Budget Preformance / Power Cords and Interconects
Seabreeze,Simple or no-thats a good sounding one.They don't come up to often but Straighline makes/made some good PC,sounding better than ZU or Harmonic tech in my system with Preludes. 
Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 3/3000 Speaker
Thanks,very interesting and well written.I like Ohms but IMHO a toss up between 4K$ and a pr of MMG's easily found at %500 isn't much of a desision. 
Garrard 301-Worth the effort?
I knew a guy who was quite "handy" who gave up on a 301. 
Amy Winehouse.RIP
Disease? You go buy booze and drugs,not contract them. 
Amy Winehouse.RIP
I see nothing admirable about her and IMHO she had zero talent.Still, she was a fellow human being who does deserve our prayers and compassion. 
Speakers for Bryston
Some of the small KEF's like the 1.5 can be had cheaply and have a smooth but forward sound which is ideal for listening at low levels, which is why I used them in a den situation over Dyna 42's. 
Small monitors/bookshelves for classical music
KEF 103.2 would be a good choice.I recently picked up a pair of KEF 1.5 's which I found better than PSB Alpha B1in a den situation. but a 1st row presentation re the PSB darker mid-hall sound.Like you,I am a classical fan,having owned Paradigm Mi... 
Ohm Walsh 2000 vs MMG vs Vandersteen 2ce Sig?

Should I keep around my NAD 3155?
My AA Primo makes sweet sounds(litterally)with my Gallo Minis in bedroom. 
Review: Morrison Model 11 Monitor
Great review, I had a pair of the original Morrison copyof the Hegeman's which I foolishly let an ex-GF beat me out of-LOL.I still have a Hegeman Hapi II preamp which after 30 years still reproduces the harmonics of a string quartet better than an... 
Denon DL-110 vs. Goldring 1042
Not really,but I have used both carts on my Rega 2 with a Rega Phono amp and preferred the Denon.Nearly all my listening is Classical however,I'm pretty sure a rock fan would choose the Goldring. 
Most significant upgrade
Beyond all doubt, room treatment. 
Should I keep around my NAD 3155?
I would think one of the Italian Audio Analogue integratedamps would be a real step up.Also, they are quite small. 
Fried speaker comparison
You never know what will sound best with what.The variables in audio(in general?) are so many we don't even know what most of them are.I'm supossed to receive my Q/3's tomorrow,my initial guess is a Promethius TVC with AVA 260ex amp and DNM reson ... 
Anyone else really likes Shawn Lane?
Of copurse not,what they play is a major factor though.
