$1500-2000 Used Pre/Pro Recommendations
In that range you've got a lot of nice units as long as you don't need internal HDTV switching. Some that come to mind in this price range..Proceed PAV/PDSD...this WAS a $10,000 pair, but they have been selling regularly for less than $2000, and a... 
Flea market or serious audio deals?
I have been using A-gon for a few years, and built almost my entire system from it. I think it all comes down to what the market will bear....Case in point, I had a Linn Ikemi, which I sold for $2000 or 55% of retail. I don't feel that was a bad d... 
What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics.
Cpdunn99...you are amazingly close.Inagaddagavida was actually written by half of Iron Butterfly when they where in Europe. Wanting to get the rest of the band to learn the song before they got home they called them and sang it to them over a rath... 
Best of dvd-audio and sacd discs?
As far as DVD Audio, nothing I've heard comes close to ELP Brain Salad Surgery....the album was made for multichannel! 
Mixing Amps in a HT Set-up?
As far as using different amps, yes you can, however you will encounter a balance problem beyond simply calibrating the system with a sound meter as Kthomas has suggested. You will find that yes, that can easily be done, but the volumes of the dif... 
Linn activ cards installation
Both myself and a local friend have done this on our own, as we hate the local Linn dealer. It's not too difficult. I did it with 5105's and 5140's, so I had to remove the crossovers too. I think the Ninka's have the newer crossovers that allow yo...

Hard Disk Playback Systems
We'll all just need massive hard drives in our Mac's (PC's for those who still use them!)KT

Looking for a pre-amp with a lot of inputs. 10
Linn's AV 5103 has ten stereo inputs plus five digital inputs and a tape/DAC loop as well. 
Have you ever had a listening party?
I agree with Tim,I've never hosted a formal 'listening party' but have had many impromptu ones, they always seem to start at the bar, usually with some single malt or cask scotch, and then progress to the listening room... It might be a nice touch... 
Which Amp for uppermost freq' in tri-amped setup?
If you get an LK 85, use that on the mids and use the 5105 for the tweeters, sounds backwards, but Linn is fanatical about using the best amp on the tweeters. The 5105's a great amp, have you given any thought to buying another one of those?? Or t... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Well, I "finished" my HT a few months ago...except for the extra power conditioning I need, and the progressive DVD and HDTV set....and got engaged, so I just bought my dream car.I got a MB CLK 55 AMG Convertible, Bradz and Tireguy... yes, it is t... 
How Do you hide/camouflage your rats nest?
I guess I got lucky, my fiance is fine with my HT, which runs six dual mono amps, all with active crossovers, plus the integral sub amp, so 13 channels for 5.1.... I personally like having the one wall entirely made up of stereo components. It sav... 
NEW Power Treatment Technique
CFB I have snakes, they could eat each other while feeding, but aren't dumb enough to eat their own tails!
