Cayin A-88t OR Cayin A-100T for Sonus Faber Cremon
I would go the A-100T as it would be easier to bias tubes with its built in meter. 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Too many listed that I agree with...let me just add Carol Kidd! 
Integrated $500-1K for Classic Jazz
You might also consider a Cayin A-50 that you can pick up for usually under $800. Great construction and great sound for little $$$'s 
What subwoofer to use with Maggies?
A friend of mine is using a pair of Quad subs with the 3.6's with excellent results. 
Need $1500 integrated amplification suggestions...
For something completely different...how about a Quad 909 and 99 preamp? Musical and reliable...will also allow easier future upgrade. Can pick up the pair for under $1500 easy. 
Christmas Jazz Anybody?
George Shearing, Mel Torme, Dave Brubeck, and Oscar Peterson all have jazzy Christmas CD's on the Telarc label. If you like big band jazz, there was an album of Mobil Fidelity a number of years ago, but I can't remeber title. 
Schemaitc for McIntosh MAC-1900
there use to be a guy called "techman777" who made outstanding copies of manuals for sale on ebay. i have both service and owners manuals for mcintosh 1900 from him. i see he is no longer a registered user on ebay but maybe someone may know who he... 
Your First Concert was.....
My first concert was at Valparaiso University. We saw Black Oak Arkansas and Brownsville Station (no comments please) but the next week we saw Edgar Winter. We use to see Styx alot at the Hammond Civic Center for $2.00 when there was nothing else ... 
Amp or Integrated amp for Quad ESL-63's?
If your room is not too big, the Cayin A50 for 1300 new runs Quad USA 63's very well for the price. I am using in a den and it is a very good affordable combination. Clean looks and useable remote are bonuses above and beyond the sound/price level. 
Integrated amp for Quad 22L?
I have 22L's in 1 of my systems. I have used both Quad 909 amp/99 preamp/99 cd as well as Cayin a-50t. Instead of int. amp. why not Quad 99 amp/preamp? You should be able to get a similar price for the seperates compared to the Cayin. I think the ... 
The 1970's Infinity QLS 1...How would it compare?
it would be a sentimental journey only. tweeter to midrange to woofer integration as mentioned above was poor due to drivers used. also i never had a pair of speakers eat power the way those qls-1's did. the crossover was crude by today's standard... 
Quad 909 Amp or VK200?
i have never heard the vk, but i have used the 909 for 3 years with shahinian's and quad 63's with great success. it has never failed to deliver the goods, especially for its price. best of all, it does not need frequent updating, tweaking, etc to...

merganser,you have your right to offer your comments but i feel your answer is what is specifically what is wrong with high end audio today. i have been involved on the retail side of audio since the mid seventies and a music lover of all types of...
