Best Tube preamplifier under $600
The Marsh P2000t is a very strong tube preamp for about that price used. Great tube sound without being too syrupy.Michael 
Best 2 ch. Amp, for music, under $1k used
I agree with the McCormack suggestions. I would also add the DNA-1, which is very upgradeable.You might also consider a Monarchy SE-100, Marsh A400, or Musical Fidelity A3cr. A friend of mine had Studio 20'a and he drove them well with a Denon int... 
Help with computer...
You can do this (and a lot more) with a Logitech Squeezebox.Michael 
$1,500 Amp budget - Best options?
There are lots of great options here. I just looked up the B&W 803D and it says nominal impedance of 8 ohms, min 3 ohms, and 90 db efficiency. Conventionally I've seen B&W's as better driven by solid-state (rather than tube) amps, so I wil... 
Need an affordable USB to coaxial adapter on a Mac
A Hagerman HagUSB is just slightly over your price range new, and certainly in your price range used.I've had one for some time now and it's worked great.Michael 
Review: Audiosource Inc. AMP 102 Amplifier
Very nice review. It's refreshing to hear about inexpensive yet strong products on audiogon.I'm considering getting one to power my zone 2 (kitchen) speakers, as my 5 channel amp is full with its part in the 5.1 channel home theater.Michael 
Mini Monitors under $500 used
Second the Usher S-520. It's a great speaker for the price and size.In that price range, I'm also a fan of the PSB Stratus Mini's.Michael 
In-celing and in-wall speaker choice
Hi Steve, good to hear from you! I assume that the Joseph's are a little up there in the price? I'm trying to do this for under $2-3K.My thoughts are to use PSB's for the ceiling+in-wall surround room, and something like definitive technologies to... 
Is the Classe Cap-101 enough for Totem Arros?
I second Ethanh's notion that tubes sound best with the Arro's. For the price, i have been happiest with the Jolida 302b. It's a great match. I'm sure the Rogue also sounds wonderful with the Arro's, but I haven't heard the combination together.Mi... 
DAC for 300-400 $
For just slightly above your price range, a California Audio Labs Alpha would be excellent.Michael 
C'mon name that amp ...please?
Without knowing your speakers, I can offer suggestions of a Krell FPB600 or a Plinius SA250. Both amps can have a slight softness in the highs, which would help for what I assume is an over-aggressive response in the highs with the Wyred4Sound. (C... 
Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend
You have my sympathies, as well, for the loss of your friend. I enjoyed his posts, and never knew that he also lived in Baltimore. It would have been nice to be able to meet in person.Michael 
Solid State Pre-Amp: OK to Use With Tube Amp?
As a general rule of thumb, I think for Magneplaners under $1000 that you'd be better off with a strong solid state amp. I feel that you would have to spend more for a tube amp powerful enough to drive the Magnepans.Michael 
Dropout when ripping CDs to wav or applelossless
Slikric3000, can you elaborate on why a Mac Mini would be the last thing you would use?The Mac Mini is a great little machine that a lot of people use as a media server. I'm curious to know your rationale on why you wouldn't recommend it.Michael 
Solid Silver Ethernet Cable?
So let me get this straight:You're using a wireless signal from your source to 2 ft from your DAC and then have your DAC connected by the last 2 feet by a solid silver ethernet cable?It seems to me that you would be better off selling the silver e...
