MHZS CD player
I have been using a CD88 for about six months and have had noproblems at all. I did a little tube rolling and put a goodpower cord on it. It is a great player. I can see no reasonto spend anymore for that hunt for better digital. 
Classé CDP-10 Impressions/Opinions?
I own a CDP-10 and recommend it highly. It has true balanced outputs and no upsampling. if you can get it for a good price then do. You would probably have to spend a lot more to get anything that sounds better. 
whats the finest recorded cd you've heard?

Any Young Audiophiles Out There?
I have invited young folks to come up to my room and listento what I consider high end. The problem I found was that they would not sit down long enough to compare the sound.They were impressed with the way the equipment looked and liked the room,... 
Small sub
I second the Mini-Vee. I am using a pair. One under each of my large monitors. They are able to keep up with the large monitors.It is if I made the 3-way monitors into 4-ways. 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Aw man, no question about it.Alison Krauss singing Empty Hearts and anything byCilette Swann of the group Gypsy Soul. 
your reference dvd
The series Planet Earth will take your breath away. They useultra high speed cameras to photograph.As far as a music video,I think the Eagles Farewell Tour is great.

A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help
I also upgraded the crossovers in my speakers.Some of the parts i replaced were very cheap. The upgrade made the speakers a lot cleaner, and I mean a lot.As with your connection question,why would a well known speaker builder go to the trouble to ... 
Bridged Spectral DMA 50?
I used two DMA90's bridged and found it to be great.I don't know how much more power you feel you need,butI am going to put a single DMA-90 on Audiogon in a few days.This would give you 100wpc. 
Velodyne Micro Vee
I have gone to the Mini-Vee. In fact I changed from one 12"Velodyne to two Mini-Vee's. I think the two smaller 8'subs work a lot better in my small room. 
Digital amps overhyped ?
