Follow Up On TV Querry For 2007 Purchase......
I would only buy a plasma. They look way better than LCDs to me, much more vivid colors and deeper blacks. Burn in is a non issue unless you are negligent.With that being said, it is up to you of course. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I run my Velodyne DD15 out of my syrah. It has stereo inputs, so I just run a standard RCA cable from one of the pre-outs. If your sub only takes a mono cable, you'll need a Y adapter

The Cary Cinema 11 is the one to beat, and it's only 3k. Why spend more when you don't have to? Has 7.1 anolog in, audiophile engineering, a good analog pass through, and is future proofed with an upcoming addon to support the new formats. 
Denon 2930ci Looks Like Crap on 1080P LCD?
Diver- Your problem has nothing to do with 1080P and 720P resolutions. The only difference is where the upscaling gets done - either in the player, or in the TV. Expecting a big difference in an upscaling DVD player means that you are assuming tha... 
Need cartridge advice for Supratek preamp
I'm a Syrah owner. There is no silver bullet cartridge for the Syrah - just find one under 2.5mv that matches well with the Rega arm. Dynavector, Denon and Benz would all work well. 
Is the Ginko Cloud 11 the best isolation for a VPI
Hello,What do you folks put 'under' your Cloud platforms? In other words - what do you put your cloud platforms on? Does the quality of the rack or platform even matter as far as the cloud is concerned?thank you 
Significance of different components of audio ...
I agree with your list - but I would add preamp/volume control into the "important" category. 
Using B&W 802n's as Rears w/B&W 800n's as Mains???
Keep the N802s for rear channels. No reason not to, if you have the room and cash 
Mini Strata???
I don't think the AV123 crowd and the Agon crowd mix too much. I feel that the AV123 products are competitive, (I have the LS6 on order), but the crowd as whole seems (younger?) than the vibe at Agon, somewhat of a different culture 
Has anybody heard the new Nagra CD Player?
The idea that CDs are going to disappear soon is a ridiculous and un-substantiated claim. There is no reason to not invest in quality CD playback. 
Watt Puppy 7 with Pass X250.5?
Watt Puppies are NOT lean if they are setup right. Do you have enough space for them, and have good room acoustics? If so - You will love them - and they will be SO much better than your VR4JR - DEF. a step up in Bass 
Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma
The only thing about Plasma - Is burn is NOT a myth.I watch a lot of 4x3 content (I use black bars on the side, and do not stretch or screw with the aspect ratio) and my 600U has 2 vertical white lines where the 4x3 cuts off when I'm watching wide... 
Looking for a new "universal" player
There really isn't a whole lot of competition out there. It's pretty much the esoteric or the Linn - and like you, I find the Unidisk to reflect somewhat poor build quality for the price, and I found the transport to be too slow in operation for m... 
Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma
Either one will be good. Contrary to the above poster, I'd recommend 'not' going over to avsforum. AVSforum is the place of fanboys and ignorance for the most part. 
Eggleston Andra 2 owners
how would you compare the andra's to the WP7s?
