Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx
Greg, small things amuse small minds.. 
Soliciting Upgrade Advice
Well $5k these days would just about buy a 2nd hand pair of Infinity IRS Betas. Certainly the classic Infinity IRS Gamma would be within reach. Some other options in that price range would include Legacy Audio Signature SE & Revel Ultima Studi... 
Speaker cable suggestions
I did find Jorma Origo biwire cables were quite exceptional. They are very natural sounding, wide bandwidth, good tone and timbre & are neutral (one of the attributes of good cables). They are also not big and heavy & are easy to work with... 
Are DACs superior to top-graded regular CD Players
George, I don't do favors for square-glassed Mr Magoo's with a superiority complex. 
Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx
No, I fear i'd reach too many non compos mentus gents like yourself, and thus waste my valuable time.

Greg, if you're considering the Laws as a career path, I'd consider another vocation. 
Are DACs superior to top-graded regular CD Players
The only voodoo bull**** in this thread is the bogus advice being given by a a certain member who spends too much time reading 'Audio Engineering for idiots' who espouses throwing money down the drain on a 25 year old vintage player. Easy come, ea...

Greg, your story is incongruent with the well informed information I was given. I won't take the above information on face value, but will cross check that in my own time. Again, I am sticking to my guns until and if I confirm otherwise. As for my...

Nice attitude George.. 
Are DACs superior to top-graded regular CD Players
George, good advice about the economics of doing the other mid at the same time as refreshing the caps. Though FYI, I have personally heard the profound difference different caps make in virtually identical platforms. For example, going from the A...

Greg, you are getting into legal questions I am not prepared to comment on. You obviously want to ruin some people's life's here. I gave an opinion on this forum, you're free to disagree. Please refer any further questions to Luxman or your lawyer... 
Are DACs superior to top-graded regular CD Players
George, I disagree with your view that newer, much better caps such as Jupiter, Deulund or Mundorf would not improve the sound. Besides that, the original caps would be 25 years old now & would have degraded, so it is sensible maintenance to c... 
Are DACs superior to top-graded regular CD Players
Doug, I live in Australia so I only know one or two high end AE's locally. I have spoken to and like and respect Dan Wright at Modwright, however I believe he only does set mods such as his famous Oppo & Sony mods, though you might want to che... 
Are DACs superior to top-graded regular CD Players
As George commented on, I have eschewed a separate dac or transport/dac combo & own a Vitus SCD-025Mk2 which is a pretty awesome dac & does DSD. I still like to spin cd's, so it is great that the player also has a very good transport. 2nd ... 
Best used floor standers up to $1300
You could buy a 2nd hand pair of Infinity Renaissance 90's for that money. The Rens are incredibly, fast, transparent & have good bass when paired with a strong ss amp (atleast 200 watts, or lower wattage with low loss, high current and a high...
