What's the best sounding SS or Tube linestage pre?
Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions.Happy Listening! 
DAC for Sony SCD-C333ES
I also recommend the mod. The DAC mentioned is very nice too, but IMHO, the mod on that piece is the best $$$ spent. I've got that unit and spent $500 in mods and there is a WORLD of difference. Get the extras that you'll get for $700 and you'll b...

Can use a opinion on Stealth - CWS interconects...
They are very nice and a lot of bang for the buck. I recently compared them (1m) against other wires costing up to $1000 and they were always JUST as good and in one case BETTER than the ones that DID cost a grand.Good luck! 
What's the best sounding SS or Tube linestage pre?
Hi All,Thank you all for your comments. Any thoughts or experience with this product? I'm looking at the EVS Ultimate Attenuators to use as a passive pre. They seem to have the shortest and cleanest signal path. Looks good on paper! Any reason the... 
Top Ten Speakers of All Time?
EgglestonWorks gets 3 of the top 10 spots, IMHO, with their IVY, SAVOY, and ANDRA models. Nice folks too. 
ARC 100.2 pop and hum
Try it at another location and see if it still hums. You may have a light with a dimmer that is causing it. I had this exact thing happen when I was showing my amp to someone that was interested in buying it. It did it everywhere in the house! It ... 
What cd player should I buy?
I understand that the BAT cd player works very well with the vk-60 amp.If you want to go SACD, you could pick up a used Sony 777 2-channel player and put a few bucks worth of mods (e-mail me for recommmendations if you like) into it and that would... 
I need your expert advise
Boski,You did not mention your interconnects. You can have great speaker cables but if your interconnects are your weak link, your sound will only be as good as what that weakest link is capable of transferring to the next component of your system. 
IC upgrade suggestions - 300 budget
I agree with Driver. I use the Stealth CWS interconnects also and very pleased with them. They come in two versions, shielded and un-shielded. I personally prefer the sound of the shielded but, as mentioned, they come with a moneyback guarantee an... 
former BAT vk200 owners-what did you move up to?
Here's what my listening experiences were.....let me know if you agree. I had a Mark Levinson 23.5. Then a Coda 11.5 which sounded better then the ML. Then Clayton M100 monoblocks which were better then the Coda. Then a Plinius 100 MkIII which sou...

What can you do about a nonselling seller?
If you are a serious buyer, I'd also recommmend you show that you are by giving your complete name, phone #, and delivery information and inquire exactly on how you will be paying for the item. That will get a sellers attention and show that you a... 
New dvd players without the chroma bug?
See the "secrets of home theatre" site for complete info on which players have it and which don't. Panasonic has a player that is $230 that has the Fafoudja chip. It is mentioned in the progressive-scan shootout results at the site. 
A Simple Question: DVD & Pre-Pro
The first response from Inscrutable is the CORRECT one. Get a DVD player that also has DTS capability (most do now) but WITHOUT a decoder (for DD/DTS), and let the pre-pro decode the DD/DTS signal. You can get an excellent player now for as little...
