Quietest Refrigator ?
The fridge at the top of the link provided by Loomisjohnson is an LG model. My wife and I just completed a kitchen remodel, and we installed an LG fridge. It's incredibly quiet. We're very happy. 
Skylan vs. Sound Anchor speaker stands? Comments?
I definitely will, Phil. 
Are there any albums you consider perfect?
"Emerson, Lake & Palmer" does not have a lighter cut.We'll have to agree to disagree about BTB. A perfect album usually generates no disagreement, which is why "Brain Salad Surgery" isn't a perfect album, IMO. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
The best indicator is bass extension and response (clarity, control).I've found that 200 ohms or lower works best with most solid state amps having 23k ohm input impedance or higher. Most preamp manufacturers I have asked have said that an output ... 
Are there any albums you consider perfect?
Yeah, I love "Brain Salad Surgery", but Benny the Bouncer blows it for me. Otherwise, it's a perfect LP, IMO. 
Are there any albums you consider perfect?
I think perhaps one needs to be a fan, but I'll add Emerson, Lake & Palmer's self titled debut LP. 
Skylan vs. Sound Anchor speaker stands? Comments?
Never received a response from Skylan, so that brand is out of consideration.It's down to Audio Note, Sound Anchor, Sistrum, or custom built mass loaded wood.

"Deadwing" is a very good one, to be sure.I can think of many more perfect album sides than I can perfect albums. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
If you don't need a phono section, the Juicy Music Peach I (or II) has a selectable output impedance with a low Z option of 50 ohms. It's a heck of a preamp if you can be patient and fine one used.IMO, the 3.5k Ohm output impedance of the Blueberr...

I don't have an album to add to what's already on the list, but I wanted to thank all the contributors thus far. I've learned of several new albums that are now in my Amazon shopping cart.

Thanks for the link, Sherod. If I have read his system page correctly, he lives in the Netherlands. 
Review: Butler Audio TDB 5150 Multichamp
Thanks for contributing such a comprehensive review. Nice job. 
RMAF Loudspeakers?
At this point, I will probably just have to bite the bullet and get a few speakers in my room to compare. KeithRKeithr (Threads | Answers)Good luck. That's been the most difficult thing to accomplish for me (as in never). However, I've not demo'd ... 
RMAF Loudspeakers?
Keith,I haven't heard the Audio Note and Zu loudspeakers in the same system with matching electronics, so I don't think a comparison would be valid.I hope you understand. 
SL-1400KM2 geometry
I believe you're going to really like it. Be certain you carefully read and follow the directions. The instructions are excellent, and worth 70% of the cost of the protractor, IMO.
