Bump. I'd love to know too! 
Most educational audition you ever had?
Les Paul and Mary Ford at the Penta Hi-Fi show in London in the 90s. Same song and recording. I think it was a Roksan versus a Krell CD player. The LP absolutely trounced the CD. 
What's wrong with my almost new speakers?

Audio Research pre-amps?
