A guide for Audiophiles and Marriage
Guess I'm lucky, my wife loks at the new gear and asks if I'll hear a difference and leaves it at that. She even bought me a new power cord for Christmas this year!Yeah!!! 
dvi cables and price vs performance
I recently got my DV-50 back from the 's' upgrade and bought 3 DVI cable, one from Blue jean Cable, one from better cables and an Ultralink. FWIW all of them have the same connectors, though the ones from better cables aren't gold plated, BlueJean... 
I think my RPTV went bye-bye
Seems to be in the air, I just lost my 8 year old receiver today..... well, it was fun to take apart.....Now I just need to figure out what I want to replace it with.Sorry to hear of the loss. 
How important is the Centre Speaker ?
Something like 60% of voices come through the center, so to me very important. You could make your receiver shift this audio to the fronts, but I personally don't like that. 
I completely lack fiscal discipline...
Wait, you feel guilty for buying ONE iPod and headphones??Look at the size man! That's nothing! This Christmas I bought myself;5 new (used) power cords, 4 new tires (well will order this week) and a plasma TV! I just saw the new Delphi MyFi mobile... 
10 bit video dac VS 12 bit video dac
Geronimo,Do you really think that is a fair comarison? The DV-09, which I also own, is ~5 yr old technology, and not progressive, while the 963, which I also own, is both newer and a progressive scan DVD player. I personally have a DV-50 that just...

linn speaker ninka- active vs passive

Why no Dolby on Proceed PAV
the pdsd is the dolby digital decoder for this pre, which came out prior to DVD players. 
Candidates for Re-mastering?
Tomryan, I hadn't thought of it quite that way, the issue for me with Roy was he left a suicide note saying he killed himself because he never got all the fame and recognition he deserved, which is exactly the opposite of the words in ‘that’s what... 
Why no Dolby on Proceed PAV
the PAV only does pro logic, you need the PDSD to decode DD.

Candidates for Re-mastering?
Tomryan,Good call on Roy Buchanan! I'll never forget seeing him warm up for Robin Trower @ the Capital Theater in Passaic, NJ in about 1985. I became an immediate fan! To bad he died how he did..... I've never been able to fully appreciate 'That's... 
Elton John SACD releases
I have GBYBR and it sounds amazing, haven't heard the newer ones yet though. 
Spoiled by multichannel????
I agree with Slappy, I have many MC SACD's and DVD-A disca, I could easily do without the surround.
