Pangea interconnects?
No experience with their interconnects, but their power cords sucked the life out of my system. 
Speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated?
leotis.........................If you haven't found a pair of speakers within the next 6 weeks, get back to me.  I am waiting for my GE Triton Reference speakers and will be selling my Triton Twos (not the +) at that time.  I am thinking around th... 
Too many tube amps
I would ditch the yaqin.  I had one years ago and it was quite the piece of junk.  It was a hybrid 80wpc integrated amp that caught on fire and took out a pair of Vandersteen 2ce speakers with it.  The build quality was terrible and the insides ha... 
Preamp with Tuner
If you want a great sounding tuner, get a Magnum Dynalab.  I have 2 of them in 2 different systems and most of my listening is to fm radio. 
Speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated?
For 5K, Golden Ear Triton Ones and for 3500 a pair of Golden Ear Triton 2+.  Since the Golden Ears have built in woofer amps, you would only be driving the 2 midrange drivers and the folded ribbon tweeter.

gdhal................Still waiting for my pair of Reference as well.  I am keeping my Triton Ones though and moving them into my secondary system.  The Triton Twos in the secondary system will be posted for sale by end of Summer.I never heard the ... 
Parasound Halo Integrated vs Yamaha AS2100
I have a Parasound Halo Integrated in my second system.  It replaced a Rogue Cronus Magnum tube integrated and I couldn't be happier.  I am driving Golden Ear Triton 2 speakers with it.  I listen to this setup at least 6 hours a day, every day and... 
Cryogenic treatment of tubes? Anyone with experience positive or negative?
I bought 2 pairs of Mullard NOS 12au7 (CV4003), one set cryoed and the other pair not cryoed.  I will be dammed if I could tell a difference.  Incidentally, one of the cryoed tubes started making noise right after the 90 day return policy ended.  ... 
Shunyata, Kimber or Nordost?
bo1972.....................No offense, but your analogy reeks of pure BS.  I have had both Kimber and Audioquest cables in the past and now I exclusively use all Shunyata cables and power conditioners and my system sounds fantastic and better than... 
Shunyata, Kimber or Nordost?
I use all Shunyata cords in my system and am very happy.  When I was using a Classe model 15 amplifier, I used a Shunyata Copperhead pc and it sounded wonderful. 
Need Power Amp advice
I concur with nordicnorm. 
Best Debut Albums
Pink Floyd - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn  (Mono version) 
I'm selling speakers for the first time and concerned about fraud
Don't forget, we all started with 0 feedback. 
Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier?
Check with Johnny R at Audio Connection in New Jersey.  He is a Belles dealer and had the Aria when I last visited in February. 
INTEGRATED CHOICES AND ADVICE PLEASE
For tubes, I would definitely go with the Prima Luna HP integrated, for solid state I would recommend the Parasound Halo  integrated.
