Shanling CD 3000 or Cary??
I bought the Shanling from Walter Leiderman at Underwood hi fi. Greatest player I've owned cold out of the box!! Incredible layering/imaging and real life acoustic sweetness. This is a PHENOMENAL player, and glad I went this route! He also gave me...

Dynaudio X 16 or Focus 110?
I'd also like to hear opinions of Dynaudio Speakers from other members in general. I'm new to the line, but kind of intrigued by it. Thanks for any input. 
Paradigm Studio 10 or Monitor 7 V 5?
Cool!! Thanks Guys! I appreciate all and any additional input! 
Analog Tuner Existence.....
Thank you for your input. I am considering a used MR 85 Mcintosh tuner, and am a little gun shy for obvious reasons! 
Mcintosh Separates...
Grimace,You may be right! I talked with Chuck at Mcintosh who feels the integrateds are very close in comparison to their separates. Too close to justify the cost difference perhaps. Interesting.

Outboard Dac's...Do they make a big difference?
Hi All,Thanks for your responses they were VERY helpful! I bought the PS audio Dac 3 and can't believe the difference! Immediately the music popped out of my Maggie MG 12's like never before! For even greater resolution, I put on the 196 setting a...
