Luxman D-06u or Esoteric K-05Xs CD / SACD player?

MSB Select Dac vs Vinyl
OP,Steve Hoffman Forum is the LAST place I would seek advice on High End Audio.  90% of the people on that board think PS AUDIO and Parasound are as good as it gets. Audiogon, AudioShark, Audioaficiondo sites are some of the best places to ask....... 
Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K

Best place to sell high end audio equipment?
Batmobil,I have NEVER seen anybody on EBAY charge the BUYER the Paypal fee. Ive been on EBAY since 1998 and have about 30,000 Feedbacks so Im hardly a Newbie. Your scenario might work in theory but have yet to see it implemented. 
Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps?
Dag Momentum Integrated was recently compared to the Diablo 300 on the "My long list of Amplifier" thread here on Audiogon. Momentum beat it on every metric...and not be a subtle margin..as it should since its more than twice the price.

which Audio Research pre-amp?
For the life of me I cant figure out why your not going with an AYRE KX-R Twenty Pre instead of Arc.  I have the REF 10 and the KX-R Twenty so I am not biased (Fanboy) to either brand. Why would you think the synergy is better with Arc?

Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!
Twoleftears,Guess you never listened to an Esoteric player. Are you going to trash one of the Highest end players on the planet if not THE best player because it has 8 Filters to choose from?  
Plinius amp repair in Michigan

Harbeth 40.2 OR Spendor Classic 100 OR ??
Did you try AN-E SPX Al Nico or just the plain jane AN-E?
