Best sounding FM table radio ever made...

best external drive for ripping CDs
As long as you own the CD you have the fair use to rip it to your personal computer(s).  If you then sell or trade the CD, then you no longer have the fair use of the ripped files.  
Esoteric VRDS-NEO not reading discs
The are several threads about Esoterics authorized repair centers.  WARNING, you will not enjoy reading them.  
Ultimate stereo nightmare
Glad for the happy outcome! However, I will digress and tell a tale.  Back in the day when I was a rider at least once or twice a year I'd run across this situation.  There would be an old guy, probably my age now, whose bike had tipped over and... 
Any racks that use coasters/ wheels ?
To the OP, why start a post if you've already made up your mind and are not interested in other peoples' experience and opinions?  Just curious.  
Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis?
I believe early perfectionist audio systems were derived from equipment used in moving picture show houses.  There has been much evolution since.  
Help me make sense of this - Midfi system sounding better hifi.
The Klipsch is more dynamic than the B&W?  Who would of thought. Why do you call the system mid-fi?  High end is more a frame of mind coupled with a methodology.

Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to
If she's good enough for Ray Charles and Willie Nelson, then she's real good.  Just listen, or not listen and judge her by her music.  Trying to label her a nepo baby is misleading.  
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
Exactly what is your desired volume level in dBs.  It makes a difference.  
Songs of debauchery and excess
Sly & the Family Stone "I Wanna' Take You Higher" Robert Johnson "Stop Breaking Down" Parliament "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker)"  
Preamp with two volume controls?
You're really using two McIntosh C50 preamps in a stereo setup?  Your description and reasoning makes no sense.  
I can't believe this.
Sounds like capitalism to me.  Would you like it better if there was coach, business or first class service?  
Are solo efforts ever better?
Sometimes it's not that clear cut.  Brian Wilson post Beach Boys may have an artistic edge, but certainly not popularity.  Frank Zappa post Mothers Of Invention by volume alone overwhelms the earlier work. Nile Rodgers production work after Chic ...
