Looking to upgrade from receiver
Gotta second the ARC Integrated for $700 used. Incredible value. I just paired one with an NAD 541i and some Spendors for a friend's first taste of high end, and boy is he smitten! My power cords didn't hurt, either. Have fun.

tip on moving/positioning speakers
Wish I had known of these when the carpet installers said I had to slide by Steinway B outta the room and back again! 
Expectations in upgrading the power amp or preamp
Rockvirgo says it well.Firstly I bought amps that would mate well with my speakers.Then I bought the best preamp I could afford to ensure proper drive of the amps, and be as transparent as possible, as I was NOT looking for coloration nor euphony....

HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
Thanks, guys.I need to repeat that I am in no way attempting to seek recourse through F&S. I repeated to Mike that I expect NOTHING of him, as his only link was to be a nice guy on Christmas Eve and offer to sell me the rights to a mod at a (c...

Spica TC 50 - What are the best stands?
PLATEAU in Canada makes a Target clone that's more attractive called the V23 (23")that's sand/shot fillable and only $230/pr list! I LOVE em under my Spendors.Happy New Year! 
Revel F30 and M20
Huh? About the only thing I can offer is that if you plan on listening in the nearfield, you'll be fine with only the M20.The F30 requires a longer listening distance in order to have reasonable coherence with its 400Hz-crossed big woofer.This wil...

What's under YOUR CD player?
Neuance 
transport w best detail retrieval and 'weight'
Electrocompaniet's EMC-1 floats an 18 pound "turntable" inside its case for ultimate mechanical function. And it REALLY does have a total lack of digital artifact! Spookily real.
