Seeking a "high end" integrated amplifier
Very partial to my Unison Research Secondo. Tubed preampe section and SS amp. 100W into 8 ohms and 180W into 4 ohms and basically flat output from 10 hertz to some absurd multiple of 20000 hertz. Onsale from a store in the bay area that sells online.

I like the ACI Titan quite a bit. Excellent build quality and you save a ton because you buy directly from the maker. They have a generous return policy. 
Are there any albums you consider perfect?
OK Computer by Radiohead is in my opinion the best album of the past 15 years. All time? Maybe Transformer by Lou Reed.

Totem subs
I ended up with the Paradigm Sub 12. Liked it better and easy to set up. 
New favorite VINYL Album?
Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed. He says it is his masterpiece. Whether a mastered version or not, it will sound the same. I used it to test a B and W 801D and a high end Harbeth. 
Best musical sub for a Triangle Celius?
I did a lot of listening. REL B series, M-L, Totem, B&W, etc. Guess what blew everything away? Paradigm Sub 12. The auto set up feature is a Godsend. I was shocked. Not even close. 
CD player under 500 for Unifield speakers
It is for a house I rent out. Not my main place. I don't want to have tenants use a high end cd player and for the few times a year I am there, it isn't worth the hassle.

Make sure the amp is made in China so the Chinese made B&W speakers work well with their country-mate.
