What's the best Sony CD/SACD player?
TvadWhat do you think?Insightful. 
Hooking up 2 amps to one set of speakers

Receivers
I have the Onkyo TX-NR905 (not the 906) and am very happy with it. I like it much more than the Denon 3808CI I had briefly. Plenty of power, easy to set up, sounds really good for an AVR. Decodes the new Hi-Rez Blu-Ray audio codecs. HDMI 1.3 switc... 
Best HT starter system?

Beatles covers: better than originals?
Elton's Lucy in the Sky better than the original?That's funny.Audiofeil-"Better" is subject to opinion. If you read my post the first sentence was "Here are a few I like:". No insinuation of which was better. Even though that was the OP question, ...

Either of those TT's would be ideal to start with. I started with a music hall 2.1 and really saw (heard!) how enjoyable vinyl is! It's now my favorite source.
