Ads with "Checkup"
I hear ya!I've been looking at some vintage tuners over at ebay and many of the ads state that the unit has been checked by a technician, cleaned and all buttons and switches lubed.Gives me the feeling that I'm the one who is being lubed. 
Big screen LCD TVs
What about "ghosting" or some call it "tracer" effect? Is it really a problem with LCDs? 
Big screen LCD TVs
Exactly.These new sets are no different then hi-end audio: garbage in, garbage out. You really need a digital signal from cable or satelite to appreciate them. These sets will really expose poor analog signal. 
Any suggestions for a good speaker match for Naim
Difficult to find in the US but NEAT speakers and Naim are a very synergistic match.I have a pair of Mystiques with Nait5/Flatcap2/CD5 and could not be happier. 
Krell Ksa power amps
Good post!Anyone considering a used solidstate amp should keep this in mind. Im sure recapping applies to other brands of amps as well. Naim, for instance, recommends recapping every 10 years. 
What Speakers to use with my cj prmier 11a
HiI remember hearing the CJ11a with Proac 2s. Very musical.A few years later I finally bought the 11a and paired it with Martin Logans Aerius. Bass was a little soft but the pair worked well. Stats and tubes mix.The last speaker I had with the CJ ...

Better amplification for Thiel CS 1.5
If your looking for an integrated amp, I would look for a used Classe. They mate well with Thiels and can be had used for about $1000. The more power the better with Thiels.

Amplifier match for MM de Capo i's
HiIf you get a chance, pick up a used Atmasphere S30 or Transcendent OTL amp. I had the Atmasphere and Decapo combo for a while and can tell you they work great together.Emil 
The Fastest most musical amp
