Burmester CD 03 sampler
Thanks for your replies & thank you for the correction CFB, it was an " oversite " on my part. ;) 
Battubes....the begining
I heard a AR Ls25mk1 with a matched quad of 6922 electro harmonix and it sounded beautiful. At 65.00 for the quad, I would leave it on 24/7 and change out the tubes anually. 
any experience with tube rolling a mcintosh c2200
Yes, I rolled the stock linestage tubes to mullard cv4004 and telefunken 12at7's with not much noticeable improvement. 
How's the quality of the HDCD's from China/Ebay
Well wouldnt the HDCD display light let you know if you had a pirated CD? 
McIntosh MA2275 v VAC Avatar Super
For the price of a MC2275 and if your trying to keep it somewhat Mac I would get a used MC252 amp with a Cary SLP94, or even a Audio Research Ls25 mk1 preamp. Keep the slam of the SS mac and add a little Cary sweetness, just my 2 cents.

Amp to mate well with Dynaudio 25's/ McIntoshC2200
Keep it Mcintosh, MC252 or MC402. Remote switching thru the c2200 is also a plus.

Best Integrated Amp, Price no obstacle?
I would look at Gryphon ( one listed now on the gon ) or MBL 7008 in solid state, Jadis has a stunning line of Integrateds with I beleive the DA60 being the reference model. On a funnier note Bossjay is try to unload a D&K which he considers t... 
Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc?
Went to specs record store and it was unreadable in their sample device too. 
MC352 + Khorns-best SS preamp?
Great amp, depending on your room I would try a Cary Slp98, Cj 17ls, maybe even a Bat pre and they all have remotes. IMHO get tubes into your rig. Audiogon is a great place to try many different pre's and being that they are light and easy to ship... 
Integraded Amp
Get both of what you want, a Mcintosh MA6900 with a 5 band eq.
