Am I missing something in the MFSL Tarkus LP
The original is not bad though and the remastered CD is pretty good too.

I think Tarkus is a great album but the Mofi version doesn't sound any better than the standard issue. 
Will a DVD player work with a computer monitor?
I don't know of any computer monitor that has an S video output. Unless of course it is also a TV. 
Will a DVD player work with a computer monitor?
All you really need is a video card with a composite or S video input. You may even find one with component inputs.Or,check with a company called Audio Authority and they will probably have a convertor to make a regular DVD player work with a comp... 
Does the amp wattage make a big difference?

What are the perils of shipping worldwide?
I used the US Postal service to send a Marantz amp to China with no problems. I was paid first of course. Paypal is good for that. 
Stereo amp to drive one center channel speaker?
Most modern amps can be played without a speaker connected. But some amps require a load or damage can occur. This is especially true for tube amps. You can put an 8ohn resistor across the unused speaker terminals if you are not sure. 
Vinyl and slurring S'es
