New amp
Thanks everyone! Interested in hearing more about the MB-450 monoblocks if anyone's owned them such as are they high maintenance? Would my spks cause them to strain? One thing that I've noticed is that they arent too expensive compared to the sign... 
jumping back in, where should i start?
I agree with the above post, The speakers I own are hands down "one of the best bang for the buck" deals in all of audio 
Amp for Thiel CS6
Funny, The local dealer that I purchased my CS 2.4's from said the same thing about the BAT pairing Chryslers_rule. I too am looking for more quality power and have to get out soon for some listening demo's 
MFSL cd's vs. Redbook cd's
Yea I've heard that from friends who own the older issues Rja. I wonder if at all what they have changed (gain 2) or whether it's solely dependent on the initial recording quality. 
MFSL cd's vs. Redbook cd's
I guess it all depends on how good your hearing is Houstonjazzfan. I believe they are very worth the extra especially on 180g vinyl. Does that keep me from sying a great big breath of relief everytime I put on Yes "fragile" gold disk? Not at all m... 
HDCD recommendations??
I second Gslone with the King Crimson, "Red" is my favorite release. 
Isolation footers for Rotel RCD-1072
With a well assembled system such as you've put together I say yes you will hear a difference. I think the heavy feet recommended above are worth every dollar. The difference I noticed in the sound when I put them under my Rotel was a more laid ba...

Distortion on Giant Steps?
Hooked for life after I heard "Giant steps" and "Coltrane's Sound". Say has anyone read the book about John Coltrane called Ascension? It's a great read 
component placement
Cool thanks all just glad no one told me to chuck the cd player and stream music from a hard drive. Rhljazz believe it or not there's only about 3 inches above the preamp.(I would'nt feel safe with any less) My phono will be about the same once I'... 
CD Player Under $1.5k With Vinyl Sound
Ryder, The more I listen to records the more I can relate. I've also started spending much more for high quality recordings. Have you heard the Natalie Merchant or Yes Mobile Fidelity CD's yet? As they say it starts at the source! 
Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters?
Yes! On Vinyl when they arrive, It's a little off subject but this weekend I was speaking to a musician that made the comment "the only difference is that you cannot see it" when discussing sound fidelity differences between Compressed music and w... 
New favorite VINYL Album?
Art Pepper "The way it was" Mo-Fi 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
I recommend footers under components and high quality ones at that. I was once told that taking the lid off my krell amp would reveal a better sound and I think it did but not to my liking. Anyone else heard this and if so what's up with at? 
Which amp
Thanks, Should be plenty of good models to choose from here.Even though I have 150w with my current amp going into my spks it controls the drivers well, When I get into louder vol levels I can tell that it strains however
