Does a new cd transport require break-in time?
Huh?? 
Persona 3f vs B&W 802D2s
With speakers it's very subjective so you should try to audition above all. Barring that I would say that the previous poster james_w514 has probably auditioned more high end speakers in his own home than all of us other posters combined. I would ... 
Directionality of wire
TEO audio  I tried your wire and it  sounded no different than regular wire.  
Hum problem
Did the technician put it on the scope?  If not what are the efficiency of his speakers? 
What makes you build a system around an amplifier?
 I had a pair of Sophia 845s  which were the best amplifiers I'd heard after hearing quite a lot.  I was powering a pair of Tannoy's and the combination was quite good indeed. Then I tried a pair of altec 604's which are 16 ohms.  I prefer those o... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?

DIY tube amps

Is it OK to use an 8 Ohm tubed amp to power 16 Ohm speakers?
It will be fine but technically it's better to match as close as possible.  
Bridge Rectifier for the heater 300b tube amp
Kosst what would be the difference? 
PADIS vs Furutech fuses
Kosst has made one of the few sensible contributions to this thread, I don't want him to leave it. Goofykate  makes his living fleecing people so it's obvious he's going to be a believer.  I have tried both Furutech and hi-fi tuning and they don't... 
Clearaudio TT5 Linear Tracker
 Actually I was mistaken it is the clear audio top-of-the-line linear tracker.  
Clearaudio TT5 Linear Tracker
 A friend of mine has one and he has a clear Audio goldfinger on it. Combo works great, probably the best analogue I've ever heard  
Silly prices for Nordost cables
Actually it is a ripoff no matter how you slice it. If you don't realize that your not the sharpest tool in the shed.  Sorry....
