pure ipod dock
Mine sounded great for 20 mins and then stopped working. I emailed the folks in the UK so we will see if they make good. I am sure they will. 
What Song Reminds You of Your First Love?
Push, Push, in the Bush by Musique 
Grant Fidelity Reference Tube CD-1000 Player
Not to impune the retailer, but they are based in Alberta, Canada. Were a problem to arise that wasn't resolved amicably or at least consensually, the fact that they are based in Canada means that you'd have to go there to sue as there'd be no jur... 
Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI?
The Merlin website features a link to the ARS Sonum product. Presumably, if there weren't product "synergy," they'd not be implicitly endorsing the ARS. By reputation, Merlin is well-respected for quality so it's fair to assume the two products ma... 
sub for Studio-20s?
I've a paradigm sub one along with the studio 60s and 10s. I really like it annd think it is as good as the REL and others I heard in the price range. 
Interconnects for a Rega Apollo CD and amp/pre-amp
I had the Chord product for my Apollo and then tried several others including Aud. Technica. Of all the ones I tried, I thought the LAT International were by far the best. Clearer and far more detailed.

The Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks, Radiohead's OK-Computer, Pearl Jam's Ten, and London Calling by the Clash coming to mind.

I have a pair of the new version of the Tekton Katz. I'm using it in the bedroom along with a great CD player (Rega Apollo) and a very inexpensive and middling amp (Jolida FX-10). I bought the amp just as a way to dip my toe into the world of tube... 
Jolida FX Tube DAC
I have their FX Amp. Sound is pretty good but I don't think the build quality is. Seems there are a lot of other options at this price point. 
How do you judge your system's neutrality?
Swiss speakers are the most neutral. 
Re: differences in tuners
I agree on the classic tuner point, but the major drawback is their lack of HD. I don't think HD is all that it was promised, but if one lives in an area with decent HD reception, the difference is amazing. I also think that the sound quality of s... 
Let's pause for a minute or should we stop?
Does it cause more stress on the transport to be spinning continuously as opposed to starting, stopping and then starting again? 
Worst record ever?
Another set of candidates:1. The Dread Zeppelin album where a reggae band does Led Zepp. covers fronted by an Elvis impersonator. 2. The Pop-o-Pies album consisting solely of covers of the Dead's Truckin' done in different styles3. Anything by the... 
Worst record ever?
Anything by Toto, ELP, Yes, or Styx. 
So, what DON'T you spend money on?
One more thing. No land line phone. Never used it so we gave it up.
