How many still listen to CD's daily.
Have a CD-only sourced system...so, like all the time...! 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
Thanks for the pointer Hfisher3380 - I think I'm beginning to see the light...this definitely looks like something I want to keep my eye on. 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
I agree with you Petty. Some folks out there already know the very limitations you point out with computer audio and they are beginning to take matters into their own hands and move the ball forward, not waiting around for the industry to catch up... 
best vintage stereo receiver
I can vouch for the Luxman R-117, very nice tuner and overall sound. 
Power conditioning for digital gear AND tube amp?
There is a relative newcomer that I’ve tried and had great (miraculous) success with, but he’s not yet widely known. Alan at Alan Maher Designs (facebook) has a 2012 line-up he calls “Quantum” or “Q”. The whole AMD thing is different all the way a... 
Some old cables rescued me from computer audio.
If you're going to leave them separated, which I recommend (pairing the same kind of wires is likely better than electrically different ones), you should probably try to give them 6-8 inches of spacing between them for the most open sound. I too u... 
Are two smaller subs better than one larger?
It depends. In general one larger sub will have more low-end extension than two smaller ones, but two smaller will be a bit faster than a single larger cone. 2 subs allow stereo separation above the point at which bass begins to become directional... 
Emerald Physics 2.3 Crossover Questions
Give Ric Schultz at EVS (Electronic Visionary Systems) in Calif. a call, he can likely help, at the very least with info. He also does mods for the Behringer which will take the stock performance of the DCX to another level if that's what you want... 
Oppo BDP-95 Modification
Ric Schultz at EVS (Electronic Visionary Systems) in Calif. can help you. I believe his all-out mod (for stereo and multi-channel) is around $1700, with many partial options available. Customer comments are on his site. The sound is said to be unb... 
New Room Long wall or short wall?
FWIW, something else occurred to me about the long wall setup (which I've been enjoying many years now). There is known to be an audible comb-filtering effect from the rear wall the closer you sit to it. What I believe is generally not often taken... 
New Room Long wall or short wall?
By all means experiment to be sure, as it will largely be a matter of preference on most points, but the long wall can offer better sound, particularly in smaller rooms IME. Also in a small room it may depend on how far your rig is projecting an i... 
dedicated power line for audio equipment
Whatever wire guage you use, as long as you have any say in it, don't let them staple the wire to the 2x4's inside the walls - the usual consrtuction practice and not a very sound-friendly thing to do. Work out some other solution that neither use... 
beginner budget set up
Nat, where are you located?? Are there any HiFi salon's located with driving distance? You may just want to go just for the sake of wrapping your own 2 ears around some of the lowest priced gear out there and see for yourself if any magic can be f... 
Will An Attenuator Help Reduce This Hiss?
If it were me I'd shy away from buying an attenuator until going over the entire system architecture from top to bottom and, as thoroughly as possible, give it the full measure of attention paid to impedence and gain matching that (from what you'v... 
Bookshelf speaker with electrostatic sound
VMPS 626 JR?? You can find them used, typically under a thousand.
