Cool. Thanks Downunder. 
I need some speaker help
Yamaha still makes tweeters for the NS 1000s I believe. You may need more power. 
Shahinian Obelisk Passive Radiator Replacement
I would go with the real thing. You should check the woofers for foam rot also. 
Dead Can Dance on SACD
Amazon has them for 19.99 also. They will probably be less when they are released and other sellers have them. But Elusive is giving a 17.00 discount on the whole set.

When you get them Nrenter, we will expect a review. 
Aesthetix Calypso VS ARC Reference 3
I mean no disrespect Dgad. But I am absolutely sure. What you think you hear is not what you hear. But I do believe you think you can. There are lot's of things going on inside a component that affect sound quality but the short piece of wire goin... 
Aesthetix Calypso VS ARC Reference 3
I don't believe you or anyone else can hear the difference in power cords Jafox. But I'm sure you believe and that's why you do. It is not a generalization it is a fact that you and other psychoacoustic engineers need to realize. I don't care whom...

Really what are the Exemplar and blue smoke?
Usually when you let the blue smoke out of a component it stops working. 
Aesthetix Calypso VS ARC Reference 3
In my system the Calypso just lacked dynamics and soundstaging and was a little grainy compared to the PS Audio PCA-2. I would like to try the ARC myself but was impressed with the Pass Labs X0. Although it could be a little bright on some recordi...

I haven't tried the Ref 3 but did not care for the Calypso. 
REVIEW: McCormack MAP-1 six-channel preamp
There is, my Denon has it as well as some others. 
REVIEW: McCormack MAP-1 six-channel preamp
A simular device is the PS Audio PCA-2 with multi-channel card. It works very well. Since there is no delay or distance setting, it is important to have a player with this feature built in. 
Doors Box Set on LP - Bernie Grundman
I haven't heard the vinyl but the Rhino CD remasters are better than the last mini vinyl boxset. They have added bonus tracks that are sometimes very good as well as being newly mixed from the original 16 track masters. Some purists dislike them b...
