What’s your latest high-end audio purchase?
A 26’ Morrow MA-1 interconnect to wrap around the room and connect my Luxman 890AXII tape out to my Woo WA6 headphone amp. Some of the best $$ I’ve spent in years, as I can now get great early morning listening sessions In without disturbing the r... 
The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them
Tired of this crapola.  If you don't like it, don't buy it, but get off your high horses.

In this hobby, it always cracks me up when folks bitch and moan about high prices. Definitely a first world problem.  
How many plays can you get out of a good record?
Always one more.  
Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ?
Hmmm.  Millions of available albums?  My lifetime isn't long enough to enjoy even a fraction, so I think I'll stick with my vinyl, CDs, SACDs and a few cassettes to keep myself entertained.  
Storage of other speakers in the room, shorting them while not in use? Myth or true?
Make sure to cover your sink drains, too, or else you might get some inadvertent Helmholtz resonator action.  
Something on top of a speaker=okay?
I won't buy speakers that don't have a flat top.  Too convenient for stacking stuff on top of.  
Finding a specific cable
Expensive is an understatement.  Unobtainium for me, not that I'd want them.  
Cables recommendation

Adding a sub. - can i start with one?
+1 REL

Kronos Sparta or TechDas Air Force III?
IMO, if you have to ask that question of a forum, you shouldn't be wasting your money on either.  
What is the best 2 channel listening chair?
If you like your current chair, just build a carpeted platform that raises your chair to the height you want.  Simple and cheap.  
What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly?
I've had good luck with Morrow.  Replaced Purist Audio Design speaker cables with their SP4's (better sound and markedly more flexible for routing purposes); recently added a 26' interconnect to put my headphone amp back in the main system for dai... 
Bought an Audio Research Amp
I've been using a D400 Mk II for more than 25 years (currently in a secondary system, along with an ARC LS3). Will probably be using it until I die.
