Beautiful Vocals...
Sarah Brightman - UKSimone Simons - Netherlands 
NAD 1000 preamp
I can only comment about its performance with headphones, the HD600's sounded good. Controlled bass, and nice instrument separation with classical and jazz. 
Mcintosh or Wyred4Sound?
Let us know the associated gear. 
This may sound a bit silly but why are so many
One reason, Upgradeitis. 
Worst CD player
NAD C545BEE. Harsh and no bass. 
Capacitor question
A recap will usually sound different at first. I remember when i recapped my preamp, i was disappointed. It sounded boring and lifeless, after a month or so it became a new machine. 
Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No
SS with the right set of speakers = perfect for rock. 
Jackie Gleason - wow
You can always find treasures on Thrift stores. I picked up a few cd's on mint condition. Gleason was born to make us laugh. :) 
Screech when turning tube pre on
Internal components damaged? such as caps. Or maybe there's a tube that needs to be replaced. Atmasphere recommendation makes sense. 
Best amp for Meadowlark Blue Herons?
The synergy between The blue herons and Bat gear is astounding from what my friends told me. Get a bat Pre with a SS or tube amp of your choice. 
is lamm 1.2 enough for sasha
Indeed the Lamm M1.2 has been used with wilson speakers at hi-fi shows. Take a look:http://www.avguide.com/blog/the-lamm-wilson-summit-nyc 
Squeezebox Line Comes to an End
Rip SB. You served well for years. Everything comes to an end sadly. :\ 
Tube amp $500 for LCD-2
I know a few SS amps that have the tubey sound characteristics and works well with the Audez'e. Unfortunately they are a bit out of your price range. 
Free stuff you didn't know you needed
I love Mcintosh glowing blue meters. It should be good. :) 
Newly Modded KWA 150 to SE
I've heard a few friends talking about the KWA 150 and heard nothing but positive comments. Im looking forward to demo this unit.
