Can someone tell me what's going on?
You are on the right track. The IC from source to pre is the main deal. 'tis the one I would go with, big time, if I could only do one. Your next step is pre to amp, but you'll get the most bang for the buck and the most tympanic stimulation (as y... 
Help with Audioconnects
The best for the $$$? Or simply the best? Big difference here. A price range will help narrow things down to 10 or so, rather than the sky. peace, warren 
I just sold my cd player what should i get?
Marakanetz, am I reading you right? The Capitole (Audio Aero?), just barely better than the Cambridge? I don't know where to go with that. Gots to be...forgedda 'bout it. I admire your courage to post that. You are one confident listener, and I, t... 
I just sold my cd player what should i get?
Audio Aero Prima. The Capitole MKII's baby brother. List for $2300. This player goes tete a tete with players for more than twice the price. Those little tubes make all the difference. I can turn you on to a good place to purchase one. I love mine... 
Where do you start your cable upgrade?
I second Lafish. Start with the source. 
Amp Stand Recommendations Please
I second Lak. Call Robert. He be da man over there. Smart, audio savvy, honest and patient. He'll set you free. I have all my electronics seating, very happily, on Sistrum racks. Your Tenors will be, too. peace, warren 
Amazing Solo Piano Recordings
I bought Dick Hyman (finally) plays Fats Waller. Killer recording. For you guys interested in great piano solos: this is one of the best (sonically) I've ever heard. Any others by Dick Hyman as good as the Fats one? Thanks in advance. peace, warren

Hi End is, obviously, from the posts here, is in the ears of the beholder...as it should be. peace, warren 
Who's to blame for the Grain??
The source. I believe that is always the best place to start. It's going to be the beginning of the end of your system as you know it, now. Welcome to the world of audiomania. Have fun and go with it. Start with the best cdp you can go for. You'll... 
Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon?
Great music out there. Then and now, and not enough time to put a dent in listening to it. Figure, on a couple of hours a day. What's that in the scheme of 500 hundred+ CDs. I have more of a problem just trying to decide on what not to listen to. ...

Bryston 3B
I owned the Bryston 4B going back to 1978. Lost my manual with all the stats, after 10 years. The amp, still, sounded the same. GREAT! The guy who bought it loved it, as well. peace, warren

AR SP-5 or Threshold Sl-10
The SP5 twas never state of the art. It was a "good" preamp. The SP6: now that was a preamp. I believe the SP5 was ARs first attempt at ss. I believe they had a different name for it back then. Something like "analog modules." Not sure, buy that r...
