Where are the female Audiophiles?
If you know who does get elected, wouldn't it be great if she had an affair while in office. 
Silver cables
Go for the Clear Day cables... they're priced below you maximum budget and come with a 60 day return guarantee. 
Large Spikes for Amp Stand
loudspeakerstands.com has 2.5" spikes. 
Audiophile Grade Multi channel Power Amplifier
Check out the Ayre and Theta Digital amps. 
Pulling the trigger on pricey equipment
What about using Facetime. That way you get the meet the seller... and actually see the equipment you're buying. 
Need Speakers to be Close to Wall $10k budget
Outlier... Check out the Wilson Duette's. They come with two sets of speaker cable pigtails and resistors that re-configure them for placement either right up against a back wall... or out in the open. Wilson recently came out with the Duette II's... 
Duane Allman
This thread was serendipity because I had about given up on finding a new "Motel Shot" CD until I went on Amazon and found that a re-mastered version of "Motel Shot" had been released in June of 2013. 
Redbook CD Is Not Dead
IMHO, everything one has to do to get into computer audio sounds like punishment to me. I'll stick with my redbook and siding with what Chayro says about "a very good dedicated player", one of these days I'll grab one.

FUREZ products - anyone used them?
I like the configuration of the Banana Plugs. This whole line looks SOTA. 
Audience AR 12 TS vs Tesla PowerCell 10SE Mk III
Jazzonthehudson... My system is all Theta Digital and dead quiet to begin with. I can't say the same about my Pioneer flat screen and Comcast cable box.When I first got the aR6, my thoughts were that the aR6 was about as good as it'll ever get. Wh... 
Audience AR 12 TS vs Tesla PowerCell 10SE Mk III
I have both an aR6 and an aR6TS. Fooling around one day I put a Shakti Stone on top of the aR6TS and on top of that I put a VPI Brick. I don't know if it was the weight of the VPI Brick damping cabinet vibrations or the voodoo magic of the Stone a... 
Akiko Audio Tuning Sticks
These appear to be a similar concept to the AudioPrism Ground Control tweaks. The ability to strap them to the speaker cables is intriguing since I now have Wilson Duette speakers with external crossovers. 
Cable Costs Relative to System
Airegin... If the "self-righteous nincompoops" you're referring to are the same people that are asking the present administration to "stop spending money we don't have", I'm proud to be one of those a nincompoops.
