Stop compression of music petition via Stereophile
I'm with you MAPMAN. Good(but sad) analogy. Plus you (I) need good speakers to really enjoy fuller dynamic range. 
Happy music...
MOFI I'm still enjoying Steely Dan on radio. VSOLLOZZO, thats a goldmine. I don't know Zoom Zoom Bacala-but will check it out. I am sort of hoping guys will post specific albums or CD's with titles. As a record, CD-(well, music) collector it's wha... 
Happy music...
BRAUSER- i'm with you on the Polka music. Brings me back to dances at a Ukranian Orhodox church in Montreal late '60's.5/6 piece band, including my Uke friend Lisney on sax (departed), Vodka shots and very pretty Ukranian lasses to whirl around. P... 
Powerconditioners for digital?
That sounds like it would provide total isolation, and conditioning.Did it have have a significant effect on the sound? 
Need Speakers to be Close to Wall $10k budget
Go with electrostatics with low bass output. A bit of wall treatment and you'll be finer.

Room treatments on the ceiling?

Best Universal Player as transport for under $500?
You might find a Lexicon RT-20 decent. 
"Biasing" a crossover- with batter power?
Thanks Peter. I am going to see what I can learn of my crossover from B&W. Why would 18V be better? By the way someone commented about "bypassing" the capacitors, with smaller value ones, as beneficial. Your thoughts? Thank you. Pete 
Redbook CD Is Not Dead
I am very pleased with most CD's now that I've a "decent" player and adapted my system to play them decently(isolating the digital). I've collected records for a very long time. It was never the case that "all" or even "most" vinyl records sounded... 
Equitech with digital only?
Knghifi. Did you ever use it just for your digital?Do you any other conditioner? 
Mass and vibration cancelling on top of CD player?
Thanks Rhyno.10/4 
Optimal vertical position of bass traps in corner?
Kr is right. However the interplay of sound pressure in a room is complex. I would experiment. Couches and chairs + decor have can be used to good effect on the ground. Try upper front corners to start. Enjoy the process. It will make you a better...
