Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen
Blue Jeans - I use them and they are Belden cable, which is what is used in most recording studios and applications. Low capacitance and sounds great. 
Saint-Sean’s 3rd Symphony
My personal favorite of this Camille Saint-Saens piece is Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim on Deutsche Grammophon. It has an energetic quality that I like and the organ, piano and orchestral instruments are all very well ca...

Class D is not digital.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?

For solid state the Schiit Mani. 
Schiit Mani - any opinions ?
Been listening to one for two weeks now and am going to keep it. It's just one of the best values in audio ever. With all the phono stages I've owned, and I've owned quite a few, my sense is that anyone who is in the market up to $1500 for a phono... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
