Thanks for the additional recommendations as I do like a more calm jazz fusion sound! I will also check out some Clifford Brown. 
Miles Davis Newbe Question
All,Sorry for not following up as I thought the thread went inactive a long time ago! I have been listening to Love Songs and Kind of Blue. Any suggestions what to try next? 
Best tube preamp ever
Lamm LL1 Signature is a good place to start. 
Pre-amp with balanced suggestions?
Look for a used BAT preamp. The Atma Sphere is also a player to consider. 
Nuforce & HiFi
Jd,The RMF control plates under my amps are called P.A.U.L.’s EMF/MD Isolation Platforms. Expensive tweek but made a huge difference in the clarity of the amps.

Best audio time b4 even hearing of the sweet spot?
Dorm room circa 1977: Braun LV 1020 driven by a Yamaha CA-1000integrated with a Fons CQ-30 turntable and Yamaha tuner. To this day I have yet to hear a speaker that could pressurize a room the way the Brauns did!Cheers all! 
need suggestion about pre-amp, price around $5,000
There was a Cary SLP 05 for about 4k used. It has a great headphone amp and for the 1k you did not spend you could buy a pretty good power cord to go with it. It is a fantastic sounding preamp, especially when running it in balanced mode. 
Great songs and artists who virtually own them?
"Over the Rainbow" by Judy GarlandGreatest performance ever recorded!

The other use I would like to use the ipad for is as a remote control for a music server. That would be very cool.
