Best speakers for classic rock
What's the rest of your system comprised of? How big of a room? I'd say get yourself some Heritage Klipsch speakers or something from the KLF or CF line, but they're not for everyone.

Put a Kiseki Blue NS cartridge on the old Yamaha QL-Y66F tonight and am breaking it in with a nice 180 gram remaster of Highway to Hell by AC/DC. 
Is OPPO worth the inflated price?
My BDP103 sounded better played through my Auralic Vega DAC than the BDP105D played straight to my preamp.  I have also owned a Modwright modded BDP-95 an Oppo HA1 headphone amp and now have a UDP203 that replaced the BDP103.  I don't think I've h...

Is OPPO worth the inflated price?
I wouldn't worry too much about the warranty, I have not heard of any widespread issues and I've owned 5 Oppo units and all worked flawlessly.  I just don't think they are worth 3-4 times what their retail price was, that's just stupid.

The Police - Ghost in the Machine and Zenyatta Mondatta.  It was arresting. 
No love for 70's guitar bands?
I don't know how "relevant" these bands are today, but they are the stuff of my youth.  I was a little more into AC/DC, Judas Priest, Krokus, UFO, Scorpions, Led Zeppelin and the like, but listened to and saw my share of more pop oriented bands li... 
CD ripper
Foobar2000 does a nice job of ripping CDs and also works on your computer.  Agree about ripping to FLAC (not DSD). 
Advice Please On Subwoofer Choices For My Secondary System.
What's the size of your room?  If it's not too large, I'd suggest adding about $100 - $150 to your budget and look at a small sealed sub, a couple I would check out are Rythmik's L12 or SVS SB1000 or a used SVS SB12-NSD.  I picked up a  SVS SB12-...
