GMA Europa owners....

Eric,
Thanks, thats good info. Upgrading to AM IC's is at the top of my upgrade list, but the Sorcerer's are just not in the budget. I'll definitely look into the Excaliber II's.

Freaky,
As far as integrateds go, Roy highly recommended the Blue Circle offering. As far as SS gear goes he prefers Blue Circle and Edge (big $$) from what he has told me. But on the budget side of integrateds he said that some late 70's Onkyo and Harmon Kardon products were surprisingly good.

As for my cables, I use the Ridge Street Midnight Silver Ed. II's with the Europa's. SC, IC's and digital , all Ridge. Brings out beautiful details and a nice balanced sound. Amp and preamp : Krell KSA-100 mkII and Audio Research SP-9 mkII.Before getting RSA cables, I used Zu Wax SC's with Zu Warmouth IC's.Before them , AudioQuest cables. Best so far has been the Ridge Street's, and they work well with my other speakers I have here, Mirage M-3's and Von Schweikert's VR-1's. Worth checking them out-got me dance'in !!!! ( and that's no B/S !!)

I just replaced my Signal IC's with Audio Magic Excalibur 11 IC's. Far more transparent high end, better staging and more depth. Simply a huge improvement.
They work great with the Europas.

I went from Transparent Music Link Plus ICs to Acoustic Zen Silver Ref and really like the change. Gotta point out the Zens are much more expensive and I am not a huge fan of Transparent; way too expensive for what you get IMO. Buy used if you go with Transparent.

I'm using Analysis Plus Oval 9 wire and have always liked them. I very rarely feel the highs can be a tad bright, but am waiting on my Cardas Neutral Ref ICs to use between my pre and amp (replace the Zens) since I have heard a lot of people say using copper rather than silver may tame the rare bright spots. I needed ICs for 2-CH SACD anyway.

Abbeydog,
Good to hear from you on this, if I remember correctly we have a very similar system other than CDP. I have had good luck with a relatively inexpensive SACD player, the sony 222es. I'm really wanting to try Excaliber II's with it and the 370, seems like that may be a really good combo for the $$.
