Break in blues
I can understand the concepts of a break-in period. Makes sense actually, particularly with tubes, which I have.  Then again, I have had s many variables with my system that it is hard to isolate the sound changes due to one factor - like a break-... 
If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be?
One thing I know for sure is I would pick double or three LP sets. Then I double or triple the listening pleasure. 
What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital?
I love  Hope by Hugh Masekela.Just can't understand how the finesse of a fine audio system makes Black Sabbath better.  But maybe I just need to try it. 
Personal vs. Market Values
I love good music and quality audio.  I have no place in my pantry for Truffle anything. 
BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER
Holy Smokes!  Choosing between Ella, Aretha, Sarah Vaughan?  I can't do it.  Was always favorable to Big Maybelle! 
BEST MALE VOCAL EVER
Put on some headphones and listen to Robert Johnson sing Dead Shrimp Blues..  WowAlways was partial to some early sides from Luther Allison.  Really great voice.  Check out the stuff from the Ann Arbor Blues Festival. 
What is the Best LP Cover Art for you Wall
Oh Yes - Forgot that I have the Zappa's Grand Wazoo up there.  King Crimson is a good one as is PG3. early Roxy is a great choice as well.  Thanks for the ideas.  I'm going to add a new row. 
The current best band in the world?
Hands Down my favorite for the past 2-3 years is the Tedeschi Trucks Band.  They are Delaney & Bonnie merged with Mad Dogs & Englishman without any of the drugs.  Go see them live.  They are fantastic. 
Best Ripping Software
Thanks @tom6897.  I forgot about EAC. I've had it on my old PCs for years now.  You are right that it is the best.  Then, what do I use to go in and change the track/title information?  That is more of a struggle.
