Linn Upgrades
My local dealer said the sub chassis will be milled billet aluminum and the Ekos as mentioned above. Take a look at the new sterephile. Dudly is looking at some non-linn upgrades. 
The Outlaw ruins X-mas
Sounds like an omen to me. Cancel the order and find something equivilant locally. This may be a prelude to bad service should a problem arise. 
Rock Concerts through your rig?
Red Rocks, Moody Blues with Denver Symphany Orchestra, the only concert that I would say sounded great. 
dvd/sacd multichannel player...suggestions?
I would say look at AudioGon for used Denon or Marantz. You would get more for the money. 
Same manufacturer for pre & amp?
I have been using a McIntosh MX135 with 2 Mc amps and have been happy but considering looking (er listening) to Ayre or BAT amps in the system. Just haven't taken the time to drag one home yet. To answer your question. I think it is a good idea to... 
Shutting off amp noise
Is it through both channels? And is it a slight buzzing (similar to a fruit fly) that fades in about 5 seconds or less? 
Glider upgrade?

Joey my point exactly. Once they associate the pain with the equipment they will move on.....to your listening chair 
Anyone own a Running Springs Audio power cond.
I just bought a Jaco demo from the Rky Mtn Audio Fest and I couldn't be happier, well maybe if was free. Now I need to save up for a Haley for my video cabinet.

A bed of nails would cure the sleeping cats choice of bed 
Looking for CD player with volume control?
I saw a Linn Genki listed recently here on AudioGon within the past few day. A great player with some nice features. 
AHs anyone heard the new Ayre MX-R mono blocs?
They are the best I have heard in any price range. I have listened to Linn Akurates and Vandy Quattros in the dealers showroom, and If I had the means I would have a pair in black. 
Ayre Monoblocks vs. Linn Klimax Solo 500s
I have heard them both just not at the same time to do a fair AB comparison. However I can say that the Ayre caught me with much more impact than I ever remember getting out of the Linn. The local dealer sells both and it would be interesting to d...
