Klipsch Image S3 broke How to fix/new IEM's?
You can try and repair them but those little tiny wires are a pain in the a$$. I love the Klipsch S4s for a small step up. 
How many still listen to CD's daily.
Another one split between music server and cds. The way it works for me is I'll listen to the server for a week or two and then switch back to cds. The switch to cds usually happens when I buy a bunch of new stuff. But generally listen to one or t...

Hybrid Integrated Amps: Any Good?
Another very satisfied Unison Research Unico user here. Don't ask how many different amps I've owned because I can't remember them all. The little Unison just may be the one to end my search. For now anyway. 
Best $1,500-ish New or Used Floorstander -
You have the perfect room for Vandersteen 2Ce.Rrog+1 on the Vandersteens. Although at your price you should look at the Signature or SignatureII series.The only problem I see is getting full size speakers shipped. It can be hazardous. Look for a l...

Moving across country with over 1000 LP's
Well packed lps can go pretty much anywhere. Years ago I shipped a few hundred lps over seas with household goods. They went by sea so I'm figuring they were subject to a lot more than standard movers would do. Oh yeah, they came back three years ... 
Sony CDP-C79ES strange behavior
While it's not unusual for electronic devices to work for 20 or thirty years, it's also not unusual for them to quit working. It's twenty years old. Time for a replacement.Unless of course the above advice works. 
Von Schweikert VR-1 speaker:quality sound or hype?
As stated above, I owned the VR-1s years ago and the speaker that replaced them was the Vandersteen 1C which I consider one of the best budget speakers available (especially used). And the angle is critical. In a small room very little rake angle ...

Von Schweikert VR-1 speaker:quality sound or hype?
TgrishamIf you can find them, buy them and try them out.+1 on that advice. I had a pair years ago and while they are fine speakers, nothing they did made me keep them. 
New Room Long wall or short wall?
Short wall. My first dedicated room was 10x15 and getting the distance behind the speakers seemed crucial. I did not have to toe my speakers in as radically as suggested above but experimentation with toe in is an easy tweak.Most definitely treat ... 
Popular Female Singers in the past 2 decades
At this particular moment I've started to collect Jane Siberry records that I did not value before (whatta fool!). I purchased her record (Bound By the Beauty) in mint condition more than decade ago that I listened only once and in the background ...
