what do you think?
I agree, you're much better off getting equipment you're not _as_ tempted to upgrade, and getting less ICs and skipping the line conditioning. When I was building my system (not that I'm by any means done) I got the front end fixed first (already ... 
sexiest sounding female vocalists?
Roberta Flack on Reverend Lee from Chapter one is aural sex at its finest. Otherwise, pretty much anything jennifer charles (elysian fields) sings on (especially Nathaniel Merriweather presents songs to make love to your old lady by). 
Krell 400Xi integrated amplifier

Is my setup mid-fi or hi-fi?
I have a very similar setup, but Totem Forests instead of mani's, and transparent/analysis plus cables, using a sony scd-1 with parasound halo p3/a21 combo. I think it's great, and sounds very much as others have described: clean, transparent, mus... 
Totem Hawk
