| Advice Nice system. My advice would be to try a new DAC, the Cambridge is good but there are certainly better.Many of which you can try risk free in your home. | |
| CD player with Tube Output or Music Server I've owned several VERY ($10k+) high end CD/SACD players and recently experimented with a server/DAC setup and I was stunned at how subtle/non-existant the SQ difference was between the two.The choice comes down to what you like. I personally miss... | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k Personally, I have no problem with ARC releasing new Reference products whenever they like.Automakers release new/updated products every year..

| Where to invest I agree completely with Samhar. | |
| Macintosh MC452 or Mark Levinson 532H I've also owned the Cary SLP-05 and agree that it is an outstanding preamp. I did miss the bottom end grunt of solid state however, and the lack of remote functions was also a major issue for me.I would happily recommend the SLP-05 to anyone, but ... | |

| Macintosh MC452 or Mark Levinson 532H I use a 326s with a pair of Parasound JC1's and it's a fantastic combination. Be sure to give them a listen if you consider straying from a full Levinson rig.In response to DTC, I found that the 532 is quite a bit different from the 432. I agree w... | |

| Micromega My DAC to improve sound of Rega Apollo I can't comment on your Rega as I've never heard it, but the MyDAC is very good. easily besting my Esoteric DV-50.For the money, I find it hard to beat. | |
| Accuphase E-460 or Bryston BP26 / 4Bsst2 I would also go for the Accuphase if I were in your shoes. Make sure you listen to everything before spending your hard saved cash. | |
| Micromega MyDac and Windows XP I'm a MyDAC user too (MAC) and am very impressed with the quality of the music it produces. I've listened to several budget minded DAC's and found the MyDAC to be the most listenable of all of them.Speaking of Linn, I use to own an all Linn aktiv ... | |
| New amps for Classe Wilson system Stick with what you know and love IMO. The JC1s are the one part of my system that I do not consider changing, they are fantastic amps. | |
