can you get 2 digital output on pc at the same tim
I'm guessing that if you use both sources at once, it will sound like garbage? They won't both output identical signals at the identical times. It will lead to cancellations and other issues. Find a DAC with dual outputs and you will be much bette... 
Speakers that do rock justice ...
Klipsch, B&W, Thiel....A lot depends on your amp? 
Mcintosh 6900/Klipsh Cornwall III - a good match?
Cornwalls can fill a concert hall but will choke in a smaller room. Go for a pair of Hereseys instead. They have almost the same sound quality, just smaller. Klipsch don't seem as dependent on the wall placement as others, probably due to the mass... 
Conrad Johnson vs. McIntosh Tube Gear
I'd look at Cary, Manley or even ASL. You don't need tons of power, 7-40 watts is plenty with 96db. Both Mac and CJ are too dry for my tastes. 
Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it
Do it!!!!!!!!!I don't have much vinyl but love what I have. Last night I listened to Moody Blues Long Distance Voyager (original master recording) on my Sota table, Jelco arm, Goldring cartridge, Cambridge phono pre and this simply crushed any of ... 
LCD TV Help
Most sets have "showroom" modes that burn much hotter/brighter. I know that my Samsung set to this mode is too much for everyday use. I felt that overall, Sony and Samsung were the best followed by a few panasonics, pioneers and even some nice LG ... 
In Wall Subwoofers in 2-Channel room ?
4 Subs! I'm into quality, not quantity. You may have a heck of a time getting those subs to sound good, even with manufacturer supplied enclosures. However, I have heard Nile's top of the line in-wall and it was nice. A similar priced Velodyne (or... 
Tube amp location
Bet you have room behind the speakers? I'd still try to keep them off the floor though, maybe on amp stands or modified speaker stands? 
Advice on upgrade of a 2.1 audio setup
Just from experience, my Sherbourn and Anthem pre/pro/tuners simply blow away my Classe pre. For 2 channel, my modded Music Hall is still my main piece with many SET amps... 
surround processor with a decent phono stage?
Now that I've read the other members posts, my angle has changed: Getting a unit with phono is probably a waste of your efforts. Buy an outboard unit. My Sherbourn 7010A has phono but it can't touch the quality of my $179 Cambridge 640. 
surround processor with a decent phono stage?
Sunfire IV or V.Sherbourne is the same as the Sunfire for a little less money.Both of these will crush the rest of your list! 
Advice on upgrade of a 2.1 audio setup
Sorry to be slow. If you are sticking with 2.1, it's really hard to call that theater. In my opinion, you really need an equal quality center channel speaker with a matching amp to your L&R speakers to get any quality listening. You will never... 
Advice on upgrade of a 2.1 audio setup
Something as simple and cheap as the pro-3 would work. They are very clean and simple.However, I'd really stress doing it right. What you are planning will kill the theater end of things. A B&K 505/507 receiver even will greatly improve everyt... 
Mercury Living Presence
The LP's are great! Amazing quality. My only complaint is that you can tell that they used multiple tracks to record on. The separation between sounds is very exact at times vs blended.You should hear a piano solo where they used multiple mics alo... 
Advice on upgrade of a 2.1 audio setup
Look at B&K. If I had known what you were up to, I would have suggested selling your receiver and buying an HT pre/pro and amp combo. You could have fit an Anthem AVM-2 or Sunfire 2 plus a nice 5 channel amp into your mix with great sound and ...
