Electrocompaniet ECD-1 or Audio Logic 24MXL
i really enjoyed the ecd-1 when i owned one - very musical and reasonably priced. it was displaced by the audio aero prima at 2.5 times the price with a "marginal" increase in performance. I havent heard the the 24mxl but the ability to tube roll ... 
Looking for a good Transport. Help.
I would consider a cec tc1 or tl2. Very analog sounding and reliable. They can also be serviced if needed. 
Does the Transport make a significant difference?
i have a cec tl-2 along with a audio aero prima dac. the older cec tl-1 and tl-2 is a really sweet transport. they are one of the few ones that can be repaired if needed 
Speakers in the 1000 dollar range....
i like the alons if you got the gear and the room to let them breathe. 
Audio Physic Avanti Century vs Avanti III
i have the libra's and they quite good... however they are very critical of setup and equipment not to mention they need a really big room.in really looking at it - i think they are one of the better speaker bargains out there if you got the room ... 
CLS Transformer Modication 4 Mid/High only

Video Question: Plazma or LCD???

Best choice Classé CAM-350 vs. Halo JC1 or ML 432?
i have classe cam 350's and they are pretty nice.. i have changed out every thing in my system at one time or another except for the cam 350's.. 
No More upgrades to ARC LS25 Mk.1?
hang onto your mk 1 and tube roll it with some killer e188cc.. 
Advice on first HT equipment and setup.
i would suggest the older mirage om series (260's, 60 and cc) and a velodyne or sunfire sub. you can get the mirages for $600 and the sub for a additional $600. Pick up a integra/onkyo reciever for $600-$800 with a oppo dvd player for $200... and ... 
Vacuum tubed tone control???

Audio Physic speakers: where on the value scale?
if you have the power, room, and a high resolution system then libra's are a great option. they are inbetween the virgo and avanti..they run for $2400 - $2800 and they are really wonderful when set up... the virgos are also a great speaker...btw, ...
