Are there any really good cd cleaners out there?
91% isopropanol is all you need! Give a CD a good spray rinse and let air dry for a few minutes!

I have one of his TFM amps and it has yet to catch fire! Should I keep an extinguisher handy?

His new tube amps look impressive!

Caver Silver 7 T mono amps 450 watts. Can challenge any Krell, Pass, Rowland, etc. for SQ! 
Emerald Physics: Ultimate Bang for the Buck?
Glad you enjoy them! I believe that REG gave them a very positive review some years ago in TAS! He really liked them and praised their openness and neutrality! 
eminent technology 8b - need help
Excellent planar speakers. IMO much better than any Magneplanar!

Beginner system(again)!
If that's too expensive then there's a Yamaha M-40 power amp (with front panel level controls) for $175 - and FREE shipping! Hard to beat this one! 
Beginner system(again)!

Which is the best audio magazine?
The two Peters (Aczel and Moncrieff) remain the best objectivest reviewers in print to this day! And hated by the "golden ears" crowd! 
Anybody want to talk about the JBL studio 590?
No surprise here as JBL has been making high quality speakers for decades! I like and own some of their vintage gear (L56, L166 and 4312). And for a while had a pair of 640's. I thought Pink Floyd's DSOTM never sounded better played back over the ...
