Made Sterephile best list...nuff said. 
Playstation 3 Blue Ray quality - How good is it ?
One of the best...if not the best. 
Switch to silver for a treble boost?
You mention the 'blanket over speakers' sound. Perhaps it is not due to the cables but to their placement. Tried maple stands? I have padding/carpet over concrete slab and used 2 1/2" maple w/ brass carpet spikes for my spkrs and what a difference... 
Lie you told your wife to buy equipment?
Seems really "boyish" to have to lie about an upgrade. You didn't get married just for...well, you know. 
Need advise on dvd player

The new Harmony One...replaces 880 and is revised for an overall better functioning/easier to use remote. 
Which multichannel amp to buy
Emotiva...? Good enough for top reviewers to sell their Krell/Levinson amps, pocket some cash, and have a better sounding amp for less than a grand. No brainer.

For less than $600 you can get a NEW Onkyo 705 shipped free from amzon/vanz. All the latest converting/processing. Exc a/v performance with a solid 100wpc and 7.1 capability. Otherwise, for 5-6 bills I would recommend looking for a used Emotiva se... 
Brother, can you spare some time for HT advice?
