where to buy Exton cds
Slikric3000,to answer your question,yes they are for real.The sound quality is incredible.I just wish every recording label would hire their engineers, equipment and dedication. 
Kondo, Zanden, CJ, Ref 5? Pre w/ Pure Tonal Color?
You may want to audition the Einstein preamp.I have recently added to my system.Very musical. 
recommendation for power cables for Gryphon amp
Thank you for all the inputs.I have temporarily connected the gryphon to the Isoclean Super Focus.They sounds good ,however I have not compared them to other high end power cords. 
Best value amplifier under or near $6K
I have had the Acoustic Reality 1000 monos for about 3 years. They are very good and easy to move,connect,and run cool. 
Recommended Shostakovich?
I love Shostakovich,but only play the symphonies when my wife is away.From the music perspective I prefer Mariss Janson conducting to all the others.Sound quality is not always perfect.I strongly recommend the violin and Cello concertos and the 11...

the differences between sacd players
Different SACD players do result in different sound.I do agree with Ckoffend that Multi channel SACD can sound unnatural and very artificial.I do listen to a 5 channel system but through a Meridian 861 which does distribute the sound properly.I ha... 
Cello audio Palate or Suite still worth buying?
I have two Cello Audio Pallete preamps/equalizer one for each system ,in my main system I also have a Cello Encore preamp.I could not be without them.You can see my systems on Audiogon.Early versions of the Audio Pallete has limited inputs,later v... 
Buying used vs. New
I have had excellent experience buying used on audiogon.Out of atleast ten purchases I had only one cd player that did not work out.I got fantastic amps at a very reasonable price.The one high end amp I purchased new from a dealer failed ,ie caugh...
