Bryston or Levinson for Revel F52
not sure how useful this will be because i'm yet to hear the 14B SST2 but.....put Bryston (4BSST) in the mix a couple of years ago when i was looking for a new amp. tried Krell, Bel Canto, Levinson and a few others.ended up with a Levinson 432....... 
Fidelizer
Dtc...from what i understand, Fidelizer uninstalls itself at every boot. the program must be reloaded/reinstalled every time you restart. once installed and run, i don't think you can "turn it off"?. reboot required to do that which again, is an u... 
Fidelizer
i created a shortcut on my desktop. click it and the install/settings window opens up. takes 5-10 seconds to install on my i5-3.4 pc 
Fidelizer
truly remarkable!....had grown use to hearing a microskip every once in a while (approx once every hour or so). not enough to drive me crazy but often enough to wish it would stop. have not heard a microskip since installing fidelizer two days ago...

What can I do to improve my computer?
thanks for the heads up Phusis/Steve!. just downloaded Fildelizer and will give it a go. sounds pretty promising!.odd how you need to reload it every boot. i only reboot once a week and will need to remember it's gone. however... a free app to dem...

Speaker cables or interconnects??

PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2
Mr Tennis is spot on imho. I'd go one step further and specify/consider connection type and cabling. Sgr put it perfectly a few years ago when he said the pwd was " cameilian like"......or sensitive to its surroundings. I found the pwd responded t... 
Cambridge Audio 840C player still a good buy ?
Just listened to one at a friends house last week and though it sounded good (nad and b&w supporting cast). When he told me what he picked it up for used.......I thought it sounded fantastic !I'd call it an outstanding value on a good player 
What is the best sounding DAC at $2000-$4000?
That's all that matters in the end. Going with what *you* like best is always the smartest move imho. Enjoy the new gear! 
Software Flaw In New Velodyne Subs?
being a current dd12 owner, glad i didn't wait for the plus line release. i use my mains full range and only let the sub do some "back fill". a little added punch is all i was looking for and this set up does exactly that. from what it sounds like... 
pre-amp vs dac straight to amps
i really wanted to go without a pre and tried hard to make sense of it. in the end....i couldn't. my system sounded better with a well matched pre.it also sounded worse with a not so well matched pre (i tried a few).no way around trying it for you... 
What is the best sounding DAC at $2000-$4000?
another vote for PSA's PWDII. it's the best sounding dac i've ever heard at any price (although i've never auditioned a dac above 10k USD so grain of salt might be required here).this months review in absolute sound also gave it a thumbs up, even ...
