Von Schweikert VR4 JR Speaker Cables
JPS superconductor is what my local dealer uses and they match very nicely with the VS's 
its all about the music,no way hose
I see it just like anything else. If you love golf, you will slowly upgrade your clubs, etc. to get the best. Your real joy is playing the clubs, although it feels good to just have them. If you are into riding bikes seriously, you are going to ev... 
Best Cd Player under $100,000
Wow, $100k for front end, $100k for amp preamp, $100k for speakers. Why not just pay live bands to play in your living room. 
Oracle Delphi vs Linn Sondek vs VPI Scout
VPI without a doubt, not that the others aren't good, but... 
Best Cd Player under $100,000
Darn there is a great one out there, but it's over $100k so I can't mention it in the thread. I think I'll stop by the ATM on my way home and pick one up. What's the maximum you can withrawal in a day again? 
Kharma Ceramique in a small room ?
I believe you can make them work. If it is a square small room try diagonal placement. If it's too bright, dampen the walls more than normal (because you'll have too many repeated reflections because of the small room). You will need room treatmen...

Sony SCD-1 Filters
I do probably have a problem with my ICs, but I did my listening at my friends house, since I don't own an SCD-1. "unmusical" was only in comparison to the others - not a statement about the CD player by the way. The fatuiging part may have had to... 
Integrated Amp Choice: budget tubes or ss?
check out Antique Sound Lab - they have good integrated amps at budget prices.

I think the music is a given. Getting into high end audio is asking about just that. I'd assume that we were all into music to begin with. Some people get into gear, and I even have to catch myself from listening to gear too much. If you're not ta... 
Sony SCD-1 Filters
I usually use the "optional" filter setting. The "standard" setting has more air but seems fatiguing and not as musical.

What is the test of time?
Good point Ozfly. I don't even like the beetles. I used to but their music seems really old now. I like Bach though. His music is deep enough to always get something new from it. I can't say the same for "it's been a hard days night..." Go figure. 
What is the test of time?
The four M's Monteverde, Mozart, Mendleson, MenudoOK - which one doesn't fit? lol
