Is an IPOD hi-fi?
It all depends on what type of quality you do your recordings! However I dont believe that an "Ipod" is considered a HIGH END audiophile gear. But if sounds good to whoever uses it then I am happy for them... 
Best Chicago area HIFI shop?
Promusica is ok however they are BIG on Naim audio components, too big actually. They play down other good brands such as Rega, Cambridge, Tube gear etc etc etc however they swear that solid state is far better sounding than tubes, I beg to differ... 
Speltz Anti Cables
Are these cables really that inexpensive and perform this well? Any retailer out there that sells them or what website? 
Entry level amp?
Portal Pananche is a solid state isnt she? I want tube! Hmmm yummmie I LOVE TUBES! 
Entry level amp?
Well, I prefer Tube system not SS. I love tubes and I wouldnt go back to solid state, just my taste. My budget is at around 1K for the amp.
