Which speakers do the hologram thing?
Many speakers can do it but most electronics can't. I do agree with the recomendations on careful set up! Speakers are dumb, they just play what you feed to them, if you feed them a 2d signal you will get 2d sound. Feed them with electronics that ... 
what mid priced cables should i buy?
Craigklomparens, must have a bad battery in his hearing aid. The proof is in the listening. Anyone who is not that closed minded can hear the differnce(vast improvment)when switching to Kimber PBJ(about $70 for a 1m)from those junk plastic 99 cent... 
what mid priced cables should i buy?
Sean is right, even if all those crappy mid range drivers and flexy cabinet in the 901(they will never give you an image,too many reflections, and why would you want to let your room react with the signal like that?) could do much good, that Bose ... 
Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap?
I must agree with the previous posts. I tried one on my ARC cd player. I thought it would be maybe a minor inprovment. It was a best buy situation. Big bang for the buck. I am using the Custom Power Co."High Value" cord. They aren't lying about th... 
Most Analogue-like sounding Player 2k or less
If you can buy used I might recomend you try an ARC CD1 or CD2. mine sounds more like my table than any other I have listened to. 
ARC SP9,SP9mkII,SP9mkIII

Pipedream Knockoff Project

Amps & Maggies...what is your take?
Maggies like tubes! Get some amps with glass! 
Top Ten Speaker Cables of all time?...
Any one ever hear the old LiveWire Red? About the same price per foot as freeway and has great sound. This stuff is way too big to terminate though. I have some, anyone interested?

speaker degradation question
Providing that your speakers don't have foam surrounds they should last a very long time, unless you expose them to very high levels of UV. Bright sunlight will destroy many different materials over time. The old Magneplaners had a problem with it...

Best CD Player, new or used between $1-2K
I second the ARC CD2 recommendation. I have a CD 1 and it was a great buy and the CD 2 is even better. 
Amp/Pre-amp for Vandersteens
keep your SP9 and get an audio research amp like a VT50 and a Vandersteen 2wq subwoofer. You won't need much power when you use the sub and it makes my 2ce's sing! I have a set up like this and I love it! 
What's next after my 300B Rega Turntable
I have a Well Tempered Classic and it is a great value. You can spend alot more and not get the same performance. I do agree that the VPI tables are very good. I have owned alot of different tables and arms and find the sound of the Classic to be ...
