components in your system

Mes: Not a problem, I am a big TH's fan starting from 1976 and used to have the "Big Suit" on vidio. It was TH's and Television at the time. I also used to look a lot like Byrne when I was younger and 25 lbs lighter and was once mobbed by a crowd at the opening of one of their movies in Westood CA. It was a very scary experience.

I've got to agree with the software response as most important, but of components, I'd go with Levinson DAC 360S. It was the best upgrade I've ever made-- dynamic, detailed, natural, lifelike etc. Cheers. Craig

Sorry, forgot to mention my own. I have a Pioneer tuner, model TX-9100, that I can't replace without spending megabucks and only for a small measure of increased performance. My Apogee Duettas are in the same boat, I've found better but can't justify replacing them for the small increase in performance. Good thread so far, thanks for the responce! I'm starting to like this place!

Yes, a good tuner makes sense as well. I feel like I am losing on "Family Feud" at this point as I haven't thought of any of the logical choices on my own.

195 year old woodie, good one... still laughing.
