System edited: Have gone computer audio. MacMini with outboard hard drive, usb into DAC and running Pure Music with Itunes (Applelossless with error correction on when ripping). Use Itouch with Apple remote app.

Jeff,
thanks for the comment. Haven't decided on a dac...using macmini applelossless format.....the Almarro SET tube amp will have to mesh with any dac.

System edited: changed out Martin Logan SL-3's after nine years...new speakers are easily as fast but have tremendous ability to play micro and macro dynamics with very deep, tight and fast bass...smaller in size too! Drivers are very coherent.
