Best single-malt Scotch...
Well, I still have a bottle of 25 yr old Macallan, haven't opened it up yet.... Happened to be at the liquor store the other day and they got the new 25 and 30 yr old Mac's. I must say I didn't buy either, they now come in cardboard boxes and are ... 
Linn amp and REL sub
If you're LK 85's are set up to be used in active configuration, they should be used with the intended speakers for the active cards. If you want, you could remove the active cards and use the amps to power your sub, and then yes, BFA's are just a... 
Krell DVD Standard
FWIW I have an Esoteric DV-50, and had a Linn Unidisc 2.1 for several weeks. The DV-50 is far more accurate, has much better bass, and give the instruments better seperation...on the flip side the Linn has a smoother, kind of 'happier' sound, but ... 
DVD/CD player
HDMI is High Definition Multimedia Interface.... basically it is DVI with audio as well, and the two are interconvertable with a simple adapter. I would say you look into a Teac Esoteric DV-50s.... comes with DVI, is a reference standard CD player... 
Best excuse for playing loud music?

Bi-Amped Aktiv vs. Tri-amped Aktiv?
No problem, you'll love them even more once the cards burn in!FWIW even my wife (girlfriend at the time) even noticed a huge improvement...so it 'just wasn't me'KT 
Bi-Amped Aktiv vs. Tri-amped Aktiv?

Bi-Amped Aktiv vs. Tri-amped Aktiv?
Passive bi-wired to active, bi amped, undoubtedly. The ninka’s are two way, and both bass drivers are identical, so you really only need two amplifier channels to go active. If you really wanted to, you could use a third and power each of the bass... 
Surround Speaker cabling question
Since electricity travels at almost the speed of light in wires, you truly never really need the same length of wires anywhere. 
Multi-Format Disc Player with HDMI
I’m curious if DVI isn’t enough for you?? As you hopefully are aware, DVI and HDMI are easily interconverted with a simple adapter, the only real difference is that HDMI also carries audio, which I’d like to think anyone on this site is feeding to... 
Apple Airport Express Very Cool Product
Budrew.I am running mine via the toslink cable...from the $39 cable pack you need to buy ;( directly to the digital in on a receiver in my bedroom, and it works well, I've not done any critiacl listening to really establish HOW good it is, but fro...

Well, i got mine today setup today, and as you said, not as staraight forward as typical Apple stuff, especially as I use a D-Link router....fortunately I have an Apple store nearby for support....Well, I've set it up and streamed some AIFF files ...

I went to buy one from Comp USA, only to find out they didn't have the necessary cables....So I ordered it from MacMall, should be here by the end of the week, with cables, I'll play with the one and decide how many I want...FWIW I can't wait for ... 
Most Flexible Audiophile Preamp
BTW the 5103 also is designed to handle an outboard DAC as well, if you need it. 
Most Flexible Audiophile Preamp
