Best Audio Format for Apple I-Pod
Both AIFF and Apple lossless have the same resolution, they should sound the same. Since Apple lossless takes about half as much space. I would go with Apple lossless. 
CD red book,sacd or dvd-a playback choices
You compared a $34,000 CD playback system to a $3,000 SACD player and concluded that the $34,000 system is better?

I am sure bi-amping four VK-150SEs will work very well. You can also connect two VK-150SEs together and make a 300W mono on each side. The only problems are electric power and heat. These BATs run really hot and draws 500W at idle and 1000W at ful...

I see you have a MC-2000. Have you tried that on the 800N? I am not sure the BATs are better than the Mac. 
How to burn CD with CD text?
Thank you all for the information.I have been using Easy CD Creator that came with my PC but it doesn't seem to generate CD text from the track names I typed in. I think I am going to get a copy of Nero this weekend.Thanks again. 
BAT VK-xx owners: Where do you buy 6c33b tubes?
I bought 8 6C33C-B from Anthony Welsh for about $100 including shipping to U.S. The tubes were shipped from Russia and took a few weeks to arrive.Here is the web site.http://www.anthonywelsh.com/?action=browse_items&sid=16 
Should the platter and plinth be level?
Slate,The RB-700 is a bearing arm, which requires a leveled pinch (actually the arm board). Otherwise, the arm will put more pressure towards the lower side.On the other hand, a unipivoted arm (i.e. VPI JMW) is self-leveled which requires a levele... 
Best way of removing rust from silver or other
You can use an eraser to rub off the oxidation. It is cheap, safe, and leaves no chemical. You should use the one for removing ink from ballpoint pen, not the one for removing pencil marks. 
Front projection or not?
I don't think you can get a front projector, 60" plasma or LCD flat planel TV for $3K. So the only choice will be a RPTV. 
Most expencive stereo ever
Once you own speakers like this, what is next? You can only downgrade from here. That takes most of the fun out of this hobby. So what is the point owning it? 
Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued
What a shame in deed. I consider this cart being the best value today. Well, I guess nothing lasts forever. 
JBL L-300 summit
17x20 isn't that small. I would get the L-300 Summit.

How small is your room? 
What to do? Converting from 220v mains to 110v
1) Hard to tell. That depends on the equipment you use and the quality of the transformer. In some situations, if you are not using autoformer type transformer, you may actually see improvement in sound because of power line isolation.2) If I were... 
JBL lovers
If you like classic rock you really should look into the JBL 4300 series. My favor is the 4350, which is a four way with dual 15” woofers, a 12” mid-bass, a mid-range horn, and a crystal tweeter. If it is too big you might want to consider the 434...
