Sinatra question
Grant, I just ordered your recommendation on Ebay. I'll let you know. I wonder how it is different than vegasears? will let you know? Yours is a 2 disc and his a 4. Could one be more comprehensive of the time? 
How should I ship these babies?
Dayton does not ship to the areas I'm interested. But thanks. The bottom line: looks like it (though a bit more expensive) will be UPS. The least problematic for residential to residential since that be what we are dealing with, here. with insuran... 
If you had $12,000 for speakers and amp
I would buy the Harmonic Precision Caravelles with their stands, YBA Passion Intgegre, and if you need those very low Hz (as I did) get a Jame EMB sub woofer) I'm suggesting these components from first hand listening experience as you can see if y... 
BEST UPGRADE regardless of cost?
Got to go with Sgr on this one. We are talking cost no object. Well that be some VERY serious $$. 
BEST UPGRADE regardless of cost?
The Source. Always has been...always will be: the most down right major player in a system. Speakers a close second. With the advances in digital in the past few years, most new cd players today, can bring some added happiness to ones's tympanics.... 
Sinatra question
I know the 50s stuff guys. Thanks, but I'm looking (as I said) pre `1950.

I found his voice already over when he came out with Strangers in the Night. My Way, NY, NY, give me a break. Some things don't get better with age. Phasing, emotion sure. The voice? Not to these ears. 
Power conditioning: APS, Eclipse, Velocitor, or ?
I have the original Eclipse. I got there via the Audio Magic Stealth and then the Matrix. I'm sure the new Eclipse (I believe it is called the Transcendence?) eclipses mine, but I'm a happy camper. Jerry's babies need a very long high amperage bre... 
Sonus Faber Cremona I need input on this
Never heard them, but they are one of the most beautiful pair of speakers these eyes have come upon. Gorgeous piece of workmanship. They weren't hooked up so I have no clue about the sound. I would think long and hard about spending $10k on any sp...

Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player......
Just to show you that I'm teachable: I love my Prima, but indeed, digital has come a long way in the past three years, and I certainly realize that the Prima, while amazing in the $3k price range is not the end all. It's always been the source, IM... 
Thiel 1.5s or Martin Logan Scenario
Leslie, I'm curious as to what you're asking? (BTW, I used to own the 1.5s.) You own the 1.5s, know them intimately with all kinds of music, and you're still not sure? I loved my Thiels, but they were weak in two areas, for me. The bottom end of c... 
The Past 5 years
Digital advances, especially in the very hi end cd players, seem to be closing the gap between analog and digital. Playing cds are getting closer to sounding like vinyl. Not there, of course, but the gap ain't no Grand Canyon anymore...
