Break in for a NEW 5 year old player

Luxman CL-35MKIII or Audio Research SP-8
Are you talking about an SP-8 or SP-8MKII? If I remember right there were 7 revisions for the SP-8 preamp to make it a MKII. The SP-8MKII is an incredible sounding preamp, very neutral and one of the best phono stages around. Think SP-10 in one ch...

Dustbowl, All kidding aside. When looking for a recommendation of amps and preamps it is always helpful to mention what speakers you are using. In my opinion it is hard to go wrong with Audio Research. 
Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ?
Manley Stingray is like nothing I have ever seen. 
Monster X-terminators vs. Audioquest banana plugs?
I personally have had very good results with Audioquest bananas. I used them with Audioquest speaker wire and Audioquest spades. They fit like a glove. I have not used the X-terminators, however, everyone I know that tried them said they were harm... 
Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages?
