B&W 800 DIAMOND-COMPARABLE SPEAKERS
Spend the extra money and get what you really want. It's the cheapest way in the end. Otherwise, you buy something else, sell it at a loss and then buy the B&Ws anyway, but by then, the price went up. Just get it over with and enjoy. I only sa... 
Speaker cable frustration for Merlin vsm mme
Are your speakers broken in? If not, you're compensating for a sonic trait that could change later, leaving you in the same position. 
Shengya vs. MHZS vs. Ming Da vs. Bada CD players
I highly doubt anyone has compared these players. If you're interested in a Chinese player, the Doge6 is fabulous, IMO. Available from Pacific Valve with 30 days money back. 
Morrow IC
If you are in Canada and large import duties are involved, I highly recommend Coincident cables, which are made in Canada and sound excellent IMO. As an aside, I've tried Morrow speaker cables and thought they were excellent at the price point. 
dacs are really big diffrents at all ???
I think you've proven there are no differences between DACs. Nothing else to say. Over and out. 
Charlie Byrd.... best albums ?
The Charlie Byrd Direct-to-Disc on Crystal Clear was an audiphile classic back in the 80's. I wouldn't say it's as good as "Guitar Artistry" but definitely worth owning if you can pick one up at a reasonable cost. I just saw a copy on Ebay in NM c... 
Vote for Rush for hall of fame
Rush is bad music played well. Nothing personal against them. They are certainly good musicians and Neil Peart seems to be a nice guy. But I cannot imagine how they think up that trash they write. I guess if you like Andrew Lloyd Webber, you'll li... 
Why do I like the Denon 103r so much?
It's also possible that the cart just clicks with your arm better than the Shelter. Arm-cart compatibility is a big thing, just as speaker-room compatibility. When you find a pair of speakers that just work in your room, it's like a revelation. So... 
How long untill I can really Flog them Hard
I don't think you're a savage, but I do think you should be using a speaker especially made for loud levels, such as JBL Pro or EAW. These are professional sound reinforcement speakers and can better reproduce high sound pressures. Enjoy the music... 
dacs are really big diffrents at all ???
Admittedly, the type of music you listen to, as well as the file format, will contribute to whether a more expensive DAC pays off. I think that if you listen to Van Halen MP3s while you're vacuuming the rug, one DAC is the same as the next. Nothin...

If you don't hear the difference, it would be silly to spend a lot of money. 
Best Song Intro
Whiter Shade of Pale - the organ intro on that is the best. Case closed. 
Ebay LP Purchases
You're in luck - Thanksgiving is coming up soon!! 
What's Technics SL-1200MK2 worth?
Amazon has them for $1325. They command premium prices in certain circles. As an aside, I think the Denon 103 MC cartridge is a good match for that arm. Enjoy. 
Ebay LP Purchases
No sooner do I post my positive experience when I get a sealed copy of a record with a small bubble in the middle of one track that would surely tear the stylus off my cartridge if I were to play it. I don't think you have recourse on a sealed LP ...
