Wadia ?
I have had no contact with any Wadia units to be upfront.From what I hear is the best thing about Wadia is Steve at GNSC.Which is just my lowly opinion.Drop in anytime folks....I'm curious also,Bob 
What should be the terms between buyer and seller
Totally echo what Jea48 states.200 lbs. should really be left to Bax Global.Your really stretching your luck with that kind of weight regardless of how the monetary end goes down.Everyone has their comfort level and operates differently,so I wont ... 
What are we listening for during break in?
Now were getting somewhere Timrhu.I wonder the same thing.Must be one of the first steps towards Audiophileia,an apparently innocent disease of the pocketbook and mind[leftside].I kind of agree with Porz,250????OK.....cheers,Bob 
What CD's do you take for a speaker audition?
The ones I listen to steadily,Bob 
Modded Counterpoint SA3.1,tubes substituted for???
You better mail Mike to be sure.No one except him without looking at unit is likely to know except another tech.Hard to fix a bike or modded unit over the net or phone.He will get you started in right direction,Bob 
Where can i buy ic chips BB pcm63k from

Good power cord vs Killer power cord?
Havent tried out power conditioners,recently bought a Cardas GR and a JPS power cord.They replaced the Signal ones.After 2 weeks I can tell no difference.This is with Counterpoint,Merlin and modded DVD players for system.What to do?Or kaygardnayho... 
Tube Amp Around $1000
Second the CJ,there was one here recently,Bob 
Plitron Transformer for Counterpoint Amp
I would say it was worth it.Had it installed in a pre and power amp.I cant really separate the sound out even though on an upgrade in 01 on a 20 I had done without it,to one done in 05 on a 100 with it, as I didnt have the 2 amps at the same time ... 
DK Design Group vs. Boulder
As Jimi said at the Rainbow Fest in Diamondhead crater in 70,"Wave on"...Nice work 61...Bob 
NAD S200 vs. McCormack DNA125
I also like NAD,but its a McCormack I would buy in your moccasins.Great upgrade paths also,Bob 
shipping coast to coast over 350 lbs
350 lbs calls for BAX Global.Most reliable I can think of,though their are others I'm sure.Sturdy crates is the first step ensuring said reliability.Cheapest means safe arrival to me,not upfront cost so I can't help you there.Hopefully a shipper w... 
DK Design Group vs. Boulder
All good stuff though its apparent spring-training batting practice pitches are swirling to their desired locations.Or when is a question not a question but.....let the games begin,its been quiet for too long I guess.Sorry for hijacking this curve... 
Tube, hybrid or solid state for Merlin TSM-MMs?
2K for both is fine for starters,but low for the finish.If you can continue to use the Aragon,do that and spend all the money on your source and cables.If you need the Aragon elsewhere,then try a Sony 333,555,or a Marantz 8260.Those will cost from... 
How do I correctly store 10 new preamps?
I thought the living room was a no-go from the post 65.Your right about one thing though,cheers,Bob
