Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
B&W CDM-1 SE's and Linn Kans. 
Is the nicest television a computer ?
I did that to make room for stereo equipment. I don't watch a lot of tv, so I have a LG 19" computer monitor for TV (a Linn Classik for sound....).Yes, it works, but it's a very small picture.

Monitors for Extreme Near-field listening
Thanks for the responses. I'll think for now I will stick with the Kans' and am using a Behringer 2496 EQ to knock down a upper bass-lower mid 'honk' - seems to help.

Polish?
Ask a silversmith what he/she uses to polish valuable silverware that cannot be scratched. Regular silver polish has abrasives - don't use. 
Turntable to Benchmark to amp...
Mapman and Jpainter are correct. The DAC-1 is simply a DAC with a volume control. You would have to get another preamp with phono inputs. 
Any Audio Enthusiasts in Alabama?
I'm in Montgomery. 
What could I expect to hear from a Class A amp?
Class A means that the bias on the 'device' (transistor or tube) is set to allow the device to be "on" 100% of the time. Very linear for the signal (that's why they sound good), but poor efficency. That's why real Class A amps are huge and expensi...
