PV-10, PV-11, PV-12, SFL-1 Sig or LS2? Help
Thanks for the information so far. I'm beginning to lean toward the Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 Signature. I've owned the SFL-1 with a Mullard tube and it was pretty nice. If the "Signature" upgrade is an appreciable improvement, then it should sound pr... 
Sellers Who "Didn't Know" or the Convenient Excuse
Just as bad is the seller who leaves out some important tid-bit about the equipment. For example the heavy (not sure if HE was heavy, but his habit sure was) cigar smoker who sold me his Magnepan MG 1.6/QRs. Like it never occurred to him that some... 
Digital Dilemma
Thanks Mrderrick. I saw that too, but decided that since the DAC is coming along with a Harmonic Technology digital cable, I'd try the adapter before spending even more $$$.Thanks,Dan 
Used DAC or Used CD Player???
Thanks RGD. I finally found the website yesterday (I should have just read your post). Looks like a HECK of a product for an unbelievable price! I finally took the plunge and bought an MSB Link DAC III (with TONS of upgrades) that was posted here ...

Is there a website for the channel island gear??? 
Used DAC or Used CD Player???
Must've been a Planet 2000, 'cuz the Planet doesn't have digital outs. 
Would I be a happy boy with an ARC CA-50?
Great advice Maxgain. 
where does one buy leadshots for loading spkrs?
Find a shooting range or gun store in your area. The shot comes in various sizes. I would get the smallest (more dense) that they have. It usually comes in a 25lb bag and is not cheap. You'll be surprised at just how small a 25lb bag is!The Arros ... 
Small Room, Move Often, Speaker Suggestions.
Dave...Cheap women'll getcha' every time! Save your pennies for the right one. Just make sure there's full disclosure about the nature of your disease (audiophilia-expensivitis) before making any significant commitments.I've not heard the Khites o... 
Small Room, Move Often, Speaker Suggestions.
More info would be helpful.What's your source?What are your musical tastes?Will this be a music-only setup?What is your budget? There's a pretty big price difference between the Khites and the S3/5s 
1000 budget for speakers and integrated - HELP
The best of the speaker bunch that you list is definitely the Kestral...especially based on your taste in music.I would second (or third) the NAD recommendation. If you shop VERY carefully, you can probably buy both for under $1K - presuming that ...
