What is the current SRP of TW Acustic's Raven One now? Thanks! 
Is Supratek Chenin a good match for BAT-75SE?
"Brighter" does not mean it is bright. It just means it is less warm than the other gear. So Brighter can still be a warm sounding pre-amp. I have heard the BAT Vk-31 and Vk-31SE, and they are not bright at all. Good luck :) 
Cartridge Under $2K for Interspace Arm/Deck
Dynavector XX2 Mk2!! Although I have heard it on a Spacedeck/Spacearm combo. 
Sonos VS CD Transport
The Z80 has a digital out so you can use it with your DAC. 
Bias for Jadis DA-8
Hi Arkprof,Thanks for the help. Best Regards. 
anyone have an opinion on the dali helicon 400
The 400s and 800s are too big for your room. These speakers need a little bit of breathing room to shine. 
CAT SL-1 MK III vs. First Sound Presence DeLuxe
The stock tubes are not sweet. If you want a touch of sweetness, tube roll to something like amperex. Cheers. 
Dynavector 17D2MKII vs. XX-2
I've compared the two using Nottingham Spacedeck and Spacearm. The xx-2 is better overall. More refined, detailed, warmer and sweeter. The 17d2 seems to be faster.Good luck :)

Bombay, I never said anything about an impedance mismatch :-) 
Hyperion 938 question
IMO, 55 watts should be enough. The 938s are easy to drive. Although i'd rather partner them with tubes. These are very neutral speakers and will just let the tube magic thru. Good luck. 
BAT's house sound
I'm looking at their new VK-55. Needless to say, the VK-75 is also interesting but it is over my budget. Speakers are Hyperions. BTW, a friend said their amps are a touch warm but lean? THis friend owns a CJ premier 11a. Any comments?Thanks again. 
What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps?

Thanks guys for all your help. Cheers. 
What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps?
Just an opinion, please don't get me wrong. Given the level of your pre-amp and other equipment, i think you need better cables. Perhaps the brightness and edginess you're hearing are caused by the lack of linearity of the above cables. Just a sug...
