Cal Audio Sigma 2 with Elite PD-65?
Hope you don't mind the change, but I too have a chance to get the Sigma 2 but I'd pair it with an Arcam CD92 (or Rotel RCD-855). Anyone know if my sound would improve?Thanks. 
ARCAMS
Hi, Xmore and others.First, let me state my bias. I love my CD92. It is very detailed and handles all areas of the audio spectrum well. It has helped to make the speakers disappear. Don't have a personal comparison with other models, but from my r... 
Maintaining an Even Keel.
without disturbing the precious sound quality achieved thus far? Do we need specially treated peanut shells or what? Despite my tongue being lodged in my cheek, I am serious. What can be used to level components without degrading the sound?Thanks. 
Solid state amplifier $2K Used or New
Go west young man! To California. (If you're already there, go north.) That's where they make the Pass/Volksamp Aleph 30. You will do yourself a disservice if you don't audition it. A very special amp right in your price range. Check this review (...

How much does your system retail for?
Am I allowed to post in this heady company? My system would retail for $4400 but who pays retail? I get great sounds, even though my system is so "modest". Of course, of course even in this range most friends wouldn't think of spending so much on ... 
Best value speakers available
I second Wirehead and I've heard Clements. I also own them. Dollar for dollar, incredible sound - from the bookshelf to the floorstanding models. Again, I've owned both. Don't understand why more 'philes don't mention them. My interest in B&W ... 
Finally gonna buy new speakers, ideas?
Sorry. I suppose I shouldn't suggest anything so humble, but I have a pair of Clements 206 di's and they are great. However, they don't come close to reaching your price. The reason I suggest them is that mine are hooked up to an Aleph 30 (success... 
Clements Speakers
Sorry. The previous post should read "The 206di handle bass . . ." Plus, the Clements website is www.clements-prc.com 
Clements Speakers
Clements speakers are exceptional. Terrific value. I bought a pair of the 105di bookshelf speakers and the sound was amazing for such a small box. I've also listened extensively to the 107di bookshelf and almost bought a pair. But I got a fantasti...
