Selling Aesthetix Pandora - What price?
Just an fyi I just dropped the price on my Aesthetix Romulus cdp to $3900 which is a flat out bargain for anyone looking for great bang for the buck. The player can be easily converted to 110v by an Audio Engineer.

Lol Zd, yep I did fly through your post! Mea Culpa. Their is a controversial Emimen sing which describes the experience of listening to a B&W speaker, but I can't post it here.

Selling Aesthetix Pandora - What price?
Hi John, negative. I bought a Romulus which is up for sale here atm. Yeah about $3800 for Pandora & $4k for Romulus is the going rate at the moment.

Zd, I don't know what Mdemaio's budget is for speakers as that hasn't been clarified, but the Joseph Audio Pulsars would blow the Cdm-1se's out of the water. I've never really liked the B&W tweeters which are too strident for my liking. The on...

Well after researching clearance prices on Romulus cd players on A'gon, I decided to list my Romulus for $4200 obo (excellent condition, 2nd owner). My asking price is more than fair, however my example is 240v severely limiting potential buyers d... 
What is the benefit of balanced xlr cables
Bol, I think you would be impressed by the Jorma cables. I have owned Origo, Prime & now Statement. Going from Origo to Prime was a big step up in sound, but I think the biggest jump was moving up to the Statement sc's. Straight out of the box...

Stereo power amp for $10k
Raraavis, if buying new in your price range, i'd 2nd the lovely Modwright KWA-150SE, but if you're also prepared to consider good recent 2nd hand examples, there is a Vitus RI-100 in very good shape here on the 'Gon asking $7k. The RI-100 can be u... 
The best CD Player for the money
Hi Bud, yes "The Beast" uses an MSB Diamond dac & I can tell you the Vitus RCD-101's dac kills it, and the dac is the SCD-025 is even better. Also being a bit old school, I never really took a liking to the pancake chassis of that gear. 
The best CD Player for the money
@Budburma, yeah time for a change. The Romulus is amazing at it's price point. But I have a pretty special spinner waiting in the wings to replace it. Hint: it is made in Denmark!

@Mdemaio, you're welcome. The Sound Anchors stands are great value for their performance and looks. Good stands with spiked feet are essential to get the best out of monitors. Let us know which way you decide go with your system. 
YG Acoustics Hailey 1.2
I've heard the Hailey in my Dealer's treated showroom paired with a Vitus RS-100, DCS Pucini cd player & DCS Scarlatti dac. The Vitus RS-100 provided the normal Vitus hallmarks of smoothness, tonal richness, mellifluousness & non-fatiguing...
