Help with new old Snell Type Js
Thanks everybody for the feedback. I like the stands in the pics Rustydog. I think I might make a set similar to those. I just got the re-foam kit and will get them done over the weekend. The more I look at the speakers the more I realize they are... 
Integrated with good headphone output
The Leben looks nice but it's a little over budget!I'll probably end up trying a dedicated headphone amp like the Aune, Project or similar. Anyone have an opinion on the Creek OBH11?Still wondering about the Anthems...kind of big, but they have go... 
Integrated with good headphone output
Thanks for the good ideas.I've notices that Anthem processors (AVM-20) have headphone outputs. Anyone have any experience with them? I've seen several recently for around $400. Seems like a great deal for a quality piece of equipment.

NAS or external hard disk for SQ Touch based syste
There is a lot of information about storage devices on the Squeezebox forums, so I would recommend you take a look there. One of the major differences is that a NAS device has a small processor and operating system. Many come preloaded with the Sq... 
The most creative word for plywood you know.
I always liked furniture from the "Early american pressed wood" era. Like my "cherry" bookshelves from Office Depot. 
New Rega DAC
Has anyone compared the Rega DAC to the Benchmark or W4S DACs around the same price? 
will an LK 140 & an LK 85 set up with active cards

Any "lifestyle" speakers actually good for music?
The Ord Audio speakers look pretty cool. They are visually similar to Gallo ADivas. Anyone actually heard them? I've read alot about the Def Techs, mostly in home theater mags vs stereo mags. I'll have to go give them a listen. 
Lexicon BD-30 universal player
What Marantz model is equivalent to the RT-20? I've heard good buzz on these forums on the RT-20. 
Benchmark Dac1 Versions
Kijanki,Thanks for the detailed explanation. I was thinking about a used Dac1 so I will probably contact Benchmark with a serial number if I find a good candidate. I may spend a little more for a Dac1 USB for future resale value and flexibility. S... 
SACD Multichannel player - $400 budget
Sony DVP-NS9100ES and 9000ES DVD/CD players do multichannel SACDs. Both are becoming pretty cheap these days. The 9100ES also has a great picture, although I'm sure you've already got that covered. I have the 9100 and it sounds very good to me on ... 
processor that could serve as a good preamp
So how would an older higher end processor like the Cary, Anthem or HTS2 compare to a new model like the Integra DTC 9.8/9.9? Is decoding the high res formats and room correction software mostly an advantage for movies and not music? I am also loo...
