Which Linn Pre-Amp to buy?
FWIW the 5103 was Linn's reference 2 channel pre amp at shows until the Klimax Kontrol came out, I still use one and am very happy with it. 
Best cabling for Samsung DLP TV
Sound to your DLP TV??I hope you are not asking for input on IC's for a TV! PLEASE tell us you are using another system for sound...I personally have an older Gen DLP of Samsung and use DVI, with a Geffen DVI switcher. It wortks well, though I do ... 
Does anyone like vintage speakers?
Funny, I was calling my JSE 1.0's vintage, then after responding to this thread, bought a near mint pair of JSE 1.8's.... So they are new to me, but 20 years old, and sound great. FWIW They are in far better shape than the pair I moved at least a ... 
Linn AV 5103 5.1 input upgrades, anyone doing it??
I demo'd the Kisto, and while I must admit, it sounded better than the 5103 in almost all regards, I found the remote features to be so archaic that I couldn't imagine living with it. What was Linn thinking making you click through each input type... 
Does anyone like vintage speakers?
I still have a pair of 1985 JSE Model 1.0's that miraculously survived dozens of moves throughout shooling, and after, and still are in my bedroom. They certainly show the wear of all the moves.. even though I still have the original boxes and pac... 
Wireless link from your computer to your system.
I also use iTunes and two airport expresses (one for the living room, one in the bedroom) and run both through the digital ins of my Pre/Pro's, while my stiff is still compressed, it is a huge perk to have the entire audio library available to you... 
Proceed PAV/PDSD HT Processors Good?
I have seen these go for $650 here! I still like these units, far better than the AVP they came out with later. You will be missing a 5.1 analog input though unless you plan on rewiring the components any time you wish to use a multichannel source... 
Roy Buchanan Recommendations??
I personally think 'that's what I am here for' is his best album, though after his suicide and the note he left, I have had a really hard time listening to it since.. 
Arcam DV79 and Samsung DLP - your thoughts please
First off the Samsung DLP's native ate 720p, so you wouldn't need/see any benefit from 1080i, you would force both your player and TV to convert your signal, and possibly see more artifact.Second, the blacks won't be as dark as with a CRT, but the... 
help with universal remote.
Is there a way on the factory remote to then access cd1, cd2, cd3?? If so, then all you need to do is program the universal with each players codes from the factory remote after setting it up to control each... if that makes sense. If there is no ... 
help with universal remote.
Unless you happen to be using something like three multi changers that have the ability to select settings to distinquish each one seperately, you are screwed.... and will likely always control all three. 
Power Conditioners to reduce Sibilance
Adam,While I, like Bob use Chang PC's (I have the 9600, HT 1000, and 9900 amp models in my two systems now), I don't know if that will solve your problem. Yes, for many of the reasons listed above, it may help, but I don't think your components ar... 
Best component video cable under $150?
Bignerd100, I must disagree.I used to use whatever cable for video... then I bought a Nordost Optix S (S-Video) cable from Sancuary of Sound, and replaced what I was using (Monster M1000) and the difference was clearly obvious even on my ~30" Pros... 
Will Linn 5120 aktiv cards fit an LK100 amp?
If Lugnut is right... (I assumed the LK 100 was a a stereo amp...) then all LINN mono cards for the 5120 or Ekwal will fit and work to spec..Call Linn in Jacksonville @ 888-671-LINN to confirm....FWIW I have the mono cards also offered on Agon for... 
Which DAC for computer based system?
FWIW I use a similar system, though still have my music in compressed (AAC 192kHz) format, but I stream the audio wirelessly with Apple Airport Expresses and use the DAC's in my processors for conversion. Though not as good as your system, in my t...
