early 80s stereo receiver mm/mc phono....
I got into the high-end business around that time. Nakamichi, Harmon Kardon, Kyocera, Denon all made very nice receivers. I sold Yamaha for years, but didn't really think that highly of it. Just my opinion, but you could do better. 
Toslink to RCA adapters
I found several. I know Theta made one. Here is one from Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/Optical-Toslink-Coaxial-RCA-Converter/dp/B002HWZN4W/ref=pd_sxp_f_ptThere were several others I found also. Just Google Toslink Optical to RCA Digital coax adapter. 
Pink Floyd The Wall--Which vinyl?
IMHO, the CBS/Sony Japan Pro Use, is the best copy of this title that I have heard. I know it fetches big bucks, although that doesn't really mean it's the best, but I think so.

upgrading VPI turntable
I completely and totally agree with Markd51. Why? Because I have such a full blown VPI HW-19 table. I wouldn't trade it for anything out there under 6K. It's that good. 
EE MiniMax Dac Tube Rolling?
Glad you are enjoying the DAC. It really is an excellent piece of gear.I have also tried it without the tube, but still prefer it with the Mullard, in my system. It is indeed nice sounding in the SS mode, but the tube gives me that "analog" sound ...

Recommend some Blues music to a newbie
Joe Bonamassa rules! I will get to see him live in concert on Tuesday. Can't wait. Should be a killer show.I also really like a CD called "Girls With Guitars". These chicks can really play and sing.

ARC SP-6 Warmup time
I owned a couple different versions of this preamp. The 6B and later did have a "timer mute" circuit, but I remember it only took a minute or two at most to unmute. It was a long time ago,so maybe I've forgotten.Here is an excerpt from a 6B owner'...
