Thanks for ALL your Responses. Still have not made up my mind yet. I am considering transferring my CD and vinyl collection to a music server anddownloading hi rez music on to my Mac. Still green on how to do all of that.I spoke to John Ruttan fro... 
Yes,another DAC question
Tubegroover,I totally agree with you about auditioning the components I mentioned. I did that with my cables via (the cable co.) I invested quite a bit of money in my system so far and was just looking for members opinions and thoughts on higher p...

Sonrock, do you remember whick Kimber Kable SC you previously owned and could you give me assessment on them if you will. I am thinking about upgrading my Acoustic Zen Satori's. Thanks 
Favorite Pre Amp and Amp with Vandersteen?
I have the XP-10 pre and the X250.5 amp from Pass Labs with my Vandersteen 5A's. For my ears, an awesome combo. 
Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches
Where does Pass Labs amps compare to all the other amps mentioned. I use the X250.5 with the 5A's and I'm very pleased with the sound. Especially the Bass. Thanks 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
My transport is a TRIODE TRV-CD4SE tube CD player feeding thru the new REGA DAC. Still love the vinyl sound but this combo is very close. 
Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ?
Either "Audes Blues" or their top of the line "Orpheus". I owned the BLUES for about five years and loved them. Also listened to the Orpheus speakers and was very impressed. Audes is located in Lithonia, Russia. 
mixing and matching.....
I've ended up going with one company's cables. I tryed about 8 to 10 different brands of IC's, PC's and speaker cables and found Acoustic Zen's cabling to sound the best in MY SYSTEM. For me, searching and trying different cables are over. 
Vinyl on the Radio
If you live in the NY/NJ area, CBS 101.1 has what they call,"Turntable Tuesday". They play 45's all day and night. I love it. 
Which component upgrade will produce more BASS?
In the past couple days I've been playing around with speakers location in my room. I have to leave them on the short wall,but with moving the woofers a little closer to the long wall(about 3or 4 inches) and turning them inward seemed to help a li... 
Project TUrntable: Isolation suggestions.....
My turntable sits on a Target wall mount shelf. Instead of the thin wood shelf that comes with it, I use a thick maplewood platform. You can purchase one used here on Audiogon for around $110. That should take care of the skipping problem. 
Which component upgrade will produce more BASS?
I just wanted to thank everyone for their input. To start I'll first work on placement of the Blues. If that doesn't help a subwoofer would definitely be considered. Onhwy61 wanted to know the placement of my equipment. On the 10ft.wall centered i... 
Which TT will take me to the next level
Just wanted to say thanks for ALL OF YOUR SUGGESTIONS. Thats why I love this site. With that said, can a $1000 to $2000 TT/arm combo alone really make that much of a difference in overall sound compared to the Denon. I can see a more expensive car...
