CD players = dead?

What have I missed in the last 12 years?
Thats a pretty good system even today.  I had a C15,  nice pre and one of those items I wish I'd had kept....  I would start with new source components.  Maybe a good DAC and a universal player that can use a streaming stick and access media on yo... 
Stay away from the nad
I have had a number of NAD products, amps, preamp, tape deck, receiver and none had ever failed.   A few years ago I bought a M51 DAC and it took a dump during a firmware update after only three weeks of use.  Was it my fault? Bad firmware? Bad ha... 
What are the more subtle sounding tube preamps?
I should have noted my unit is a 2SE

I have to disagree that the Classic 2 is dark.....its well balanced and very lifelike and dynamic in my system....  its anything but dark. The only downside is that it has no remote, in terms of sound quality it is a sleeper and should be audition...

Great guys at Spearit.....I have purchased a number of components from them over the years and they always treated me right....I purchased my c-j Classic 2 SE from them, and while I didn't take them up on a home demo, they had their demo in a seri... 
If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it?
I've never seen any reason to bi amp....   but i have wondered if the impedance changes because you are driving terminals that are normally tied in parallel with a jumper .  I think using different amps for each section is a recipe for disaster...... 
Supporting Amp/Preamp for Klipsch KLF 20's ?
HiI would suggest reconnecting the speaker wires, paying close attention to make sure no strands of wire are touching across speaker and amp binding posts....then try a different pair of RCA cables between the preamp outputs and amp inputs....if t... 
Primaluna dialogue premium HP tube rolling suggestions to reduce brightness
My amps respond well to changing the input tubes.....a lot of guitar amp guys say the same thing....best thing with a prima luna is to call Upscale they are the distributor    
What would be an upgrade over the NAD M51 Direct Digital D/A Converter?
Of course every component may not mesh with you gear, but that is a tough dac to beat.....prepare to spend $$$I use one for and number of sources and it sounds pretty good given its price....
