Speaker Cable Recommendation
the 1st, best sounding, and cheapest pair I own are Cardas Quadlink. Question though... How does it sound with cheap wire? 
Sota Sapphire?
Geoffj85 I cannot say enough about how good the SME 309 and Dynavector 10x5 sounds on my sapphire. It also has the upgraded arm board as well which helps I'm sure. 
stack speakers question
I thought so shakeydeal but just had to ask anyway to see what other people would think. Just reading up on bookshelf stands alone facts are thrown around about cabinet resonance which sort of tells me no (not smart to stack) As per slik's recomme... 
stack speakers question
thanks for the info plato, I really wouldn't want to harm the amplifier could it do damage? I should also point out that the amp preamp only allows me to go to the first number on the vol control as it is and its loud enough. (some cd's 7) Both ar... 
Better Blu-ray player....
I have owned the 2500BTCI for five years and it's a great machine with army tank construction. I was drawn towards it by the simplistic design approach "all inside the box" Though it's slow to load it has the best Bluray picture I've seen and use ... 
Waterlogged Thiel CS-3.6
Hi Boonetrc sounds like we share the 3 pair of Thiel speakers syndrome. I'm terribly sorry to hear about your loss, That actually sounds reasonaable to get them redone in my opinion. Then of course if you have always wanted the CS2.4 model then I'...

Thiel CS2.4 and suggestion on preamp
I think it sounds great as it does absolutely nothing, I believe it gets out of the way of the music. Speaker cables on the other hand really affect the sound in my system. If i want highs all day with tawt tight bass the straightwire crescendos g... 
What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos?
Krell may be of interest. I have the KAV-150a from 1999 and cannot seem to part with it even though it can sound harsh when pushed with low impedence speakers. my solution was to mate it with a small bookshelf design. Maybe something in the 250w a... 
Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's
congrats on a happy amp pairing it looks like you got a good one. Happy you are giving the CS2.4 a chance, I picked mine up in 2005 and have never desired anything but. What music are you listening to? 
Thiel CS2.4 and suggestion on preamp
try and listen to a BAT preamp. I think it sounds perfect and I came from using the VTL 
Just starting out... 2-channel home theater
keep it simple would be a place to begin coming from an apt dweller myself. Umm depending on how quickly you'd like to reap the real benefits of some of the amazingly constructed gear out there you may want to pay close attention to the listening ... 
CD Player Recommendation
I was in a similar situation as yours when looking for a good cd player. The Rotel RCD-1072 is a marvelous player that does HDCD and Redbook of course very well for the price. To me it has a more forward tone to it compared to the Ayre CX-7e which...
