Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player
I do hate to utter these words(lol) but.....GK does have a good point on the Sony Walkman,I use one in my second system that GK was kind enough to gift to me for the price of shipping.It actually sounds pretty darn good, very neutral and natural ,... 
Power Conditioner for Amp
I can highly recommend an Equicore 1800 but..... You are only going to find used examples IF anybody will part with them.I have everything plugged into mine including my Ayre amp and it is a big improvement on just the wall supply.

$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
You could look at 10k cables as all being relative.I use $1200 cables on 4k speakers so roughly 30% of the cost of the speakers.If you step that up it would only equate to a set of 34k speakers approx.Now granted that is a little out of the averag...

Dont you find it kind of amusing that good ol George throws this bone out and then just sits back and watches the mutts chewing on it?
