Denon DP80 Template
Call VPI Ind., they use to make a base for the DP80 & DP75when they 1'st entered business. 
Are the Empire Turntables any good?
I had 2 different 598's-beautiful to look at, but don't dare walk when being used. 
Enough to drive the dynaudio s3.4
As Simple said, power is no longer the necessity it once was with the older Contour/Confidece. I have the S5.4 Dynaudios and can drive them beautifully with 50 watts from my Audio Aero Capitole tubed stereo amplifier. I also have on loan a pair of... 
"Aesthetically pleasing" DAC???
Look at the Chord 64DAC. Nothing looks like it, and definitely high end 
Recommend a DAC for my system....please.
Try finding a Chord 64DAC and a CEC TL2X transport. Warmth, speed, bass-all the right stuff in spades. Very musical. Use good quality power cords and digital cable, preferably use XLR. 
Anyone have modem problems with this site?
I had the same problem also. I asked AudiogoN about my problem and they replied that I was unique. I changed from an ethernet input to a standard input-no more lockups, but a slower running web. 
CEC questions?????
Your best bet to buy CEC is right here on AudiogoN. I also have the TL2X transport, into a Chord 64 DAC-an outstanding combination. I'm using a Siltech digital XLR cord. Very musical, airy, dynamic, and just a joy to listen to. 
How do the Cubs sound compared with the Cub2s?

Nyack or Rockland area
In the greater NY area there is "The Audiophile Society". Each month in Stereophile there is usually a listing for the club. Stictly high end, no surround or video. 
Review: Audio Research SP-6b Tube preamp
I beleive you can lower the gain with an internal switch or jumper change. Check with ARC, I'm sure you'll get the needed help. 
Did Howie Mandell of Altis pass away
Yes, he's gone @ 47 years young 
Preamp choice: CJ vs CAT vs First Sound vs ...
I've owned the CAT MK III and tried several CJ's, owned ARC LS-25, VAC STD LE, the best by far is the Hovland HP-100, used with a PS Audio AC Lab cable, feeding a Mark Levinson 336, into Dynaudio Confidence 5. The Levinson is now gone, being repla...
