Best speaker sytem for Linn majik+mimik setup?
There's a pair of Katans on A'Gon right now for $600. I think they are in active mode. Linn speakers would be the obvious match. 
Best PRaT CD Player for $600 or less ??
There is a Talk Electronics Thunder 1 just listed here on Audiogon for $399. Might be something you would be interested in checking out. 
Limited budget-spend more money on amp or preamp?
Count me on the source first side. Speakers only reproduce what is fed to them.Garbage in garbage out as they say.Go for the best preamp and lesser amp. 
Education: Best place for Audio Engineering?
Check Belmont College in Nashville, TNGood Luck! 
Jazz station recommendations, please.
WCLK.com from Atlanta, GA. About as good as it gets, 24 hours a day. 
First time for this, opinions please.
Thanks for all your responses. I have talked with the buyer and agreed to pay half for repairs. He probably won't let me, but the offer is there.He is going to ship the unit to Rega. I will be in touch with him to find out the results.Cheers!Dan 
Why even bother?
If you happen to live in a city or town that has a college radio station, a tuner can be a treat. Antenna + good tuner + good station = outstanding sound. As good as any other component IMO. 
Linn vs Naim House Sounds
Do a search here: Naim-Audio.comYou will get many responses. In a nutshell; Linn is more laid back, Naim is more agressive. Both are very musical.

What is meant by the term "B stock"?
Would you like to know if you were purchasing a "B stock" unit? I think the answer to that question for most would be yes.A lot of times "B stock" comes in a white box, instead of the usual brown cardboard. 
Anyone ever try the Cardas power strip???
I had one for awhile. It was quite good. If you like Cardas powercords, then this is just that, with a strip of receptacles on the end. Try to find one used, I think they are too expensive new.

Maybe the Mite TC is all he can afford, or has found a really great deal on that speaker. Not to attack you Rb, but it happens all the time here and on other forums. Someone asks about a certain product, and without fail another comes in and sugge...

Rbstehno,He did not ask if the Model 1 would mate well, obviously it would. The question was about the Mite TC. 
Duty free or not?
Yes you have to pay coming into the USA also. It is not a great deal of money. I think it is about $18-20 for around $700 worth of gear. You pay the shipping company, then I am not sure what they do with it, I assume it goes to the gov't.

I think a Mite TC would be just right. I have one with 4 Mites. Sounds really nice.
