Looking for the next level in imaging...
Suppose you buy a million dollar system and you don't like the sound.... what do you do then? I've had several systems over the years and it wasn't the most expensive that sounded the best. As for me, Martin Logan speakers sound really good.  
Music first or sound first?
It's the music first and we buy systems which hopefully will give us more from the moving piece of music we are hearing. Is there more enjoyment to be had from this wonderful musical piece or not. I have to know.  
I need a extension cord with
Furman SS-6B-PRO 6-outlet Pro Surge Suppressor Strip ...look at the reviews. I have 3 of them. You are extended and protected.  
first & last system
I have the mcintosh ma252 with B&W speakers and they sound great together. I don't think you can go wrong with that setup. You will need a bluetooth wireless setup to go to the amp though. Another very inexpensive way is to buy a Sony SMP N200...

Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading
As long as you have a stable platform that doesn't move or vibrate you won't need a $12,000 one. It's not to say you don't need good footing on your components.  
Dog pissed on speaker

Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question
I agree with the oppo 105 or 105b as a good choice.  
The Best Bass Ever? A Subwoofer Discovery
Hey I think you may have found the perfect way to go deaf as fast as you can... a 15" woofer in a closed car should do it.  
Preamp advice
I have a Vac renaissance mk3 with my MC275 and it sounds wonderful (that's tubes on tubes). You can't really find them so maybe one of the newer Vac preamps should do nicely.   
Amp — Leave on or turn off
If you have a tube preamp... turn it off because logic would tell you that you are putting time on the tubes.... Haven't seen any studies but it makes sense (I'm going to get 10 posts telling me I'm wrong). I've noticed that temperature and humidi... 
Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection
I see lots and lots of classical records for sale all the time for really low prices so it should be easy to do.  
New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection?
I have the Rose rs150b connected to my amp with unbalanced rca connectors and I haven't once thought to myself that I could make it sound better. Which could free up the one unbalanced you have for your phono but if your heart is set on connecting...
