Cables for Hales, Classe, & Wadia
Hales have Cardas internal wireing so Cardas is what I'm using and I am quite happy. 
Integrated amp for Grand Piano
It's not the amp; You can describe Classe any way you want but "laidback". The Grand Pianos are very non dynamic speakers, excellent on vocal jazz and symphonic music but you'll never get them to sound good on rock musick regardless the electronic... 
Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland
I had a 334 in a complete Levinson line: 390 380s 334. Well...334 was replacing a Classe 200 and was I in for a big disappointment. At first I blamed the speakers then the cables but two months later I realized I have nothig left to blame so I sol... 
Has anyone hooked satellite radio to their system?

Help with an Amp in the 1500 ballpark used
I don't know about BC 22 and DNA-225, but I do know quite well the rest of them. Hard to decide between 4BST and A3CR.Sim Audio may be a decent compromise... 
Mark Levinson No.383 How good is it ?
I must remind you that Mercedes 600 is a 600 cc small car, very popular in Europe. If this is the object of your comparison I have to agree. As a Levinson ex owner I must say that I was never happy with the sound produced at first by a 390 383 com...
