DAC suggestion Please
I would check out the RME ADI2-DAC. Also doubles as an excellent head phone amp. 
Whats playing on your system today?
Lp just arrived yesterday: Cigarettes After Sex. A mellow laid back album. 
Help me spec n class A AMP, power calculation 85dB @ 1W @ 1metre
I would look for a Threshold T-200. 100 wpc Class A. A great space heater. I have a pair of T-50's that I purchased of a former Threshold employee. They were modified at Threshold to run as 100 wpc mono blocks. Michael Bladalius did the modificati... 
Best phone preamp for around $500?
The Lounge Audio LCR MKIII at $300. Can't find a better phono in your price range. 
Preamp break-in
I had a CJ ET3-SE and it took about 200 hours to break in the teflon caps. Have fun w/your CJ. 
Warm up Turntable
All this works on vinyls but will it work on records???? 
Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised
My dealer carries the Klipsch Heritage series in his store. W/the Forte III he likes to partner w/a Prima Luna Integrated. Sounds fantastic. But on slow day when I was there he fooled around w/some amps to match up w/the Forte. From his home he br... 
EAT C-Sharp Turntable anyone owned or demoed it??
That's an excellent price. Some of these TT companies charge $300 on up for a cover.

By the way if you have questions about the RME they have an online Forum. A lot of info to help you use your DAC to the fullest. Amazing what you can do.

I've had this little "bugger" for about a month and I'm really enjoying it. Dead quiet background w/excellent detail. You get the real metal sound w/cymbals and triangles. Piano is very detailed . Snare drums and drum sticks very realistic. None o... 
Might try a tube preamp
I'm a fan boy the Luxman CL38U-SE. W/all tube phono. The phono has 4 step up transformers 2 for MC High and 2 for MC low. Mono switch, tone controls and tape loop. Art Dudley gave it a Class A rating in Stereophile. He ran it against his Shindo. O...

Go to Audio science Review and Search: Review and measurements of RME ADI 2 DAC. Review and Measurements of Schiit Yggdrasil V2 DAC. At the end of conclusions on the Schiit review he will give an opinion of both.

All I can say the RME is excellent for rock and pop music. There are 5 filters to choose from. Sharp, Short Delay Sharp, Short Delay Slow, Slow and NOS (Non Oversampling). If you want to rock out I suggest the first two options. The RME is a very ... 
Krell iBias or Mark Levinson 533/535H series amplifiers with Aerial Acoustics Speakers?
Years ago my dealer had a pair of Levinson Mono's w/a Levinson preamp and a Wadia CD player. Speakers were Aerial 10 T's. The music was Shirley Horn. To this day I can't forget how good the music was.
