Solid State amp with wide soundstage
You may be able to find An Aloia amp used for close to a grand. A great amp regardless of price. Sold my Wolcott amps which sold for $9000 and got better sound. 
AC Conditioners: Must Have Tweak or More Voodo
I am using an Audio Tekne power tranformer and I plug everything into it including 2 amps. Works better than the ps300, titan power block. Since I couldn't put dedicated lines in without ripping the house apart this was definitely the way to go. A... 
Attention Cary CD Owners
I had a cd 300 player and most of the parts were commercial japanese and was definitely entry level. Have they gotten any better? 
Best Pre-amp under 2k-USED
I replaced A CAT ultimate with an Aloia pre with excellent results. You may get a steal on a used one if you can find one.

CD Player for around 3500?

Warm, smooth cd with good bass under 1700 used ok
If you can find the Audiomeca for that price jump on it. 
Speakers below 800
I just listened to paradigm speakers for 775 retail. They were excellent. Great imaging and totally disappeared. I forgot the model but if you check Paradigm it's probably the only speaker in the price range that I am suggesting. Bang for the buck! 
Looking for comments on Piega P2, P2 limited, P5
I hope you get a chance to listen to the Piega's. The Piega 10's are the most musically satisfying speakers I've had in my system. With their ribbon technology I doubt if you will find a better high end. The bass was also deeper and tighter than t...
