Opinions on Magnepans sales/marketing approach to
Wendell will need to soon move on with an estate plan. That will trigger being acquired by one of the mega buck hedge funds. ARC was the latest to need an 'estate' bailout. Small companies no matter how profitable they are, need liquidity so they ... 
What's up with that?
putting your email in the message is not that difficult, I do it all the time. 
Opinions on Magnepans sales/marketing approach to
I agree, the business model going forward on $10K and up speakers will be buy on the review. Dealers have little incentive to stock demo's on those price points as auditioning them is so subjective. Only in hearing in the listeners environment wil... 
Moving across country with over 1000 LP's
Tight packing is the key, with strong boxes. 
Are two smaller subs better than one larger?
Yes, in my experience, in my room. I had tried a single, 15 inch driven by 500 watt sub amp, but it did not provide the impact I thought was possible. So, I switched to smaller units. Sold off the 'big boy'. Could not be happier. Lastly. The room ...

Any of the Cayin tube units will give you great sound, and a great value.

Best to contact Steve at cayinusa.com. Steve is the distributor of Cayin in the usa, and is always there to help. 
Practicality of footers to isolate turntables.
If you are serious about 'isolation' there is only one way to go, but expensive at that. The solution? An electron microscope platform. The availability of such a device tells audio isolation is a sane practice, and necessary, you just need to fin... 
Tube amp for ProAc Tablette Anniversary

Bluebook prices are generally highly inaccurate. While the Audiogon feed of auction data may be more accurate the reported numbers, it is still best to look at completed e-Bay data. If Bluebook/Audiogon wanted to improve their coverage they would ... 
Best finger food for audiophile listening
None. I am shocked that you would consider food in your listening room, let alone drink. Your listening room should be sterile, like a 'clean room' at a data center. i have heard that food and drink only diminishes the about to listen. Harry said ... 
Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage
Lets to to the UPS. It is not for no reason that UPS generally only pays damage claims on electronics if the item is shipped in the manufacturers boxes and uses all he manufacturers packing materials. Even then, you have a hassel since older items... 
An SACD question
Still buying. It is always my first choice. Sometimes I must wait for the SACD release but it is worth it. Film music is always better rendered on SACD. 
Proac tweeter issue
Yes, assuming a 'spill' condition happened from moving them. Best to replace both tweeters with ProAc replacements, otherwise the sound will not be original. 
Need advice on how to sound insulate my room
Lead wall paper. Yes, there is such a thing, but expensive. Often used as an underlay in floors. I used it in a media room that I built some time ago. It needs to be sealed as it could be an environmental hazard. If you have children, forget about...
