Devore Super 8 speakers with WHAT cable?
I use Blue Circle BC92 with mine.In all honesty I sell BC gear, but I was a BC fan and owner long before I was affiliated with them. 
For the money, Best set up for HT and music
What matters most to you?If I could only have one system, (mine are separate), I would take the same 2 channel system I have, and just add a decoder/HT preamp, with a multichannel amp to drive the extra channels for HT. Any decent DVD player would... 
what concerts do you wish you attended?
I found out years later that my parents were at Tanglewood for what ended up being the last concert conducted by Leonard Bernstein. I wish they had ask me to come along. It is actually now available on CD.http://www.amazon.com/Bernstein-Concert-Lu... 
Cheapest system you could ever stand to listen to
Onkyo made nice two channel receivers back before home theater took over. The 1980's Integra line were excellent. I still have an Integra TX-108 which sold for like $900 (in 1980 dollars). It was basically their best 100 watt Integra power amp and... 
Ground Loop Issues
If you have two separate AC circuits and they both hum, it sounds like you have two separate ground loops, not a single one. This might also explain why you have two float both grounds.

Which "Kind of Blue". I'm so confused
That was kind of my point. I was aware of the speed issue, but it never meant much to me.No one a the time (musician's & engineers) picked up on the error by ear when they heard it. These kind of people have fantastic hearing. So how much diff... 
Which "Kind of Blue". I'm so confused
The oldest release and/or the cheapest.I am probably in the minority here by saying that I think remastered is an excuse to get you to spend money unnecessarily. Buy the new and improved version, bla bla bla...While I cannot speak for that particu... 
Sound Anchor Component Stand
Can't say myself; but if they are anywhere near as good as the fantastic speaker stands they make, I would think you will be very pleased. I cannot imagine them being anything but excellent considering this company's past products. 
cheap used transport vs cheaper cdp w/ digital out
Find an old Theta Digital transport on eBay. Ones that sold for $1500 to $8000 new, now sell for $300 to $1000. Built like tanks. There are newer DVD/CD transports as well, but they will still cost a lot used.There are quite a few for sale here on...

Good, cheap, loud speakers
Something you can blast for around $100 ?A pair of JBL L40The original B&W 600 series, specifically the DM600i, or DM610iThe DM600i is the size of the later DM601, the DM610i is like the DM602 
Tubes at Best Buy. Yes, it's true.
Has anyone ever taken one of these apart.??Considering we are talking about a mass production item, I wonder if the player is actually solid state and the tube is only lit (like a light bulb) separately, and is not part of the music circuit.In oth... 
Any balanced one end/rca the other interconnects?
I always find the aversion to adapters interesting; even if they are of much higher quality than the connectors the cable maker is likely to put on your custom cables.Keep in mind that all gear has adapters. Inside your gear is bare wire. So does ...
