DIY cable solution--what are my best options?
Go to Jeff Day's web page, Jeff's Pace; he shows you how to make some really good DIY speaker cables, "White Lightning" as well as interconnects based on Cardas phono wire with parts easily sourced from Parts Connection, and inexpensive too! Best ... 
Prima Luna Dialogue 3 or Cary SLP 98L?
I'm also biased to the Cary SLP 98. I also own a Prima Luna Dialogue One integrated, use the SLP with my Cary v12 amp. As stated above, the PL3 might have more synergy with PL amp. Good luck. 
Information regarding Audible Illusions 3A
Congrats on your purchase. I regret selling my Audible Illusions 3A here on the Audiogon. I truly miss it. Wonderful preamp. 
Problems with Infinity Prelude MTS mid-range
Well, I have Infinity Prelude Compositions since I think 2002, and I hope these problems don't crop up. I really like them a lot. They're especially good with low powered SET, better still if you can give them just a little more juice. The Cary V1... 
Torn between two IC's... Please help...

Amplifier for Tekton speakers
Finsup, you're right, it was Part-Time Audiophile, my bad. 
Tannoy vs Klipsch
I don't own, but have friends and family that do, Tannoy any day, 24/7. 
Amplifier for Tekton speakers
Nguyen, I suspect you should find warmer speaker and interconnect. Cary with Tekton Lore is superb, likewise Primaluna with right tubes. 
SS amp as opposed to tube amp
I'm sorry your hearing is such that you can't tell the difference between SS and Tube, seriously, you don't have to listen "intently" to hear the difference. 
Amplifier for Tekton speakers
Nguyen, what speaker and interconnects are you using? I have used Kimber 8TC speaker, PS Audio Statement, Goertz Alpha Core AG1, for Interconnect, Cardas, Silnote Morpheus II, Alpha Core Sapphire silver.I should also mention that I also have the E... 
Amplifier for Tekton speakers
Do not forget about the input/driver tube GE 5751 or Sylvania 5751 mentioned above they both make as much difference as the 84 tubes.

Didn't Eric like the small Red Wine Audio battery amp ?
