben CS600 puts out 32 watts @8ohms. That integrated also has good bandwidth for a tube amp. It also happen... 
New Forum Format Sucks
Can AG please add the ability to directly quote posts, instead of using archaic mark up tags? 
New Forum Format Sucks
Mmm some things about the new platform are more user friendly, some not. I don't like the bleached white interface. Much preferred the traditional yellow interface as it was easier on the eyes. Also, still no ability to post images/photos?? And no...
