ECD1 similar cd players
IMO, they have a pretty different sound. BTW, its EMC-1. the EMC is a more "tube like" sound, even though the AA actually has tubes. I found the AA to be quicker and more detailed, not as warm. The EMC was great when I had SS amp, but got to be to... 
I need a 20 or 25 foot headphone cable
Do you want an extension or do you want a 20-25'er that goes in one piece from the driver units to the amp? If the former, they are available lots of places. For the latter, it would be available from many diff. aftermarket cable vendors, such as ... 
more reliable amp: tube or solid state class A
And amid the warm glow (shameless tube analogy) creating by listening in on a "conversation" btwn 2 audio greats, lets not lose sight of the most impt point. In summary, the point of this post is that the buyer should pay less attention to amp nam... 
How do you pay? Why?
Personally, I see the shipping aspect as more the chancier endeavor than the payment. There is far greater control in the funds transfers for both buyer and seller than is in the shipping exercise by far.You got that right, bro!!! 
Teres still the way to go?
LOL, Kurt. What I hoot. I may have to get one to play the records I trashed in the 60's.

Armboard
A few hundred for a drilled acrylic armboard!!!! And I thought that the SOTA Cosmos multi-layer acrylic/lead/damping compound board was pricey at just over $200. 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Haven't been following this thread, so apologies if it has been mentioned. In terms of achingly beautiful, how about Patty Loveless "They Never Left Harlan Alive". 
Shipping - Who's Resposible for Receipt of Item?
The one time UPS will pay is when they lose something. Whether they would have considered it lost under those circumstances is another matter..... 
bi-amp with a tube amp and SS
Pre-amp w/ 2 outputs OR a Y cable. They can be custom made with one RCA male on the upstream end, 2 on the downstream end, as long as you need, by most cable-makers. 
A man with a flute
Jean-Paul Rampal??? 
Tubes for BAT VK60. Need help
I thini Andy's description of the 3 NOS tubes is on the money. The mil spec 6sn7 is a VT231. The idea that the Thor could cause the tubes in the amp to fail seems to me to be nonsense, but it is true that if the BAT design runs the tubes at a high... 
New to headphones - what amp, source?
Smatsui gives v. good advice.
