Are there any albums you consider perfect?

Looking for a GREAT preamp under $2000...thoughts?
The Bel Canto Pre3 is the best preamp I have owned. Don't see how it can be faulted. Not sure a couple NAD 214s are in the same league as the rest of your gear though. 
Best Audiophile chair around $200
I've even been tempted to drill some 1" or so holes across that [now exposed] top wooden rung to see if it will 'air it out' even more but I haven't bothered yet. If anyone does, let us know.Happy Lissn'n.LissnrI removed the headrest from my Poan...

Packaging Services
I refuse to ship floorstand speakers. Won't buy them either if shipping is required. It has cost me money and extended the selling time, but the hassle of damaged speakers isn't worth the risk. For example, the last large pair of speakers I sold, ... 
What city do you live in?
Just northwest of Indianapolis. 
Where is your equipment placed?
My rack is between the speakers. The rack is just a bit over 2 feet tall and has minimal equipment. I'm guessing this doesn't affect the sound as much as some of those large racks do. I'd like to try a different placement but the room is too small...
