Thanks to "donvito 101" for bringing the Rythmik subs to my attention!  Great post from "davehrib" on sub design/integration! Nicely done. 
Computer, CD transport or Network Player?
Any of the three will work.  My personal preference by far is a silent Windows based PC.  Doesn't look like a PC if you choose the right enclosure.  It can be built for about $1,500 including an audiophile sound card, graphics card and very good B...

Thank you to all of the above.  A home audition is a must as "aolmrd1241" expressed.  I am thinking that it boils down to three of the brands that seem to do most things correctly, in no particular order: The B&W DB1, Velodyne & JL Audio. ...

Jeff Rowland to what?
You have put together an incredible system that surely must be satisfying and enjoyable.  I am certain that you are fully aware that your Monitor Audio PL500 II's are a 4 ohm system.  My only suggestion would be to contact the speaker distributor ... 
Looking for a Phono pre around 1K
darkstar1I admit that I goofed when making my remarks.  You were using the Sutherland Insight Phono Preamp and I the Ph3D.  They have a great deal in common but probably not exactly the same in terms of sonics.  My apology.
