Is this Possible????
No, should work fine. 
Linn Klimax DS. How good is it?
Eli, The bass response is very extended and detailed. No mushiness or bloat. As far as being life-like, in my system its as life-like as I have heard. It will depend on how resolving the rest of your system is. 
Best digital stream player
Eelii08, The CD12 is a 10 year old design that was consided state of the art at the time. Linn has decided to focus on the DS instead of CD playback. Which I think more companies should do. Linn is just about 3 years ahead of most other highend co... 
Linn Klimax DS. How good is it?
I have a Akurate DS which is a step down from a Klimax DS. I love it. Its the only Linn piece of gear in my system. The rest of my system is an Aesthetix Callisto Partial Eclipse pre, Innersound DPR-500 reference amp, and Innersound Kaya loudspeak... 
how to side-grade from B&W 805's?
I had 805n. I moved on to Aerial model 6. The Aerials have a smoother treble and deeper bass. They should be a good fit in your room and are in your price range used. 
Aesthetix Collisto Signature or SLP 05 Preamp?
I have no experience with the Cary. However I have upgraded from a Calypso to a Callisto Signature. As good as the Calypso is the Callisto is in another league. If you have the space and the money I can't recommend it highly enough. Since I have g... 
HDMI cable made a difference in picture quality??
On my TV the HDMI cable was much worse than the component cable. That said the HDMI cable was a freebie from the cable company. Also maybe there was something wrong with the HDMI output on my cable box. I would try both and use which ever is better. 
Best Balanced Tube Preamplifier
I recommend the Aesthetix Callisto Signature if you have the rack space. They don't come up used very often though. 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Hi Dave,I had a great time and was glad I met you guys.The guys at Soundings were very gracious hosts. In fact I have never been treated better at any other stereo store. I did not mean to imply that they would not have let us try that combo. It w... 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
I was at Soundings with Guido and Dave and agree that the 312 was a much better match for the VA Die Muzick than the Boulder 2060 was. I also listened to the Criterion on the smaller VA Mahlers with the 312. I was impressed with this set up. It wa... 
Denon 3806 + B&W 803D....amp suggestions???
I would suggest the Parasound Halo A21 as a good lower budget solution. 250 watts per channel and sounds excellent. B&W speakers in general benefit from a good quality powerful amp. 
Aerial 9 vs Dynaudio Contour S 5.4
Depends on the size of your room. The Aerials are awesome as long as your room is at least 14x20 ft. I don't have any experience with the contours. 
What isolation feet to use??
I am using Herbies Iso-cups with lampblack balls under my Calypso and would highly recomend them. 
BAT Rex and Lamm 1.2 with WP8 synergy
I think you meant 100 ohm output for Bat Rex not 100 kohms. 100 ohms into 41 kohms should be no problem.No experience with Bat or Lamm. From looking at your system page it looks like you are going from the 32 to the Rex. If the Bat 32 worked well ... 
Top notch speakers with their own sub
Sanders Sound 10b or Innersounds.
