Interconnect recommendations for BlueSound Vault 2 to my Marantz 7702MKii
Thanks.  I'll check them out.  The local store MSRP prices are a hard to swallow.   
Help me set up new stereo system
I decided to try and make this simple for myself so I bought a Gen II Salk StreamPlayer, will connect via USB and will use my Oppo bdp83 for the few DVD and SACD's I own. I'll download mPod and mPad apps to control the Salk unit. 
FYI Pink Floyd
Had the pleasure of meeting Nick Mason and had a quick chat about cars. Also met Roger several times. The new album is mostly instrumental.The Division Bell box set is said to one of the best sounding recordings. My box set will arrive this week. 
Your last concert was to see who and when?

Help me set up new stereo system
I'm beginning to make sense of things now. Since there are a few absolute things on my listening list, I will purchase them on CD. I'll research on how to put these various recording formats (SACD, DTS, 5.1 mixes, etc) into my harddrive, whatever ...

And if I buy a few high resolution albums from DSD what format will they download in? Will iTunes be OK or should I use something like Jriver or Amarra?Thanks again for all the help.

I agree that my library is low quality. But I want to change that and it does not need to be an overnight thing. I don't mind building up my library into high quality/high resolution files. If I need to use my Oppo BDP83 player for a while and buy...

Right now all of my music is on my MacBook Pro that the whole family uses for general use. I'm open to suggestions as far as buying a PC and external HD, and also to buying a Mac Mini. I'm really just looking for some guidance. Every place that I ... 
$10K or less speakers for 20x20 rm with open back
Once I listened to the Revel Studio 2 the decision was pretty easy. It just seemed to be the most well rounded speaker. Beautiful highs, well defined mids and good bass. Others seems to be stronger in one category and slightly lacking in the other...

Decision made. Revel Studio 2 and Hegel H300.Is a Mac Mini the best, most reasonable way to get my iTunes music to the Hegel? I keep hearing about Jriver as a good way to manage the music library. 
$10K or less speakers for 20x20 rm with open back
So far it's pretty close between the Focal 1038be and the Aerial 7T. Going to listen to Revel Studio 2's on Friday. Hopefully after that I will be able to make a decision. Then comes the fun of picking an integrated amp and figuring out how to pla...

$10K or less speakers for 20x20 rm with open back
I am about 50/50 on attending the CAF, all depends if I can hold out that long and also if a killer deal should come up. I do think even the Focal 1027 would work (the ones listed on here) but I have a tendency to go bigger. That's why I am lookin...

Also looking at Revel Studio 2. Open to suggestions. 
Preachtree Nova220se compared to Devialet
I'll admit that I'm all over the place on this. Been out of this for so long everything is brand new to me. Especially the source and streaming part. What ever happened to walking over to the CD player, going through your 300 CD's and picking an a...
