Mega-Speakers from Linn Audio....
Peter, that is exactly what I thought when I saw the speaker. (BTW your stereophile ads freak me out a little bit, I turn the page and boom there you are staring at me in that hat ;-)) My guess is that they haven't made enough of a blip on the rad... 
E188CC/7308/6922
Could be a rebranded 6dj8. I think I remember reading that if it doesn't have gold pins it is not a E188CC. Whats the getter like, any ridges on top of the glass? 
cable burn-in / system burn-in
Rodman that is pretty much my understanding of what is (partially) go on too. 
Converting Power Cords into Speaker Cables?
Why not just sell the KS's and get a real speaker cable? You mentioned the Nordost pc converted to a speaker cable, while it might have sounded ok or even good I am sure it didn't sound like the corresponding nordost speaker cable, the geometries ... 
Wither Jimmy Page?
Heroin will do that to you. Unlike, for example John Frusciante who was also deep into it Jimmy never seemed to be able to regain the form he once had. 
Who gets your system and music after you are gone?
My daughter, she loves to listen...to music, not to me so much ;-) 
Pass Lab X250 or Parasound Halo A21
I had an X250 for a bit and it wasn't my cup of tea, was a bit mechanical. Haven't heard the A21 but I have JC1's which I like a lot. I agree with Ozzy if you are going to get a Pass get the .5. 
Leviton Hospital Grade AC Outlet - Which One?

Ayre CX7-E vs Rega Saturn; your thoughts please
I listened to the 840c briefly prior to picking up a CX-7e and they are not really in the same league. If the Ayre hadn't worked out the Rega was on my short list along with the Linn Majik.The nice thing about the Ayre is that it now can be upgrad... 
Proceed CDD - repair or not?
simple but often overlooked, make sure the lens is clean. 
Parasound Halo JC-1 and JC-2 How good are they?
This is what I run. As impressive as the JC-1s are the JC-2 might be even more so. It trounced a fully modded SF Line 2SE that I had been running prior. 
The Zero-va Interconnect a DIY project
Well you have to look at your source. The site that you linked to, which is the one that is commonly refered to, is a mfg. the makes instruments to measure bulk solids. For cotton that would be in its raw form which has much more air per volume th... 
The Zero-va Interconnect a DIY project
your DC for cotton in the form you are using it in is wrong. 1.3 - 1.4 is for raw, unprocessed cotton, not rope. Try this site: http://www.swicofil.com/products/001cotton.html#Propertiesthat more accurately reflects where the rope is at DC wise.Go... 
Has anyone ever cried listening to your system
Only after turning it on to find one of the channels out ;-)
