Affordable Japanese LOMCs--Recommendations?
These comments just prove that 'colored' sound is alive and well in audio land. 
Small system upgrade question
Best to dump the Tablette's, and move up to another proac that has base. I have the Tablettes and tried dual subs and that was not very effective. 
Who is the World's Best 'New' Female Vocalist
Katherine Jenkins, it does not get better then that. 
What about the aer?
A must would be a $100k electron microscope platform, discussion ended. 
What cd player to purchase for less than $1000?
Are you afraid to spend $60 at SonyStyle for a refurb 595? It will amaze you, if you keep your mind open. Best part is that SonyStyle will come and get it for free if you don't like it.

ATC, self powered may the place to start.

Will Thunderbolt replace all as premium connector?
Lets not get ahead of ourselves. The 'net' is nowhere able to deliver those speeds to consumer broadbands and when it does its pricing model will be by the bit. One step forward, two steps back. 
High-end amplifier clarification?
Leave out the 'end', just state it as 'hi fool', which is anything over $1K.
