powercord for nagra CDP
Kk, With such a fine CDP such as you have I would suggest to check out the offerings from Locus Design. I own 2 different PC from them and they are very netural as well as being outstanding performers. Contact Lee and ask him some questions he's v... 
Anyone use CD tweaks
ditto with the disc damper but I use the Marigo Reference and yes it does make a difference. I also just started to use Ultrabit and for sure it does make an almost jaw dropping difference. It is a bit expensive ($65/bottle) direct from Manufactur... 
Which CD would you recommend?
Eee3, money is the major consideration otherwise I'd be going that route if I could. I'm a Red book listener only as well and will be keeping my 2 channel system, but with the sale at Music Direct, both these look very inviting.

Ultrabit Disc treatment
Ozzy & Atrhursmuck, I'm still doing (some more) research on Ultrabit but, I took the time to review the systems that you are using to help me compare some of my differences and let me say WOW!!!! I've got what I call a compact but nicely revei... 
Ultrabit Disc treatment
Ozzy, A couple of different questions for you to still further help in my questioning; Did you also have to use the disc cleaner prior to using the UltraBit?Also my musical tastes are in soft rock(some harder), blues and jazz, if using UltraBit wo... 
integrated or seperates?
tubes would be great but... heat is a factor for me in the smaller room I have ans well as the upkeep for tubes. Sorry but I am more comfortable with Solid State as I listen to soft rock, blues and some jazz. 
More power or better quality power?
As many have already said that the synergy between componets is VERY important. It your case you also have a relitively large room which can also play acoustical tricks on you. I agree with Dwhitt & atmasphere that try some placement changing ... 
AR/Aragon Has anyone used this combo?
Thanks to both, I had tried an LS3 with my 2004 a couple years ago and had a problem "popping" the speakers no matter what I tried. I have been thinking of trying to go that way again but have had a lot of reservations damaging my Apogee's. This m...

Apogee & Tubes
Thanks both for your replies, I was considering the Audio Research CA- 50 tubed integrtated as a replacement to my Classe CAP 151. But my worry has been that that AR would have enough reserves and all to safely handle my listening needs or if it w... 
Review: Grover Huffman Silver Ribbons Speaker cable
I've been lstening to Grover's Silver Ribbons for some time now and I have to apologize for saying that the price was high becuse it IS NOT. The price for my runs in bi-wire were very VERY reasonable and have presented neutrality and detail for me...
