Transcendent tn8 vs. atmasphere s 30
HiIm currently using the S30/decapo combo. I think you will find the S30 very capable in driving the the Decapos without the need for zeros or going for the the M60s.I have not heard the T8 but Vtvu gave a pretty concise comparison of the two. Tra... 
Experience with Thiel 1.6
You can read the review in the latest Absolute Sound magazine. They loved it.

cd player transport/laser assembly squeak/squeals
TimI had the same problem with my old Sony 608ES CD player.The squealing sound stopped when i tried a CD mat such as Aurex. It must have something to do with keeping the CD level while spinning. 
Atma-Sphere S30 MKII
Hi JohnnyYou may be looking at the last amp you will buy in a long time, at least thats how I feel.I have my S30 paired with Reference 3a Decapos at the moment. Prior, I had Soliloquy 5.3s. Both very compatible with the S30. You may also consider ... 
Attention Conrad Johnson Premier 11A owners
hiI used a pair of Thiel 1.5s when I had my CJ11a. The CJ seemed to smooth out the Thiels. A real nice combo. The Thiel1.6 is out now and from what I understand easier to drive.I also had a pair of martin logan Aerius with the CJ. Bass was kind of...

Its a shame that they chose Mothers Day weekend to hold the show. Im sure most people chose Saturday to see the show because of it which would explain the crowds. Sunday would be the the day to go but explain that to your mother or wife :) 
Opinions of Reference 3A speakers
I own a pair of the Decapos. Reminds me of a pair of Martin Logan CLS that I once owned. Im sure the crossoverless design has much to do with it.The Refs 3a, due to their efficient design, will let you explore the wonderful worlds of OTL, SE or an... 
Recomended speaker cable - Soliloquy 5.3
Biwire with Analysis Plus cables. AP cables are also recommended by Soliloquy. 
Cables for Cary SLI80 and Soliloquy 5.0
I understand soliloquy recommends Analysis Plus for their speakers. I was very happy the the Oval 9s when i had a pair of 5.3s 
Aurex CD mat
I cant say I heard any improvemnet with the mat but what it did do was help prolong the use of my old Sony 608ES CD player which i use as a transport. The old workhorse began to skip regularly until I began using the mat. Why? 
Upgrading from Sols 5.3s--Sonatina maybe
Msnloeth My 5.3s seem to be just a bit small for my room. I also think Sols are a great speaker. Im looking into the 6.3s as well as the 6.2s which seems to be made for OTL due to their high impedence-12ohm as opposed to the 5.3/6.3 8 ohm. 
I would like to hear from ex-Linnophiles
Musickdok aka John I had no intentions to Linn bash. Im actually interested in the Majic as well as the Tukans. Peace
