ASL Hurricanes vs Tenors - which are better?
Audio999- So where are your bose speakers made?? :^) j/k 
Calling Thiel owners please...
I agree with Warren, but they make special spikes for Thiels, I think I would just use them instead of a platform. It would be nearly as good sonically and a fraction of the price. Here's a link to the audiopoints web site that has a picture of th... 
Frank Sinatra at The Sands-Live........
I am a Sinatra fan, one of my favorites is The summit live in Concert. It may not be the best recording or the best songs, but both are good, and the three of those guys(Frank, Dean and Sammy) are so entertaining! When I listen to that disc, I fee... 
EMM Labs DAC6
Brad you are right, EMM labs is Ed Meitner's company, I believe EMM are his initials. 
Magneplanars
Try asking this question here you'll get a lot more of a response. There is a section at MUG that has every model explained by specifications, there's a link to that site from the one I just gave you.

Do a search here and at the hi-rez highway at the asylum, if your still skeptic check for your pulse. This is THE REAL deal, listen for yourself then you will understand its more then just hype. 
86 db speakers. What tube amp
CAT JL1's, VTL 450(or bigger), or better yet wait another few months and get the new Tenor Hybrid(the 150s should be adequate for those speakers). I am sure there are others out there but those would be my choices- happy hunting. 
Is there a"giant Killer" CDP ?
I've had the accuphase seperates, and a capitole mkII(the capitole is light years ahead of the accuphase, sonically- and at a fraction of the cost). Right now I am listening to a $149 toshiba DVD/CD player and let me tell you, it SUCKS! heh heh. I... 
BAT VK-200, Plinius SA100 MK3, or Levinson 27.5?
I am pretty sure the Plinius is not truly balanced, so with that pre amp I would look into the other two. I am not familar with the levinson but that model sounds like it hasn't been made in a while. Come to think of it all of those choices I beli... 
Four front main speakers for 2 channel listening?
My favorite 4 cabinet 2 cannel set up is Soundlab U-1's with I believe it is the UB-1's on the inside, literally the wall of sound! 4 81" tall speakers that are about 36" wide each- I've only seen this set up once and it was just a picture I didn'... 
What happened?
A lot of good points brought up for you Carl. How many hours are on the speakers? Break in is a roller coaster ride for the first 400+ hours. The "dirty" power could effect your phone stage more so then any other component- its certainly possible(... 
Best Sarah Brightman CD
I have 5 maybe 6 of her cd's my favorite is Dive, for some reason that's the only one I find myself listening to with any degree of regularity- and even then its not that often. Its kind of silly- at times- but if I'm in the mood its enjoyable. Al... 
PS Audio Power Pant vs Shunyata Hydra conditioner
I would recommend the Hydra strongly over the power plants, I have heard more then a few power plants and they do create a very black background but they compress the sound and suffer from current limiting if pushed. I can't say for sure but on a ... 
Hot Rodding Magnaplaners
I am in the process of hot rodding my 3.6's, new crossovers(replacing both internal and external with one external), internally rewired, no more fuses or tweeter attenuator bypass, custom frame/stands and the best part NO more horribly factory mag...
