Accurate speakers for a verity of genres?
forget the stuff you see here - it's not for you. Check out the Cerwin Vega 215s. Big bass, efficient, works well with receivers. You asked. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=304-030&utm_source=googleps 
Good speakers under 10K.
If you listen to a lot of rock, I bet you would love Wilsons, as they have good low-end punch. While they are quite expensive new, I think they are very good deals used. Check out the Sophias or, if you have the room, the Watt/Puppys. I've seen bo... 
Any hope for SACD?
It's probably worth it for someone with a player like yours, but for me, I just couldn't find a SACD player that I felt got the most out of standard CDs, I got up to about the 5K range and decided to stop chasing hi-rez. Plus, in so many cases, th... 
Think you know analog?
Here's my attempt at a clickable link - hope it workshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsSY34wqiD4&feature=related 
Linn Ikemi vs. Naim CDX2
I believe that Linn supports its products, but I think that they require you to go through a dealer. Good luck if you haven't purchased from a dealer, whether new or used. 
Using Brillianize remove Static
If you're not against it on moral grounds, Gruv Glide really eliminates static charge. I can't say it improves or hurts the sound, but it licks the static problem. If you live in a dry climate, it makes playing records much easier. I find that one... 
Buying a Gold Record?
You can only play it with a gold record player. I think Goldmund makes one. 
Berkeley Alpha DAC: cabling and breaking-in time

Digital vs Analog - A supposition...
What you're saying might be true for some, but I would disagree. Good analog setups are free of what you call the "well documented" defects, just as good digital is free from much of what analog lovers dislike about digital. I was raised on analog... 
Is a hearing aid the best possible tweak for 50+
Costco gives a free hearing check and sells you a $3K hearing aid. They're not as dumb as they look. BTW, the hearing aid will sound better with an upgraded power cord and teflon caps. 
3 footers...which one?
I would use the Herbies Gliders, as they make it easy to move the speaker around to set the correct distance and toe-in. Once you have that dialed in, you might want to try a different interface to achieve a different sound, but I would start with... 
Need Advise for open sounding monitors
Totem Mani-2. They will work well with your 350/wpc and give you the bass response you're used to. I don't think there's any way you can go from 15" woofers to a small monitor and be satisfied, but the Mani's will likely fill the bill for you. Mak... 
Naim CDX - should I consider
Are you talking about a CDX or CDX2? The CDX2 is an excellent player, far beyond the CD5i, especially with the optional power supply. That aside, I suggest you direct your Naim questions to the Naim Forum, as they are much more familar with the eq... 
AYON CD-1s CD Problematic Tracking Issue
If it makes you feel any better, my Ear won't play copies, and a few SACD hybrids, but has never failed to play a standard CD. If you are having an issue with the Ayon, I would contact USA Tube Audio. In my experience, they are very helpful and se... 
Xindak SACD died
Why don't you try Parts Conexion (or however you spell it) - they seem to have a lot of experience with Chinese audio products.
