Least compressed
Rock recordings of that era are notoriously compressed.While I like Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith very much,both bands put out some of the worst recordings ever,especially when transferred to cd.You might want to pick up a Japanese engineered re-rele... 
Paradigm Studio 60 v5 somewhat boomy
Experiment with speaker placement before spending any money for other things.My Paradigms sounded best at least 2ft from the back and side walls.Good luck. 
Canare 14-4 in a single long run?
Two 14awg conductors connected together roughly equals one 11awg conductor.The 14awg will be fine for a 100ft run,but,if you use a sgl run of the 4S11,you will be stripping a lot of the outer sheathing off that will negate the "star quad"configura... 
What's the best system in the world?

Retro Sound amp Co.
There are very few vendors,especially overseas, that will continue to answer e-mails,phone calls,etc. if they don't think you are going to buy something eventually.Just a thought.

High end tube Preamp under $4k used that competes
Why not get a Cary SLP 05? You should be able to find a used one with your budget.Just a thought.Good luck.

WHICH TUBE AMP TO BUY
Everyone can hear you.You don't have to SHOUT !!!! 
Home theater seating
Google "home theater seating" you will find a vast amount of information. 
Best used preamp processor
What's "best" for Joe Blow will not nesessarily be what's "best" for you.Kal does bring up a valid point if you want to get some reccomendations.Good luck. 
How are Mullards supposed to sound?
You have experienced one of the pratfalls of tube rolling.You probably read about the "Mullard sound" and was expecting this with the tubes you installed,which are I suspect,reissues.The warm,lush "Mullard sound" comes from NOS or used old(origina... 
Playback Designs MPS-5 Review in Stereophile
I think there was a thread that was taken down because we can't criticize Fremer on Audiogon. 
connecting two speaker cables together
Is there any way to connect the two together, without removing the spades, so that I have one twelve foot cable?Sure,bolt them together and insulate the connection.Now what it does to the characteristics of the cable,you'll have to speak with some... 
New HT system
If I had a $7500.00 budget,I'd buy something new with a warranty.That's a lot of money(to me anyway)to fork out for something that may crap out tomorrow with no recourse.$7500.00 will buy you a great audio section for a HT system.This of course is...
