Preamp with Remote ?
Right on audionut.Went from CAT ultimate to Aloia. Great sounding preamp at a steal of a price 
Cary tubes?
I have to agree with musicslug.The cary to a CAT is a Major upgrade. It all depends on what sound your looking for. If you want the big midrange bloom then go with the Cary's. The Cary slm-200 is also a great amp 
Best Travelin Music
another vote for Talking Heads and Dolby's "keys to your Ferrari" 
Guilty Pleasures
Dittos with Thomas Dolby. Great recordings and totally upbeat. Found a Aliens Ate My Buick in vinyl awhile back. If you don't feel to guilty check tdolby.com 
Best version of Aqualung on CD?
A dynamite recording is "A Little Light Music" . It doesn't have Aqualung but has a compilation of live concerts. A must for Tull fans. Recorded in 92 
Will there be stereos in Heaven? Cables?
that would be hell 
Most overpriced audio component made
Transparent has a speaker cable At 23,800. I'm pretty sure that's for a pair. How could one expect to have more people in this hobby with numbers like that 
Amplifier Stand
Polycrstal Amps stands 
High on Thier List, But Low on Yours
The michael green designs Justarack is my worst purchase. I don't know if it's on a high list but it's definitely on my lowest of lows list 
Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS!
Watched the last episode. Hardly anything mentioned of the artists in the last 15 years. The show revealed the jazz progression to that point. Seems to me Marsalis wants jazz to degress. Were the Brecker Bros. ever mentioned? 
Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less
Slick2 there's one for sale on audioweb for $2600. Bi-amping is a plus greater soundstage. I'm using audiotekne cables throughout. That's a steal 
Anyone heard or own the CTC Blowtorch?
Bound for Sound had a review over a year ago. He said the Best. They are custom built and not many people have them. Price is10k+ Ouch! 
Best Preamp under $5k??
Traded CAT Ultimate in for Aloia pre. Definite upgrade at half the price. You may find one at 3K. A steal 
Anyone compare Dunlavy vs Aerial
Khaki Check out the Audiomeca cd player. I am using the Audiomeca Mephisto Transport and Muse 296 dac. I will be checking out the Audiomeca dac in the future. Little pricey for both but killer sound 
Best speaker a wife would tolerate
My wife made me upgrade from Dunlavy IV/a to the V's. More bass and dynamics.
