Which LS3/5a?
timstella & eddiechanghk, Thank you both for your informative replies.   It sounds like tubes are the way to drive these monitors.   I have read about the Kingswood Warren Edition  and its quite unanimous that their owners all believe it's th...

Ozzy I don't see the Luminscate speaker cable on their website could you give me a ballpark price for a 8ft run?  
Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000
I have a really sweet sounding Deja Vu tube preamp that would fit the bill.   It also has a first class MC phone section.  Anyone interested I am ready to deal!    
A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
Great video on the Audiolab.  It would be great if someine has compared the 6000t with the pro-ject.  
Bricasti M3 In the house
The Bricasti M3 is in my budget but I will use the the DAC with a transport for playing CD's only.  No streaming!  Just CD play back.   Are there any other Dacs in the $5k - $6k range I should be looking at?  Yes I will contact Mike when I am ready.

After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?
I have now had the Boulder 866 in my system for two days and I am really enjoying it.   If your budget can stretch o the Boulder it could be your last integrated.   
After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?
I got rid of my separates recently and I am using a Sam Kim Heathkit 151 integrated.   He used only the chassis and transformers from the 151 and hand built each circuit to his own specs.  Includes a outstanding MC phono section and killer linesta... 
A revealing speaker
Tony makes very musical speakers.  A few years ago I was looking at Tony to  building me a nice floorstander but at the last moment we had a death in the family and my desire for some new speakers disappeared.  I hope Tony is doing well and perhap... 
Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy
Take a look at the Linear Tube Audio 50 wattamp.  Very eady to move and sounds like music.  
Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)?
Most of these high priced brands are catering to a different clientele than your average audio buyer.  If you buy their DAC maybe the matching transport is a easy add on.  Is the quality and sound better?  It's only money and some have more than o...
