Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile
"They didn't like it, so no review."Nonsense. 
How to merge my 2 Channel and HT Systems?
Ummm. Is the Anthem a stereo-only preamp or is it a MCH preamp-processor? If the latter, just connect the L/R output of the Anthem to the Plinius and the other Anthem outputs to the B&K and sub. If not, does it have a HT bypass feature? This f... 
Sony SCD XA-5400ES connection question
1. The digital and analog outputs are simultaneously active (unless you turn off the digital output switch).2. Yes, the coax digital connection only outputs the CD layer.Your plan will work but, when you have it hooked up, compare the two on CD to... 
Android Tablets - Plausible to use asMusic Server?
Tablets can serve as a controller but generally lack sufficient storage capacity to be the server. Same for the SBT. Kal 
logitech touch - tech success...marketing flop?
Amazon? Crutchfield? B&H? TigerDirect? J&R?Or just Google? 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo or Sony SS-AR1
I didn't know that there was such a consensus.Kal 
Apple TV vs Squeezebox touch

Digital question...
The requirement is to make sure that the Panasonic TC-P65VT30 outputs stereo PCM only! TV's and disc players can output various flavors of Dolby and dts and no standard audiophile DAC can handle these.Kal

dac or sacd?
While I am definitely committed to multichannel, it is plain wrong to say that you need a decent, or any, multichannel system to "properly" play SACD. All SACDs have a dedicated stereo DSD track and will play "properly" on any stereo system.Kal 
dac or sacd?
Depends on what you already have.Kal 
HDMI to Multi-channel audio adaptor
OK. I did not appreciate that meaning for "pre-HDMI" in the context of the statements. (Also, did you mean "multi-disk SACD player" or multichannel SACD player?)As for the Oppo players, all of them have always had multichannel analog outputs, even... 
12s cable for perpetual tech. Dac
Can anyone provide the docs for the two PT boxes? I seem to have lost mine.Kal 
HDMI to Multi-channel audio adaptor
I don't understand. These boxes must have DACs in order to output via RCA analog connections. I also have no idea what "pre-HDMI" means.
