CJ ET3 SE Preamp for a CJ Premier 11A amp?
Normally, I don't pay any attention to what reviewers say, but the one you quote may be relevant. Your 11a is a very laid back component. If the ET3 is similar in sonic character, it really may be too much of a good thing. The 17 may be a better o... 
AV Receiver Underpowered?
My post from before was wrong. I did a search for some images of your amp so I could look at the connections on the back. I didn't realize it but the pic I found was of a different Denon. 
Budget cable chaos??? Is River Cable the new star?
"Why not look at budget cables from companies that are more established?"That was what I said above. I really have no idea how long River cables have been in business, but they're not as well established as companies like AQ, Kimber, Cardas etc.. ... 
MC501 or MC601 or something else for B&W 802N?
"I'm really considering using pro amps to biamp or going $$$$ mono blocks."Pro amps are usually much lower quality than high end amps. Bryston is an exception. Also, if you are going biamp, would it be vertical or horizontal? 
Vandersteen Treo in 24ftx22ft i.e 528sqft room?
Actually, I have the 1's, 2's and 3's. All are current production as far as I know. I have heard the Treo, but not next to any of the other models. The Treo's are excellent speakers but I'm pretty sure they were made for appearance purposes. Given...

"Once burned to CD, the resolution will be 16/44, not 24/192."That may not be the only case. I have an Alessis Masterlink 9600 that can burn 24/96 to CD-R's. You only get about 20min per CD and you need to play it back on something that supports t...

Rowland. It will help deal with the aggressive tweeter in the 802N's.

I'm not sure I understand what you are looking for here."NOTE: Please, don't just respond by saying: "you will have to JUST try them to see what works in your system" Oh, bollocks!!! as the Brits say. The Audio business is not a consortium of rovi... 
Replacing the stock power cable of the TT
Photon46 is right. You can put a different PC on your Rega but it won't do anything. 
Vandersteen Treo in 24ftx22ft i.e 528sqft room?
You won't have a problem using the Treo's. If it were me, however, I would go with a pair of 2's or 3's. They don't use a box and they're a lot cheaper. To me, they sound better.

Look at the rear of your AV1908. Look for the word caution inside a box. Above the work Caution there are 2 triangles. Once you locate that box with the 2 triangles, look to the left. Those are your preouts.

Need Preamp Advice For Adding a Turntable
"How does running the Wadia directly into the amp compare to the Calypso? I have that option with the PS Audio DAC, but have not tried it. Before the PS Audio DAC, I had a Wyred4Sound DAC 2 with a digital volume control and preferred a preamp with... 
AV Receiver Underpowered?
In a situation like yours, the easiest way is to listen. Its not hard to hear if an amp is straining. Reading through your post, it most likely is. Since you already have the Denon, maybe keep it and use it as a preamp. It should have preouts for ...
