The value of top end 1080p projection
The cheaper projectors have very cheap lenses. I would buy the best lens package projector that I can afford. 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Wonderful if you are a rabbi in a Temple or Shull, maybe you can get others involved in this crazy hobby. I have a friend who ate Pork and Shrimp and was heavy into the high end. He went to NY and met the head Lubavitcher Rabbi at the time and the...

Rebbi are you a true Rabbi as Rebbi is yiddish for Rabbi. I assume you are not Orthodox. I have never met an Orthodox Rabbi that was into high end audio. 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
I sure would not spend past the 20K mark for a dac. As in one year there will be a new one at half the price and better. If you want to sell your old two year dac you will take a bath. Could you imagine spending 120k on the DCS stack and find some...

Single driver speakers without the pitfalls?
Never liked speakers that used the Manger drivers. They did not seem to integrate well with other drivers. 
New Eva Cassidy 180 gr
I have the cd's and there is a slight brightness when she hits the high notes. I think this may be on the tapes. If the records don't have this problem I will buy them. 
Final Speaker Decision: TAD R1 vs SF Strad
TAD do you have to ask. 
Allnic 5000DAC
I did own a lector tube CD player at one point and it was not very good. I thought the Luxman dac was just a rebadged oppo player. 
Fuses that matter.
If the voltage is higher that is fine, its the amperage that should be the same. 
2 subwoofers?
Sell yours and get two DD12 or15 instead. These were the best velodynes made.
