best budget pre used
I use a Counterpoint 7.1 tube pre with an ST 140 and have always found a nice synergy between the two. Have driven both MMG's and Sound Dynamics RTS 3's with the setup. The Counterpoint has a very nice phono section as well. I have seen them poste... 
Best Maggie Tweaks/upgrades
I mounted cone feet on the bottoms of my MGIIIA's and then coupled that to 1 1/2 inch thick granite slabs which sit on the floor. 
Any fellow 'Heads out there?

Any fellow 'Heads out there?
For me, Watkins Glen July 27, 1973 (the day before, Soundcheck show). Been hooked ever since. I have about 100 shows under my belt, did the whole taper bit, right up till '95. Collected a boatload of memorabilia, shirts, posters, vinyl, all the "D... 
Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't
To follow up Lugnut's response:Ask her to get rid of that pesky non period gas or electric range, swap out the 'fridge for an icebox or rootcellar, and by all means, the microwave has got to go...

Best bargain find ever ?
Over the past weekend, I picked up a Nakamichi CD4 single disc player with box and remote, excellent physical and mechanical condition for 10.00. Don't know a damn thing about it. Little help here? 
need a $200-$300 interim amp
Look around for a used B&K ST140. I have seen them for 275 - 400. They are great amps and tend to sell very quickly. You may like it so much, you will forget about getting a Bryston at all.

Most achingly-beautiful music
"Lux Aeterna" written by Morton Laurensden. Choral piece for voice and orchestra. There is a recording out by the LA Master Choral and Orchestra that is just stunning. Haunting, beautiful ethereal music. I am going to see a live performance this S...
