Whats your current Reference CD at the moment?
Kate McGarry - 'Mercy Streets' (Great vocals)Hope Waits - 'Hope Waits' (Blues with an edge...great sonics)Clifford Jordan - 'Live at Ethell's' (As good as a "you are there" recording as you'll likely to find) 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Rickie Lee Jones 'Comin Back To Me' from the Pop Pop album. 
Oscar Peterson
I second "Live at the Blue Note". And nothing stinks about hearing everything going on in the club, IMHO. This disc is VERY well recorded, one of my favs. 
Which music server to buy?
I am VERY happy with my Music Vault. Have had no problems at all with it, and when paired with my Modwright Transporter, the music it makes is simply gorgeous. My GNSC 861se went on the market shortly after the purchase. 
ARC 210's w/BAT VK52SE vs ASR Emitter Exclusive II
^^^ what he said.You have wonderful gear, but judging by your system pics, you're not realizing the potential of your transporter. Roll a pair of 6H30-DR's and a 50's metal-based GZ34 in there and watch your jaw drop. Deal with the heat I say. Hel... 
Best Diana Krall album...........is???
Live in Paris 
What is the one CD you can't find?
Monty Alexander - Reunion in EuropeI believe I once saw this years ago on CD, didn't buy it then, now I cannot find it ANYWHERE! Have it on vinyl, but I no longer have my analog rig, so if anyone has some info on the CD, I'd be grateful. 
I need some advice on High End Car Audio...
For the same reason your home rig will most likely only sound as good as your room will allow, so it goes with the install in a car. As someone who has competed at the highest level in this hobby, and currently owns one the most successful vehicle... 
Celebrity Audiophiles? Do you guys know of any?
Clint is indeed serious about his music. I know for a fact he has a Rockport TT. Not sure about the rest of his rig, but with that front end....you can imagine. 
mixing and matching.....
I run Tel Wire, Lessloss, and Cardas GR power cords, and Nordost Heimdall & Cardas GR IC's....and am very happy with the combo. If I may say so, the Tel Wire's are recent additions, and I am VERY impressed with them. A real winner of a cord to... 
CDP's being dumped for hard drive driven units?
Bailed out of a Wadia 861se GNSC statement for a MusicVault/Modwright Transporter combo....and never have looked back for one moment. 
Help w/Power Conditioning: Shunyata, Furman, RGPC?
I just inserted an Acoustic Revive RTP-2 into my system, and I have to tell you....I am flabbergasted at the results. Best conditioner I have run, by far. Previous units have included Hydra 4, RS Haley, Audience Adept AR6, and the short-term loan ... 
Anyone optimized their ModWright Transporter yet?
I'm running 6H30-DR Supertubes as my two signal tubes, and a 1955 Mullard metal-base GZ34 as my rectifier.A knockout combo to be sure! 
I just don't get PC Audio
Bar81 asked..."Were you running direct? My guess is yes and SS amps."My Wadia was running into an ARC Ref3, and that into an Atma-sphere M60 mk3. Modwright is now doing the same. I have never heard a Solid State amp that I could ever live with lon... 
I just don't get PC Audio
I recently sold my GNSC Wadia 861se because I preferred the sonic presentation from my NAS Music Vault & Modwright Transporter. I am all about the sound, and if it didn't cut the mustard sonically, I wouldn't care how convenient it is, I would...
