shindo vs. atma-sphere
I have no experience with Shindo and just recently heard an Atmasphere and thought very highly of it. My all time favorite pre is the SMC VRE1-b but it's just not in reach at this time. I no nothing about the Atmasphere phono in their pre (They do... 
PAD Aqueous 20th Anniv. vs Cardas Golden Ref. IC's
I had Cardas GR and found it lacked top end extension and bottom end control (although thru the mid frequencies it was stunning) and have since gone to Purist Proteus Provectus and LOVE it! 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Audiolabyrinth you are right...after a 1/2 dozen supports rave about this cable now the true test comes and many are selling off saying they are moving up the line! Yeah right.What will be the next "Oh my go*" cable of the month? Wait time will tell. 
Quality of Analogue Productions pressings
Twice now I've had to return albums to AS and had to pay shipping BOTH ways with no credit given even for the 1st shipping charges. Will NEVER use AS again.

Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
Wow so all these guys whom reported these hum issues don't know what they are talking about? I find that hard to beleive since a number of them seem well versed in this hobby. Also have seen not one person respond positively to owning a newer plus... 
Stealth Dream V10 Power Cords
So how does the V10 speaker cable compare to what you have used the in the past? 
Thoughts on SME 10A

HRS M3X isolation base or Minus-K?
My own understanding is that the US distributor of Brinkmann (and several of the dealers) now sell and recommend the Vibraplane over the HRS products. Have you looked at a Vibraplane? 
European Vibraplane?
Actusreus how would buying in US then shipping from one private consumer to another save money? Most large companies that do a lot of shipping get discounts of 10-40% off regular shipping costs from us mere mortals!
