Audiolabyrinth,

I'm glad I was able to help out. From reading all your posts, I know how much it means to you. After all, what in life could possibly be more important than having a good sounding CD player? Maybe Tara cables and a working kidney. But that's as far as I'll go.

Audiolabrynth will certainly never need it, but for sake of argument, he'd insist the Docs power the Dialysis machine with his Tara Cobalt :)

Hi Audiolabyrinth,
At first, I found you a bit annoying, then I found you a bit hilarious, then I found you to be, like myself, a bona fide audio nutcase. And there is no cure for that for the both of us.
And because we share this last trait, I would like to offer my most humble suggestion to alleviate your conundrum.
You already have a fantastic Krell power amp. So, why not go all Krell to optimise the CAST connection? Buy a Krell Cipher CD/SACD player new($10k list, if I am not mistaken) but get a used Krell pre-amp to go with your power amp. Sell your super expensive Tara IC to be replaced with CAST cables that won't cost an arm and a leg. You should be in sonic nirvana with this all Krell-and-CAST setup.
Cheers!
