Apogee slant 8s compared to larger apogee models?
Oh, hi Rossman! 
Apogee slant 8s compared to larger apogee models?
I had the pleasure of listening to the Slant 6 in a small room. It was divine. I owned the Apogee Stage, Duetta Signature, and finally now the Apogee Scintilla. I have heard all the others except for the almost non-existent Grand. To tell the trut...

I can't stand CD players, save for the few non-oversamplers out there. They sound beautiful and natural. On the other hand, I will never suffer those vinyl anxiety fits ever again. 
Interconnect/Speaker cables
Place the monos behind the speakers, and make your own ribbon SCs. For ICs, the Speltz IC is a hard one to better. 
Ferrite Ring filters bad for Interconnects?
In my experience, they do not make the difference of that of a truly shielded cable. 
Upgrading from Supratek Pre to ?
I would think the circuitry could be attended to by any respectable audio electronic engineer. Besides tubes, an occasional resistor going bad would be the normal bad news. 
What one product has redefined music for you??
Walking into a room of real music produced by Apogee Scintillas.
