Audible Illusions modulus 3A, what would be the next level of up grade?
Move up to the Audible Illusions Modulus 3B.  It is light years ahead of the Modulus 3A.  I owned the original Modulus 3, 3A and 3B.  The 3B is absolutely dead quiet and the music just really flows.  It is a bargain at the retail price and I saw o... 
Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts?
Now, now everyone lets calm down and please no hateful or negative remarks.  I started this thread hoping it could remain civil..  I get it that sound is the most important thing, but if the asthetics are lousy, I couldn't live with it  
Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts?
@grannyring @waltersalas So you guys got rid of 20K+ speakers for a 3K set of speakers? Was this purely on sound or did asthetics come into play as well? 
Oppo UD 205
I messaged the guy who is selling his for $1925.00. I told him it was price gouging and he replied that "he is a Saint because they are selling on eBay for much more." Anyone who pays more than $1299.00 for a new one is a fool and deserves to get ... 
Phono cable recommendations
I found the VPI phono cable works best on my Prime and I get 0 hum! 
Paypal issue beware.
Did you contact the buyer and verify that it is being sent back to you?  That would be my first step. 
Whats the best sounding tube cd player up until now? Vintage or newer.

Looking to Upgrade Outlet
In my system, I have close to 50K invested, so I figured two $100.00 outlets were worth it.  I have 2 dedicated lines, on 15 amp and a 20 amp.  I did the wiring myself and had it checked by the city where I live.   Back when I did it I spent aroun...

I have to agree with folkfreak, he is on to something.  His system is of extremely high resolution and thus, enables him to more freely hear minute changes in the sound, compared to a guy like me with a much more modest system. 
Looking to Upgrade Outlet
I use the outlets made by Shunyata.  They were around 100.00 and are cryo treated. 
Power cables advice for Mcintosh Ma252
Shunyata power cords work great with all my McIntosh gear. 
Amp / Speaker combo ~5k
I  had a Parasound Halo for almost 2 years.  It was ok, but not as great sounding as the magazines would have you think.  There was a thinness in the upper mids which I never liked.  I bettered it with a McIntosh MA6600 Integrated which went for 6... 
McIntosh Preamp
Look at Audio Classics site, they have McIntosh in every price range. 
Oppo Ceasing production
There is someone on here selling a brand new in box Oppo 205 for...wait for it....$2600.00.  I sent the person selling the player a nice and polite PM saying that what he is doing is taking advantage of a bad situation and that he should be ashame...
