Another sign SACD is dying
This doesn't surprise me. Of my local social and professional circles (no audiophiles), I'm the only one that even knows what SACD is, much less DVD-A or the likes. 
Alternative albums that sound passable/good
All three Soul Coughing albums sound great. Very creative production and sonics galore. One of my personal favorites, I really wish they hadn't broken up. 
Where to place - need some hand holding please
Wow. What a rig, what a room! Lovely woodwork. Tricky room acoustically.There are many threads on speaker placement here at the 'gon, definitely give them a read. Also, contact Sonus Faber with a description and measurements of your room (include ... 
Transparency/Nuetrality: Creek,Bryston,Musical F
What sonic signature are you looking for?If you're looking for musical, you might consider Rega gear as well.I've found British gear to generally be quite musical, not nuetral and transparent at all.One thought - "musical" doesn't really reside in... 
scoutmaster/scout vs mark iv
I have a Scout with the Mark IV bearing and platter upgrade. Best of both worlds? 
Who did your Eichmann Bullet cable retermination?
I just received a response from Frank at signalcable.com and he quoted me a great price. Thanks for the great lead Tvad. 
What's your worst excuse for an upgrade
"It was such a good deal, I just couldn't pass it up." 
I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah

I had a similar issue with a passive pre that inverted. I was running a pair of Transparent Super Bi-cable XL, a networked cable. I flipped them at the amp end so I could A/B the results quickly (2 versus 4 spades to switch). Networked or not, it ...

tube gear for rock and techno
I've had both a Sonic Frontiers SFS-40 and an SFS-80, great for rock and techno when tubed with KT-90s, both in your price range. Plus, they are very tube rolling friendly. 
Hanging Speakers from the Ceiling... Macrame???
I have helped a friend hang speakers. I suggested purchasing a pair of backpacking hammocks. They worked great. The speakers were 2-ways with 8" woofers. They never set themselves in motion via bass output. 
What does "good" sound like?
"Good" is relative. No two sets of ears are the same. The point of this addiction is to please your own ears. As stated above, playing around with speaker positioning can make a HUGE difference. Start there. If after some experimenting you still a... 
Need help for ALON I problem
Mitch2 is correct, Carl is great about responding to questions. I have corresponded via email and have talked to Carl on the phone as well. I'm sure he can help. I'd appreciate it if you would post your results, especially if there's a better than... 
Aimee Mann fans ?
I too like Aimee Mann very, very much.I'll have to second Robm321. Her tracks on the Magnolia soundtrack are great, very Beatle-esque stuff. Note: I regularly use the last track, a chamber piece, as a test track for evaluating micro dynamic capabi...
