Where does the designation of "Audiophile" fit...
Upon further reflection...if I had to choose between music and the Cardinals, I would choose music, not that I don't love the Cardinals.#4 - Music Lover/Audiophile#5 - Arizona Cardinals fan

How about a contest?
I don't think your idea is very relevant, or practical for that matter. It would be nice, however, if Audiogon created an optional searchable field for geographical location. This way if someone was visiting a given locale, it would be easier to h... 
TV's... what does the typical audiophile have?

What high-end cdp for low-end quality CD's ?
The Audio Synthesis DAX Discrete handles less than stellar CD's with aplomb. You could purchase their Basic DAC with your budget. If you want a digital only system perhaps you could apply your preamp budget and go with the Variable model direct to... 
DACs: Burmester vs. Meitner vs. dcs
Sm2727, you can add the Audio Synthesis DAX Discrete as another digital component that sounds great straight into an amp, even through a lengthy interconnect. I have had mine connected with 50' Mogami Neglex microphone cables with truly great resu...
