Castle speakers IAG
I have the latest Howard S3 and they are simply the best speaker in their price range. They (by a large margin) bettered Tyler, Dynaudio and Usher speakers, some costing twice as much. Moving to IAG doesn't seem to affect the quality, mine has the... 
Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker?
Castle Howard S3! It killed similarly priced Usher and Tyler speakers and offered the grace of typical British sound. 
Anybody heard Stereoknight magnetic preamp?
I've heard it and it's superb, beats my Accuphase C-265 hands down.

Benchmark DAC-1!

PS Audio versus Musical Fidelity amp/preamp???????

Whats better then PS Audio P300? ? ? ? ?
Power conditioner is highly system dependent, so you really have to try several before you find the best for you. Individual component favors one power conditioner over the other. For example, PS audio P-300 does a magic job for Accuphase E-306V, ... 
upsampling
Upsampling does not increase the information but uses mathmatical algorithm to push digital noise out of audible band. The result is higher accuracy in DAC, and the cost is additional digital filters.First of all, if you lose signal at transport s...
