CDP directly into amp?
Yes you can. Ideally your CD player will have a quality volume control, high output, and low out put impedance. Your interconnect should be short and have low capacitance. The McCormack amps are particularly good choice due to their rather high (f... 
Is this amp good for my setup?
I like the Vandersteens 2's very much. The B&K ST-140 will work well with them. Richard Vandersteen told me this himself. That said I think you can do better. 
Build me a killer Rock/Metal Rig for 1K
David, I understand your wish list. Now let's get real. Some one on a tight budget should forget remote controlled tubes. To expensive to start with. An older model will probably need new tubes. That means more money. Most tube preamps have high o... 
Loudspeakers that match well w/Bryston B-60?
With that kind of budget I can't help if wonder if you would be better off selling the Bryston (no offense to the Bryston intended) and starting from scratch.

I remember and miss Carl. 
ONE shot to show off your System's Stuff
Talk about reducing everything to "sound bites". 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
Asa, I'm disappointed. I thought if any one could see whats around my neck, it would be you. Hint, it's the thread. 
Spica TC-50's vs 60's. Differences + Maintanence.
I believe the TC-60's were designed by John Bau before selling the company to Parasound(?). The TC-60's were ported and went quite a bit deeper than the TC-50's (low 30's HZ). The TC-50's had a reputation for blowing tweeters. I'm struggling to re... 
Best used speakers around 500 for clasic rock
Considering your placement issues I think the Klipsch and Linn products might work. I think your CJ might be just the ticket to tame the (IMHO) hot Linn top end. 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
Sean, thanks for the reply. I meant any future experience with MIT. Now if I can only get you to reveal your secret bargain preamp. 
Cardas Caps on unused digital jacks?
Are these better than shorting plugs? 
It's Magnepan 20.1's or B&W Nautilus 801's
For what ever it's worth I prefer the Maggies. If it's truly a toss up, perhaps what will work best in your room should decide. Ideally you could find a dealer that carries both. 
Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music?
Ice cold scotch, wine and chocolate. No wonder we have so many different views. 
Potential problem with sale.
IMHO every case is different enough that a standard policy probably won't work. 
Where do I position 4 speakers for 3D stereo sound
In my very,very,very (did I mention how very) humble opinion you are embarking on an excericise in futility.
