Meridian 508.24...sound compared to newer players
Thanks for you both sharing your upgrade path from the Meridian 508. I tried a few $2k players from the local hifi shop and none of them sounded overall better than my 508 :) 
Well maybe it IS my hearing

Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ???
Parasound JC2 BP sounds great in my system driving a Plinius SA 100 MKII (updated by Vince Galbo), Modwright UDP-205 Oppo with upgraded tubes x3, and Bob Crump power cords on all equipment. Cables are mixed and matched.  
SR UEF Blue Power cables
Great thread, as I am considering upgrading my pc’s too. I have the older SR AC Master Coupler pc and didn’t notice much of a difference from other $200-$500 pc’s. I hope the SR Blue is better than AC Master Coupler—any experience from you guys?

Primaluna DiaLogue Premium preamp
Great thread. I’m think of buying the Dialogue PreAmp. Good information here. Many users with 2+ years on their Preamps want to tell us their experience over time? Tube rolling? Etc.
