How often do you change components?
Do your audio friends listen to and scrutinized the differences in you car audio system after the rotations? 
For the sound, or?????
It's simply a case of synergy. It's rare to find something that old and inexpensive that sounds better than the new, but it does happen. Now if you had tried the older unit in a half dozen systems with the same results that would be something. Mrt... 
How often do you change components?
When I averaged it out over the long term it worked out to about one major component per year. 
MIT Oracle MA Digital AES/EBU
Richard,, I use MIT's Oracle speaker cables, so when a digital link upgrade seemed necessary I brought home the Oracle MA and although it was the best one I tried, I had issues with the price. I kept searching and found the new Shunyada ZI-Tron to... 
Best interconnect between pre-amp and CD player??
Suunyjim.. you may want to look for another dealer, mine lets me bring home anything they have in stock, I don't no of any other way to find just the right cable. I demoed some hideously expensive speaker cables a few months back, the owner even d... 
AES/EBU Question
Yes invest in a decent AES cable, you won't be disappointed. 
I-Mac for computer audio?
I concur with ( Nonoise ) keep the USB cable as short as possible. 
Odd Revel Performa M20 Question ?
The M20 likely went though the same mid production changes as it's bigger brother, my floor standing F50's dropped nearly sixteen pounds each from the original. This was nearly ten years ago, when I asked Revel why they lightened the speaker they ... 
What a better pre-amp Arc Ls-27 or Ref-3
Before I try to answer the questions above, I would like to say how much I enjoyed my time with both units. If you require big bass slam, the LS27 or REF3 may not be what your looking for. That being said, I don't recall feeling I was missing anyt... 
What a better pre-amp Arc Ls-27 or Ref-3
I went from the LS27 to the Ref3, and found the Ref3 had a cleaner, clearer sound, less tube like. Both were excellent but the Ref3 was a step up, and the Tung-sol 6550 NOS tube made it even better. 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Good analogy ( Onemug ) An upgrade path is a continual improvement, a merry go round goes nowhere, but at least your merry. Actually changing components regularly sounds like fun and is probably educational, but don't do it unless you have the spa... 
Scaling down
I guess I should have given more of an explanation. I do have three systems if you include the garage one, but the main system in the living room takes up allot of space and we do a fair bit of entertaining. So a more unobtrusive system would bett... 
Forty bucks well spent....
The green pens by ( CD Stop Light ) are the most effective. We did a test, simply by using different markers on a piece of paper then hitting them with a lazer pointer. 
Fuses that matter.
This past weekend a group of music loving friends and I were listening to my music maker and got discussing the Supreme fuses I'd install a few months back.We decided to take all the fuses out and replace them with the factory ones. We didn't remo... 
Diana Krall Survey
Saw her in concert a few years back, it was one of the most memorable concerts we've been too. The high light was her Jazz numbers, the entire audience was swinging and grooving.
