regular vinyl pressings
Dont like USA pressings.You should have the pleasure of Canadian pressings.About 70G cheap Viynl you can fold them in half just about. 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
Bel canto and a DVD player is not the way to go.For one thing this guy has 5K to spend on a Music suystem.Why pollute it with a DVD player in the first place.Put 1500 in a single box Cd player and your well on your way.Put it into a DAC and DVD pl...

How to pick your first SET tube amp?
Get a pair of Decware SE-84C-S AMP run them as Mono and you will love them.Another choice if you like tubes is a Rogue 88 with those speakers.That was my first tube Experience and I loved those Triumphs with the 88's. 
Rogue Audio or Mcintosh
Listen to them both side by side.Thats the only way to tell. 
Monoblock disadvantage or...?
tubes,ground loop 
best budget hi-fi speakers for my specific system
Vandersteen 2 C 
Best tube pre-amp with remote vol. control
Rogue 66 or 99 at their price point's unbeatable. 
Warm, smooth cd with good bass under 1700 used ok
Stick to a one box player in your price range. 
need 5 speaker setup; have 1200
Its not ethical to Audition at a dealer with no intent to buy.Go to BEST BUY and the likes.Please dont waste the time of Hi End dealers if you only plan on using them and will buy from here. 
ANY VINYL IN NIAGARA FALLS?
I am going to NF this weekend Canadain Side if I run into any Viynl I will post here.Sorry if I pick all the good stuff first.Take care and enjoy your 99.I make do with a 66 for now.

Cable, hi-fi neophyte lost in Space
www.DIYcable.com.The stuff is hard to beat.I build the same stuff and it beats stuff 3/5 times and even 10 times the money.You have a nice system and it can get better without spending money on ego purchases.

The best Cleaning system out there is The Disc Doctor.It does not use a vacuum and works great.So anyone who makes a claim about if you go wet you must vacuum is dead wrong.The only drawback is you need elbow grease.That is the problem.Most people... 
Need suggestions for speakers, processor and amp
Firstly speakers must be positioned at ear Level to sound good.Dont waste your time mounting them in the ceiling.Also whatever you buy will not sound good placed in a cabinet.In your situation.Since your wife is more interested in looks than sonic...
