Jazz for aficionados
Check out: Secular Breathing by the Jim Knapp Orchestra. 
Dynaudio C1 II vs Focal Micro BE vs Harbeth SHL5
Michaelkingdom,I like your comparison of these speakers, very informative. Thanks for posting. 
ear acute
I owned an EAR Acute once and liked it very much. Have no idea what version it was. Tube rolling recommended. They now offer a DAC as well.

PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better?
My opinion; whatever floats your boat. If you like PMC, great, I have no problem with that. If you like Salk, that's fine too. What's the problem here? No need to start hating on each other. 
Who Will Stand the Test of Time?
Jmcgrogan2,I have one of those but it has a bagpiper in kilt on the end. :^) 
Good dac to reproduce soprano vocals?
Hfl,Was the Berkeley Audio Alpha the Alpha2? If not perhaps you could give that one a listen as it has been refined a bit over the original. 
PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better?
IMO: As far as quality of parts in Salk crossovers, he uses whatever it takes to satisfy his customers. If the customer desires different/better parts than his standard crossover he will accommodate them with anything they want, the sky's the limi...

Zd542,What you do in public (watch) is one thing, what you do in the privacy of your own home (cables) is another. :^) 
Best Place to order cd`s
I like Elusive Disc, Acoustic Sounds, CDJapan, CD Universe and Presto Classical. 
The Engineer's Shoes..
Onhwy61,I always worried about the "Prime Directive". They always talked about it but never seemed to actually implement it. What a joke! :^) 
The usual suspects: S1, Cirrus, Tempesta, MMM1
I wonder about the Coincident Triumph Extreme II. Coincident has been around a while but has been known for excellent floor standers. The Triumph Extreme II is their only monitor.
