Belles 21A feeler
The only correct way to find out is to place a classified ad...in the classified area. 
Gryphon Mikado Signature CD player
I'm still thinking about what Jzach said. It sounded better than the Audio Note DAC 5 (to him). That's pretty impressive, because to many of us, the DAC 5 would be a destination piece. 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
Actuary,Did you really mean that you don't think that there is a system that can drive them well, or did you mean that you don't think there isn't a system that can't drive them well?(in other words, you feel that they are easy to drive) 
What of your CD's have good sonics?
I have found personally that it is hard if not impossible to "have it all." When I had Spendor SP100s, their softer treble and slightly blunted transient attack made a lot of harsh sounding CDs easier on the ears. My current speakers don't do that... 
Meridian G-08 or ProAc Response TriTower Upgrade
Roor, You could get a reasonably priced DAC for the time being ,and use the PD-65 as a transport.By the way, I bought my PD S-95 for $750.00 here on Audiogon, and I just love it. It is a great performer, and it is just the most elegantly built pie... 
Meridian G-08 or ProAc Response TriTower Upgrade
I used a PD-65 happily for years. Great player, and mine was stock. Now I use a Pioneer PD-S95 transport and an Audio Note outboard Dac, but I still think that the PD65 was a really musical player. Those ProAcs are really special little towers. I ... 
What of your CD's have good sonics?
On my system, I find almost everything bearable, with the exception of "Close to the Edge" by Yes, which is the worst CD tranfer I have ever heard. The problem I have is that most CDs are so mediocre sonically, that when I put on something excepti... 
DQ-10's
They like lots of power, and that could be the problem. 
Favorite ProAc Tablette and speaker stand?
Leahy,Don't let that discourage you. I know that they can be refoamed, not from personal experience, but from ads where the seller states that they have been refoamed. You could do a search on refoaming and call a few places. I'm sure you'll find ... 
Would it be worth upgrading from D2 to Classe 800
Huh? 
Favorite ProAc Tablette and speaker stand?
I'm familiar with both of them, and although the Tablette is a great little monitor, I think you will be disappointed by the loss of bass extension relative to the Response 2. 
Bring on the criticism...
If you can afford to do that, why can't you biamp? 
Overdue goose bumps
Tpreaves,They're not goose bumps, they're douche chills. 
Which cost more: your system or your car?
My system...but it doesn't rust out either, so... 
Adcom GFP 750 preamp problem
No, not at all. I was basing my totally uninformed opinion of it on my experience with one of their larger amps from the late eighties, a GFA-555 I think it was. It sounded like all of the bad things that people accuse bad solid state of sounding ...
