Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are?
Mofi 45's of American Beauty and Workingman's Dead, and Neil Young's Decade  
New to Preamp - Preamp suggestion around 10k
The Aesthetix Pallene should be added to your list...  
Decide between ARC Ref 6SE and Aesthetix Calypso Eclipse
The new Aesthetix preamp (though its been available for awhile) is the Pallene.  It's the pre-amplifier that is featured in the Mimas integrated amplifier, and is $6500.  It's also a hybrid design with a tube output stage.  
What are some good things to do when going to an audition

Best driving music.
Comfortably Numb...real loud!  
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
wish i didn't know now what I didn't know then...Against the Wind...  
Looking to replace a CD transport...
Hey Andrew - (dont mean to derail your thread), I dont have any further transports to suggest given the good ones noted before, but I do have an interest in the Mimas and specifically your thoughts on the DAC card.  I have my sights on the Mimas (...
