3 Dedicated lines into 1
so wait - do you just clip the ground off of it with a pair of bolt-cutters?

cheater plugs on every component except for your preamp. that cures 99% of all ground loop problems. saved me. 
Teres owners and vinyl junkies . . . .
and by segguestions, i mean suggestions. need coffee. that, or to start proofreading these damn things . . . 
NAIM CDX2
the naim cdx2 w/ xps power supply is a fantastic cd player. it's easily one of the best i've ever heard, although i can't comment on how it compares to the original, as i haven't heard it. more so than anything, it's timing and pace are incredible... 
Audiogon Grammys
i second jposs's recommendations even though he's really, really ugly.and add 'dust' by peter murphy. very well recorded. 
Best group of the late 80s/ 90's
that's funny - did either of you know that the pixies did a cover of 'head on' by the jesus and mary chain? and yeah, psychocandy is great, but darklands and honey's dead are my favorite. 
CD Players with Analogue Sound
Resolution Audio Opus 21. best cdp i've ever heard. very, very analogue-sounding. sony scd-1. rega jupiter 2k. linn ikemi. (and i assume the cd12, but i haven't heard it yet) 
Great Classical/Spanish Guitar on SACD/CD????
elliott fisk - check out his recordings on lp or cd. hard to find, but he's really, really good. very emotive. 
Massive Attack fans....
blue lines came firts, then protection, then mezzanine. i prefer trucky's solo work to massive attack. tireguy, you'll like tricky's newest one (blowack) if you didn't like juxtapose. it's more in line with his earlier, almost accessible stuff 
Subwoofer recommendation for Maggie 1.6 QR
i second (or third) the REL recommendation and want to add a few:the rega vulcan sub (which is made by REL) will mate PERFECTLY as will the linn sizmik.if price is no consideration, go with the sizmik. if so, look for a rel or vulcan. i had 1.6's ... 
Best used Red Book Player for Rock-N-Roll
i have a hard time believing that either of those fantastic naim cd players wouldn't be sufficient for what you're looking for. naim, like linn, is virtually synonimous with PRAT, and they are detailed and musical to boot. if you thought either we... 
What is the best way to convert LP's to CD's?
Rives is absolutely correct! actually, he uses exactly the same programs beginning to end i do with master-quality results. i just made a copy of my MFSL david bowie ziggy stardust LP and burned it with nero's advanced master-quality-thingie and t... 
Cable "burn in"
what do you recommend, sean? i'm in the process of breaking in some ic's at the moment and would love to know. 
Monitor speakers for a change
i can only recommend the atc 20's, asince i haven't heard the others on your list, but you absolutely can't go wrong with them. 
Best mid-size speaker, cost no object
chalk 2 up for atc active 50's. . .
