McCormack DNA-225 Platinum and McCormack DNA-500
Here's another possibility. How about 2 platinum DNA125s or DNA225s wired to monoblocks by SMc? Might be interesting as well! 
RCA Digital: Stealth, Pure Note, Cerious
Rx8man,While I've never heard them I've heard some real good stuff about the VD Revelation and Revelation Signature digital cables. I'm told they can be amazing in the right system. These might be worth an audition if you like the Master. I have a... 
Any reliability horror stories out there?
Audio Alchemy gear functioned sporadically. On a good day it all worked, transport, DTI Pro32, DAC, and sounded pretty good. On a bad day it took a lot of fiddling around to get everything to lock. 
Marigo Labs Signature 3-D stabilizer.
Tab110s,I'm giving the Stealth Varidig Sextet a shot. 
Wadia 861se VS. Audio Aero Capitole MKII se
Denf,If you go the mod route, let us know how it turns out. 
Marigo Labs Signature 3-D stabilizer.
Gfroman,You stated that you believe the Marigo is the best digital cable in the world. I'm using the Apparition 5.7 balanced cable in my system and agree that it is an excellent cable, maybe even one of the best. However, I'm not prepared to state...

Try 651-762-8333. As far as recommendations of GNSC you should have no problem finding many on Audiogon. The quality of workmanship and dependability are not issues. As I mentioned before, I'd work the numbers to see which option makes most sense ... 
Amp for rock/metal with high efficient speakers
I would consider a McCormack DNA 125. Buy a used one, very reasonably priced on Audiogon, and have it modded by Steve McCormack. You'd have a sweet amp that should drive efficient speakers with no problem. 
Anybody heard the DeVore Videlity Gibbon Super 8?
Jaybo,I would never buy a speaker without listening to it. However, I've read several articles on this speaker but have had no opportunity to hear it. There are very few dealers for this line. I'm interested in hearing Audiogoners impressions of t... 
Wadia 861se VS. Audio Aero Capitole MKII se
You could talk to Steve at GNSC about his mods for your present Cal mkI. He may be able to extract quite a bit more from your CDP. You'll have to do the math to figure out the best way to go. 
Best movies last two years
Bowbow,One of the things I really like about Audiogon is the lack of POLITICAL discussion. We get enough of it everywhere else and it gets very tiresome. 
Recommendations to "Professional" Reviewers?
They could skip "this is the best I've ever heard!" or "this is the best" statements!. I've read this so many times that it has become annoying. Besides, making such a statement usually invites a severe backlash from readers. The statement implies... 
Records, Wilma victim
Seejungle,Off topic I know but you guys (Coast Guard) did some awesome work down there. Definitely something to be proud of! Thanks! 
Anyone heard the new Virtual Dynamics Revelation?
I'm planning on trying the Revelation Signature balanced digital cable sometime in a few months. Should be interesting. 
DIY IC cables
47 Labs has an interesting DYI cable set. Not cheap at $600 but builds 2 or 3 pairs. Connectors are very unique. Check it out on their site.
