"God Bless the Child" on Idol?
Edorr, his emotional stability issues as you state would be a deterrent in a pro career, well that's what a high functioning autistic individual has been hearing his whole life so you fit in with most unfortunately.You may not like his vocals but ... 
Most expensive Audio disapoinment?
top shelf wire, for me Kimber 3035, Kimber 1030, MIT oracle V3 SC, MIT Magnum M1 IC's and M2 SC 
Kimber Select 3033 versus 3035 and 3038
I lived with 3035 for 2 years and could never warm up to them. Programmer is right, there are so many great choices for cables at all more reasonable price points.

Right Tubegroover, we knew there was a problem when they had James sing a hillbilly duet with Scotty at the beginning of the show.

Speaker cables for Dynaudio C1
Wow I don't find the diablo's cloudy at all! In my system they are remarkably clear and clean. So far they are the best sub 1K SC I have had in my system.

Slaw - well said, I completely agree 
MIT cables vs. Synergistic Research cables?
Wig, I will be very curious to hear your take in your system because I agree with your statement above. I own and have owned many variants of both IC's and speaker cables for years and I just don't quite get what Dave hears. Although, I have no ex... 
Is it wrong?
What's not wrong is having fine bourbon whiskey like Knob Creek! 
$20k top, full range speakers?
Eggleston Works Andra II, full range, midrange to die for, dynaudio esotar tweeter and a world class enclosure. 
Amp for Thiel 3.7s
Mac 501's are excellent for the price especially. I think you have to spend alot more to get better sound. I've used them for several years with Thiel 3.6 
Kef 205/2
I can't necessarily agree with Thesoundhouse claiming your 501's are speaker dependent. I have a pair and have owned Thiel 3.6 and Eggleston Andra II's and the bass has been plentiful and balanced. I have heard them in Brick and Mortar salons with... 
Tube pre-amp upgrade from Mcintosh C2300
Yxlei, I'm with you - I am tired of changing cables too - I am so done with that. Good luck with your decision on a new preamp, I am about 1 year behind you.
