Daedalus
I agree, Tvad. I am a big fan of Martin DeWulf for his forthrightness, integrity and humility. He gives you the positives and negatives of each product and compares them to like products he has auditioned. He spoke well of the Ulysses but did not ... 
Speaker Recommendations for Soundstage and Imaging
The new Spendor SA1's will give you what you are looking for in both areas -- and in spades! Terrific little speakers that throw a huge soundstage, image precisely, and essentially disappear. Very easy to live with.neal

I think your best bang-for-the-buck in that price range would be an Audience Adept Response Ar1, used for about $300. I use it in my BR system and it made a noticeable improvement in clarity, speed and transparency. I also use the AR6 in my main s... 
mcintosh tuner 7082,3,4
I have an MR 80 and I have had several guests who sat in my living room while I was listening to it assume they were listening to a CD. It is exceptional.Neal 
Anyone use CD tweaks

re-terminate nordost cables...anyone?
It's actually more expensive for IC's. I recently paid Nordost $100/end to convert one end of IC's from XLR to RCA. But they did a great job.Neal 
The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s.
Jefferson Airplane's After Bathing at Baxters. Barely recognized, but one of the best of the '60's, and surely their best. Sound quality is pathetic, alas.Neal 
Reterminate Powercon to IEC
Thanks, Nasaman, I'll check. Neal 
re-terminate nordost cables...anyone?
Nordost have retermionated my cables 2x and always have been pleasant with prompt turnaround.Neal
