I want to change from 2 channel to HT but what....
Thanks for the power cord info Rackon. It's a great receiver! I would like to bi-amp my Merlins, but don't want to spend $250.00 for another pair of cables.

Thank you Flrnlamb. That is the exact route I am planning to take. The AVM200 used is asking $1700.00 currently on this site. I am getting a new Arcam AVR300 for $1625.00 including shipping. From what I have read, the AVR300 has an exceptional pre...

I decided on the Arcam AVR300. Thedautch is using the AVR300 with Merlins and recommends it as well as two dealers that carry both the Arcam and B&K. It should be here in 5 days. Can't wait. I looked at separates and found a review that compar...

Thank you all for your suggestions. I like the comment on the Arcam biamp ability and comment about why I need 7.1 not 5.1. I am leaning toward the Arcam. If I can run a 5.1 system and biamp my speakers with the other two extra chanels until more ...

The AVM20 here on Audiogon asking price is $1700.00. I took a quick look for used 7 channel amps and nothing under $1600.00. I want to stay around $2500.00 but not go over $3000.00. Maybe the AVM20 is only five channel, I don't know. Two of you me...

What separates can you recommend for under $3000.00? Tweeter has a demo B&K 507 for $1630.00. For the price I am very tempted. I was thinking for separates a Lexicon MC-1 (used $1200.00) and a Sunfire amp (used $1500.00?). 
Best Speaker Cable choices for Solid State system
Try a pair from Gregg Straley greggstraley@yahoo.com I have all solid state equipment and the cables are smooth and detailed. 
I want a change, but what?
The construction went great. Here is a link for some info. CD-PRO2M kit infoI am not associated in any way with the seller. 
I want a change, but what?
I sold my Proceed CDD and my Audio Note DAC1.1x. I purchased a CD-PRO2M transport kit (diy sites) and just finished building it. This transport is easily as good as the Proceed CDD using the DAC1.1x and the same Zu Firemine digital cable. I am now... 
Better then Proceed CDD and AN DAC1.1x?
No, is is more conventional looking with a thin machined tray and a round display. It is known to sound like some of the more expensive Levinson transports with the ani-jitter circuit. 
Better then Proceed CDD and AN DAC1.1x?
The Proceed has worked great! It sounds much better then my Cal Delta. I am not sold on the Audio Aero. I have seen some good reviews. The Stello DA220 sounds like a good dac to try also as well as the Benchmark, but I don't know if it will be a s... 
I want a change, but what?
I have my CDD on Sorbathane? feet, but the dac is on what it came with stock. The whole system is on a target rack. I am thinking like Tobias that a longer or differant cable may help, but may not and I might still be wanting for more. This brings... 
I want a change, but what?
I tried another digital cable (Stealth 99.999 silver digital .5 meter) and it sounded worse. The soundstage was not as good and it seemed brighter. I used King Crimson's In The Wake Of Poseidon track 6 Cat Food to do the testing. Awesome song. The... 
I want a change, but what?
I have done some modifications to the DAC. I have upgraded some caps to black gates and some resistors on the output board per Peter Q of AN. I have used some Amperex tubes and changed the DAC chip to the K version. I have not tried a longer digit... 
I want a change, but what?
I have another digital cable I will try. I will see what happens. Thank you for the advice.
