Do I go active with my Linn 5140s ?
Dfw,FWIW I used my AV 51 system in my condo, when I bought a home the theater room was bigger, ~18 feet deep and much wider with an open left rear corner.The reason I sold the AV system was two fold.I was so sick of dealing with all those cables, ... 
Do I go active with my Linn 5140s ?
Mark,He will spend a fortune on Active cards to do it that way as the new amps require different cards, and the cards rarely if ever show up used (though I was lucky enough to buy a 5105 with the bass cards when I stepped up from the 5120's for su... 
Do I go active with my Linn 5140s ?
I can't answer for going to the Chakra, but I had a Linn AV 51 system back in the day, ad going active on the 5140's with three 5105's and active cards was a hue improvement, particularly in bass extension, the general characteristics of the speak... 
Is it worth expanding into Vinyl???
Jaybo,I recently took the jump back into vinyl, oh and bought a Great Dane having never had one! Sorry, it just hit me funny you said that! I am waiting on my Phono preamp to start using my new table (Marantz TT15)

best choice for new processor for hd audio and 2 c
Mribob,I think the DACS in the 861 are excellent and more than you'll need for a music server. As far as the upgrade.... the talk @ CEDIA last year was that to go to v5 or v6 you'd need all new I/O cards, and they don't come cheap, some are ~$2K e... 
Best reasonable Phono preamp for Marantz TT15SI
Not sure where I'll end up, but I want to get the best sound I can from this setup for now to see if I want to stay in analog, and if so I'll likely go further as I always seem to.... 
Playstation 3 Blue Ray quality - How good is it ?
Best as I can tell the video press gives the PS3 the edge over everthing out there. I totally disagree, while the PS3 is currently the only v2.0 player made, the video (mine is running F/W 2.35) is still significantly inferior to any other Blu-ray... 
best choice for new processor for hd audio and 2 c
Having sold a Meridian 861v4.2 and having gone through all the new ones and many other top pre/pro's, you'll find it tough to beat the Meridian. The Lexicon is a bit digital for me, especially on music. The Halcro is supposed to be very nice, thou... 
Is this the biggest HT system ever?
How did I know it would be Jeremy Kipnis' theater???At $6 Million for the setup, it likely is! 
God this is overkill
TOTALLY!!!I have managed to keep myself to only three systems on the home, but I had seriously considered a good system for the office that was PC based! Enjoy it!

Are you buying blu-ray versions of older movies?
Rakuennow,You would think so, but you are very wrong, only one or two movies have to date been recorded in native 4K!!! Yes, this is true!
