component problems driving me from the hobby?
I am assuming you checked for a blown fuse in the preamp. 
The Best Sounding Beatles CDs
None of the CDs sound as good as vinyl. The Parlophone cd's were released in 1987 when cd technology was young and most of the early cd's from that period did not sound very good. I think that the best sounding Beatles CD is probably Revolver foll... 
Is my amp clipping?
I tend to agree with Chadnliz, sounds like your tweeter got fried. Maybe you could hook up your Oppo CD player to a friend's equipment and see if you have the same problem, then you will know it's the CD player. Personally, I have never heard of a...

kt88 vs 6550
When I checked with CJ regarding my CJ power amp, I was told that if I used KT88's instead of the 6550's, biasing the amp would be a problem. 
Need warm sounding cables: Transparent Ref. MM?
Personally, I think changing interconnects makes a greater inpact on the sound quality of a system than a power cord. 
CARDAS Fans: Golden vs. Neutral vs. Presence?

I have Golden Reference Bi-wired speaker cables and I don't find the sound to be lean or the bass overblown. I think it is an exceptional cable with my equipment. I am also using Cardas Golden Cross interconnects from My CD player to the preamp an... 
Wasatch interconnect direction
Away from the source. 
Tube smell?
Is the smell matched? ;>). Only kidding, Don't risk creating a problem, get rid of them pronto, only bicycle tubes are supposed to smell like rubber. 
midrange forwardness
Sometimes it can be as easy as moving your speakers a bit forward from your listening area 
Are upgraded power cables really worth the money?
A good power cord can make a huge difference, but many will add different sonic characteristics to a component. If your system is a bit bright, I would avoid cables composed of silver wiring because they will make it sound even brighter. Some PC's... 
Prewiring Renovations
If I were you I would consult someone whose business is installing home theaters and the like for a living. You may get some quality answers here, but your situation is unique to you. 
Cables that cost more than good loudspeakers
Why do so many people act so naive with some of these postings? This is representative of the entire planet not just Audiogon and audio equipment. This is what people with a great deal of disposable income do!! 
Cables that cost more than good loudspeakers
In all likelihood these cables are going to be purchased by audiophiles that have speakers that are in the $40,000 to $100,000 range, which is also beyond what most of us can rationalize.
