Help to pick redbook player
Love my Ah! with upsampler and Amperex NOS tubes. Should cost about $750 used. 
What causes imaging or the lack of it
If after playing around like the posts above doesn't do anything, have him bring his speakers to your house and plug into your system and see what happens. That should really tell the tale. 
DVD Audio Connections
Just to add to what was said above: In my HT system, unless I am senting the 5.1 analouge out DVD-A signal to the reciever, the recieved(or is it the player? Whatever....) downsamples the hi-res signal to 16/44 (ie: run of the mill CD "quality") 
Have you gone hi-rez? Which format and why?
I have a dedicated DVD-A player (Toshiba DVD which also outputs into my HT set-up by coax and to 2 chnnel with RCA) and a SACD player (Phillips 1000) into 2 channel. Also a nice CDP (Ah! Tojoeb with upsampler and all other upgrades). Cost of the w... 
song title that is memorable
Stuck In A Pagoda With Trisha ToyotaNot sure if this is actually the title from the '80's song. If you lived in LA during that time you may remember that foxy Japanese news anchorwoman from Channel 4 news. 
Which tubed cd player for this system
I love my Ah! with all upgrades (inc. Amperex) and upsampler. Never tire of listening to it and has better soundstage and imaging than my Phillips SCAD 1000 playing SCAD. I A/B'd a number of SCAD and redbooks with the Phillips v. Ah! and while the... 
JMR Twins vs. SF Concertinos vs. Spendor 3/5
I haven't heard the others side by side, but I LOVE my twins. They continue to astound and sooth me night after night (OK, no jokes). Such a great speaker for the mid $500 range used! I had them set up next to a pair of floorstanders once. My hous... 
Bruckner 9th...
I too have just been introduced to classical music as my new system sounds so good that I wanted to try more and different sounds than just my usual head banging faire. Been buying lots of stuff after getting advice here at the 'gone (See top 10 C... 
Good, warm, musical, under $500 used monitor
JM Reynaud Twins. Amazing for the price (about 550 used). Every night when listening to music I am blown away anew. 
What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics.
"Louie Louie" lyrics have to be the all time mystery. Anyone know the real ones or are they unprintable on this family oriented site? 
Connecting a sub to amp pre-amp outs?
The problem (I think --if I understand your set up correctly) is that if you output from the preamp outs on your amp to the sub you will not have control over the volume in proportion to the level you are playing the amp at. 
Best of dvd-audio and sacd discs?
Hootie and the Blowfish, Cracked Rear Window: DVD-A 
Inexpensive tweak
Have you thought of cyroing the cat? 
Inexpensive tweak
I usually gaffer tape my cat to my amp. I find it is very inexpensive and does wonders for soundstage and imaging. Cat likes the heat and gaffer tape is cheap. 
philips sacd 1000 as a redbook player
"So, pardon me and dont get me wrong. For $399 tweeter price, it's still a SUPER DEAL. I am keeping one myself..."Infinity_audioYes, I do belive that is what was said here and is indeed also the point of the original poster's question.
