Solid state amp ultimate stop...
Tenor 300Hp to me that is the last stop. 
Wadia 301 or ??????
I don't think so, why do you ask? 
Wadia 301 or ??????
Bigkidz is absolutely right and I like all of his suggestions better than any wadia(that's my opinion- not fact)- you may want to add the audio aero prima to that list or a used audio aero capitole mkI. 
Does this product exist?
Unclejeff's idea would work, get a cap. MkII and an inexpensive DVD player and use a digital input on the cap. mkII the only possible down fall of this is you would have 2.0(stereo) sound and NO dolby digital. Another option would be to wait for t... 
Amp Stand Recommendations Please
I agree with Lak, the component stands sound great under tenors, but so do grandprix racks.... so do zoethecus racks..... so do rixrax- I don't think you can go wrong with stands for those amps. Just do something! I am partial to the sistrum stand... 
Difference between SME20/2 and SME30/2
Talk to Jtinn hear at audiogon he is very familar with the SME tables and would be able to offer some insight. 
Lamm ML2 Vs Tenor 75
Its true the ceramic midrange is very fragile, that being said I don't see how the Tenor's would be any more or less prone to having a woofer failure. A small current surge or static charge could take out a ceramic driver, I would have to assume t... 
Lamm ML2 Vs Tenor 75
I recall reading you are using kharma 3.2's if that is the case and you can afford the Tenor's its a no brainer to me! The Tenor/kharma synergy is something very special- I don't think I have ever heard better sound than that combonation. The 75's... 
Kharma confusion
Brad- I know Charles was working on a ceramic tweeter, though I hadn't heard a word about it being close to finished let alone on a production model. I know the diamond tweeter is well worth it if you can at all afford it, as is the enigma crossov... 
OTL amplifiers
That tubegroover fellow is grooving right! I agree with his post 100% 
Who makes the best passive volume control?
Look into the placette units, they are among the finest passive units available. 
Best monitor speakers:
Hey Kelly where could one find more information about those avalon monitors? The website doesn't have any "pro" monitor listed, just the old monitor which has been discontinued. 
Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems
I have one disc that it will not play, Shefield labs "My Disk" I have tried it in 4 capitole mkII's and it just will not read the disc. That is the only disc I had problems playing and seeing as it is technical and not really music it doesn't both... 
EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS
The transport will be shipping first week of June. DCC2 will be shipping mid- end of June.Gladstone- I know I know :( Time will tell though, if its not as good I will just get the DAC6 and switchman and sell the DCC2 and take it as a lesson learned. 
EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS
Jetter- Ed Meitner is the "man" behind DSD, he is the man who made it work, and the same goes to SACD. SACD was a flop at best till Ed got his hands in the pie, I don't know how or why but it works. In fact it works better then anything else I hav...
