| Looking for new speaker cables Townshend Audio F-1 Fractals cannot be beat. And fairly priced. | |
| Class d amplification Atma-sphere makes a very good amp. The designer is very smart. But I would still get a Jeff Rowland Class AB or Donizetti before a class D. Class D cannot outperform a great AB amp. | |

| Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable Skip a preamp. It's an expensive volume control and most likely yes, it will color t the sound. But a good DAC with a quality analog volume control and you're set. Audio Analog, Meitner and Playback Designs make such DAC's. | |

| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? Dohmann Helix One is likely the best turntable out there. Unless you want to spend $350k on a Wilson Benesch. Origin Live Voyager S could be up there as well. But I'd go with a Dohmann before any others myself. | |
| More on XLR vs RCA considerations? @invalid It's where the component has isolated inputs and outputs. There is some great information on the interweb about it. | |
| More on XLR vs RCA considerations? If your equipment is True Balanced then XLR. Otherwise I'd go unbalanced RCA. | |
