Bose makes more than speakers...
Just goes to show us experts that the majority of people are listening to the music - I admit mostly in the background or car - than to the stuff producing it. 
Music to die to
The soundtrack to Forrest Gump and if there is still a few moments - Norman Greebaum's Spirit in the Sky. 
Why buy older digital gear?
I have a krell 30i with no upgrades in one of my systems that I love listening to and its DAC is first rate for my 300 disc changer I also have hooked to it. I never think of it as old technology - just good sounding. 
Is there an end.......ever?
I am always looking for something new as far as unigue artists or rare finds of old artist goes. I love my collection of CD's , LPs and SACD's. I spend a great deal of my time now recording mixes of things I like because it is now hard for me to l...

Kora Hermes VS Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MK1
I may have been the one you are talkng about with regards to the EMC player being used as a transport with the Hermes tubed Dac but I did not receive an email so maybe I am not the one. The EMC is a great player but combined with the Hermes it bri... 
Best CD player
The Electrocompaniet player has served me well and can now be bought with the 24/192 upgrade. 
Tube/Solid State Bi-Amplification
It depends on your speaker and amps which will determine whether or not it is worth the expense. Your preamp I gather has only one preamp active output rather than the input you mention. You will first need a Y cable to split the signal to each am... 
Martin Logan Prodigy versus the Odyssey
I own the Odysseys and auditioned the Prodigy at the same time - my room is 20 by 22 and the Odysseys sound great in it. The Prodigy may fare better with a larger room - for the money the Odysseys are hard to beat. The Odysseys sounded more natura... 
How About that Jazz Fest down in New Orleans....

Any one old enough to remember?
If it sounds good I would keep what you have. A new cartridge might be the first thing that would improve the sound if you are not happy . You could lose interest after going through your collection a couple of times. The Thorens 125 was a pretty ... 
Best sounding CD player for 6,000.
There are a lot of good choices here. I use the Electrocompaniet player with a Kora Hermes tube DAC. Together they can be bought for under your budget. The EC is a top loader with less moving parts and is a great stand alone but an even better tra... 
Genesis Time Lens improvement?
From what I remember many of the Lens had a rather loud hum to them. 
McIntosh vs. Krell Comparison
I have owned both and still own Mcintosh. They are two great brands but couldn't be more different. To say one is better is a matter of taste. The Macs are more natural sounding - very quiet - and these models can drive anything. The Krell sound i...
