Need help with preamp purchase
The Rowland Synergy IIi may also be a consideration if you want balanced as well as no tubes. I have heard high praise of the Placette preamps also mentioned above.I personally use the First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II with my H20 Sig monos, but t... 
Ultimate Amplifier for the next 20 Years
Paul,You mention the NuForce. Srajan at 6moons has made some comments in comparison of the Nuforce as well as other ICE based amps, and the only ICE based amp he thought standed above the rest of the crowd was the pair of H20 Signature Monos he re... 
Fun trying new power conditioners-long
I have owned the BPT 3.5 Signature, and now own the 3.5 Signature Plus. This balanced power conditioner seems to just do it all "right". I must admit, I have gone back to running my monoblocks through the BPT rather than their own dedicated 20A ci...

Sean34,I am sure you can find good sounding interconnects for under or near $150... I think I saw some of the Audience AU24 for around $200 for a 1m pair of interconnects.I have auditioned this cable and it was very supprised at how well it perfor...

That was the other thought... what cabling/interconnects are you using? Audience AU24 is very good at a very reasonable price.I have been told Meadowlarks are not a good match with silver cabling as well. 
Meadowlark K2s
I will have to respectfully disagree with Unsound about the use of spikes dependent upon the floor boards. In my experience it has always improved imaging as well as bass tightness and control to have even the poorest of dealer provided spikes, ov...

Jolida JD-100 one box cd player. Very musical and you can find them used for around $700 or less. You will most likely either end up keeping it, or being able to resell it for close to what you paid for it.

Are the speakers fully broken in yet? I know the K2's can be a bit hot on the top end until they get many hours on them... 
tonearm cable for Spacedeck w/Spacearm?
Do you have a Spacedeck w/ SpaceArm? I ask, as it comes with the tonearm cable that goes to the preamp. I am not certain if you were asking about a replacement phono cable or perhaps a set of interconnects? 
Meadowlark K2s
At least use the junk spikes provided with the speakers. You will be able to get a noticable sonic improvement with "Audio Points" in place of the "stock" spikes. Check the bottom of the K2's, as I am only familiar with the bottom of the ones I ha... 
Class D Amp For 'Stats?
Curriemt11,I have owned many amps similar or perhaps parallel to what your tastes may be. I have owned McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe, Quicksilver V4 monos, auditioned the Ayre, as well as the Rogue Zeus. I now own the H20 Signature Monoblocks. Srajan's r... 
EMC-1UP SE interconnect?
I have owned the EMC-1UP SE, however ran it with single ended interconnects. I used Synergistic Research Resolution Reference that excelled in soundstaging and dynamics, which complimented the "analog/warmer" sound of the EMC in my opinion. I too ...

Noticed the Patriot Act's effects on PayPal?
I would verify what you were informed is correct. I just sold some items which ended up in a transfer to my bank account of approx $1,700.00. Other than the 4 DAYS it took to fund to the bank account from when PayPal stated the transfer was comple... 
What should be on my short list...
From the preferences and gear you listed I think you would want to look into the Audio Aero Capitole Mark II SE, or their new Capitole Reference (includes the SE upgrade as well as other changes). The Reimyo is also a very nice red book cd player....
