Mac Mini Questions
Buy the newer mac mini with the wireless N instead of adding a wireless adapter.or you could hook up a external USB CDROM for ripping duties. Don't know if Itunes can rip multiple drives at the same time like a PC. 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
Alectiong: Congrats on the Upgrade!Are you keeping your Lamm ML2.1's to power the Isis or changing amps? Just curious? 
Clearaudio Emotion CMB or JA Michell TecnoDec?
Congrats! The killer MM cart really seals those deals! 
Clearaudio Emotion CMB or JA Michell TecnoDec?
Or instead you move up to the Clearaudio Performance Table combo..once again spend as much as you can on the initial table because upgrades are more expensive. Otherwise a Champion Series Clearaudio Table lets you do all sorts of upgrades. 
Clearaudio Emotion CMB or JA Michell TecnoDec?
The CMB bearing is amazing and the Clearaudio cart makes that a really good deal. The TecnoDec is also an excellent table.unfortunately both tables are not really upgradeable other than arms... and you could put a Technoarm on the Tecnodec, but yo... 
Magnepan difference of 20 and 20.1 ?
20's like to be biamped with an active crossover, and the 20.1 sound better single amp and passive crossover. Or you could say the 20's didn't sound as good with the passive crossover. 
Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass?
Madfloyd,Don't bother changing your excellent amps, I used Citadels on my WP7's and Maxx2, and they are not lean, I did however find my older MIT cables output more low bass and sacrificed some of the upper mid bass (but that was 8 years ago and I... 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
Alectiong: If you have Lamm ML2.1's the Maxx 3's are much easier to drive than the Maxx 2's I owned the Maxx 2's and now have Max 3's. My Lamm ML2.1's didn't cut it on my Maxx 2's, but they work much easier with the Maxx 3's. Drag your Lamm's to a... 
Jolida JD9A or Dynavector P75 phono stage?
Dynavector P75 is a bargain for the performance level and works great with low output MC and even better with Dynavector Carts with the Enhanced mode! 
Wilson MAXX II Bi amp question.
The bass unit has resisters in it on the bottom that are in line also. EricJcabrera: "Correct Warranty will be voided"They are not designed for Bi-amp, sell both amps and all associated cabling and buy a single better amp/monoblocks and simplify! 
Has anyone owned both P500 & hydra 8 / guardian
I've owned the PS300, PS Premier also, but the Hydra is a more natural bigger soundstage (romantic), the Powerplants give you more dynamics, and if you put an amplifier on it does choke it a little, depending on the power requirements for the amp.... 
Wilson Sophia 2's on Marantz Reference
What people are missing here is the Sophia is a much more forgiving speaker for your upstream gear. Easier to drive and easier to match. Based on looking at your current system I would keep your Transparent Cabling and your ARC CD3 player (skip th...

What speakers are you going to be driving?What do you have currently that you like and what do you not like about it? 
Hi Wilson W/P8 owners, best amp ever to drive WP8?
almost everything will have less control than your Krell in the bass department.. so expect a sacrifice.2 options.... Get a tube preamp and flavor the krell that wayor Theta Citadel's work amazing with the WP8's, and have tremendous bass control. ...
