What's best CD player one piece price no object
I second Mejames recommendation, the audio aero is simply a wonderful player- any one purchasing a player of that caliber owes it to him/her-self to listen to the capitole II. 
Whats up with Merlin?
I am not a Merlin owner, but like the product and have GREAT respect for Bobby he is one of the most helpful and considerate people I have met in his line of work. There are many others who are good but for some reason he and I really got along- a... 
Locate Stan Warren
Why would you want to invest a mod on an old CD player? it doesn't make much sense to me, it would be worth NOTHING used after the mod, you may want to consider the possibility of getting something newer for the same amount of money you are invest... 
Words from the Wise -Part 2
Marty- Why the hell would I do something like that?!?!?! 
No Return Address??
So that's the reason I haven't seen my Rockport sirius 3 tt yet is because Andy shipped it through the US postal service and had a 3 year old address the crate- suppose I should look into that. 
Tenor amps..."to pre or not to pre"
Well I don't have the experience with some of the gear all of you fine people are talking about; I have, how ever had a long and detailed comparison between the CJ Art II and the Tenors. The tenors sounded so much better, both my friend and I rule...

Verity's Fidelio vs.Talon's Raven: Who Wins?
That is a very interesting question, I have been curious about these two speakers for a while though I have never heard either! I have how ever spent some quality time with both of there big brothers the parsifal encore and the Khorus X, in fact I... 
Alternatives to Dunlavy speakers?
9rw- The test spec sheet proves nothing which is why I was making the reference to the audiom TLR tweeters(retail on the tweeters alone was $2400 for the pair, so they were pretty serious car speakers- but any ways) spec sheet, frequency response ... 
Rix Rax or Grand Prix
Mike- Thanks for your help as well- you know who this is for so I will relay the message :) 
Alternatives to Dunlavy speakers?
Someone get that man a tissue! Sorry Brauser I don't agree completely. I agree they are a good value but better can be had for the same money, and they are OK but I understand why everyone isn't rushing out to get a pair, they aren't that resolvin... 
Rix Rax or Grand Prix
EdThanks for the input I will check your suggestion out, I was leaning to the Rix Rax more as well how ever I wanted to consider a few other options. 
Which link is most important?
I don't agree with Gregm completely, I always found better results working upstream and flowing down, i.e. start at the source and go to the pre THEN go from pre to amp, what's lost can never be regained and for that matter any coloration added be...
