The Cable Company - Wow
Cable Company RULES !!Took most of the guesswork out of my system synergy.I've dealt with them since they first opened in the early 90's, great bunch of folks !!FWIW: I have Cardas Hexlink Golden 5-C's, fantastic interconnects and speaker cables. 
Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier
Great, keep this thread alive. I think there will be a lot more to say about the D-100's and the upcoming D-200's, so let us know everything !! 
Tally up best digital player ever
This may change again, with the arrival of the Aloia player from Italy, dist. by Hi-Fi Farm.

Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier
I can thank Psychicanimal for my first exposure to Channel Islands last Summer.I brought my modded mono amps & tube Dac over to his place and was shocked at how well his little Channel Island setup sounded.These D-100's & (soon D-200's) mu... 
Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier
Well, please don't laugh, a pair of highly pro-modded B&K M-200 monos that served me faithfully for ten years !Yeah, I keep good stuff around for a while, so it really takes a substantial, favorable improvement to make me move !I've had dozens...

Gunbei, I think my future is now. When a pair of small mono amps run this cool, cost so little, do so much, it makes me take note of the price/performance issue in a major way.I can't wait to see what the D-200's will do. 
Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier
Wow, from what I gather, these things are the ticket.Everything said about these amps are what I'm looking for.I guess the D-100's would be enough guts for my 10 inch 3-ways @91db. 4ohm minimum.Or should I wait for the D-200's ? 
Clever Substitute for "Poor Man's Audio Deske" ?
Hey thanks Sean, you're a super guy. I've followed your threads closely on a lot of topics (tried to keep up) esp. on AC treatment.I know there's another home-brewed solution for a cutter, I'm working on a simple method. 
Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier
Yes, I am very interested in purchasing the D-100's.I called Dusty today and discussed my current system with him. He is a very helpful, courteous, intelligent man.

Cal Alpha upgrade
Your short list is exactly like mine was.I went from a Delta / Alpha to a CEC / Audio Logic.I also wanted an Audio Aero Prima Dac Mk.1, but it was not available used, until now.There's one on the Gon for about 1700.00, may still be available. 
Question for DIY people: Butcher block shelving??
I'm with Slipknot1, the BoosBlocks are what I'm using (on top of certain shelves, depending on component)I coupled them to my 3/4" acrylic shelves with a dab of Mortite (rope caulk) on each corner and one in the middle, then set the block in place...
