Thanks for the tip. She must be great if your comparing her to the (wait while I bow down 3 times) Ms. Wilson.

New Rolling Stone - 500 Best and a free SACD
9 tracks. - if your lucky you can get a 10th bonus track and win fabulous prizes yada yada. It's a leader to get folks into Best Buy and some exposure to SACD I believe. It's worth buying just for their take on the 500 best albums. Fun reading abo... 
Best amp to use with ML Aeon i speakers ...

Red headed stranger or the man in black?
Cash - The Rick Rubin American Recording series is just fantastic. Also, his daughter Roseann is outstanding in her own right. Love Rules of Travel also. Although, Willie Nelson is great and his recent one with all the Duets are well done.

Rebuild a Counterpoint SA-100 or start over?
If it's a MOS FET amp, I would recommend you contact Frank Van Alstine for pricing info. He has been doing great work on Haflers for years and years. I believe he does a nice job on rebuilding earlier Dynaco tube amps also.

SACD Opinions: Gimmick? Like it? Don't? Why?
I love SACD. I use it exclusively in a dedicated listening room in only a two channel system. I bought a Sony 333 in 2001. It replaced a Nakamichi CD2 that I had bought new in 90/91. It was a definite improvement in regular CD over the Nak, (it ma... 
Can speakers be too good?
You should listen to Maggies and Logans. I Love how singer songwriters and folk type stuff is rendered with Logans. A buddy has Maggie 3.5's and they are also excellent. Both used are well within your budget. Have Fun!!! 
direct drive vs. belt drive?
It's a toss up and I'll let the folks who know their physics comment on the technical details. I believe belt is considered the more desirable feature of the two due to "isolation" of a belt helping to remove motor borne noise from being amplified...
