Thank you John for your responses. Those Midnight racks are dynamite, and I liked reading how some have chosen to repaint with a hammered finish - although I don't have a HVLP spray rig myself. For me, I think maybe I will need to get a custom rig welded (I have friends), as I really prefer the height of a wide TV stand unit (25-30 inches in height). I've attached an image which shows my current units sitting atop each other (extra pads, careful placement attention; please excuse the ongoing LAN project wiring). Most of my current components are of limited height, although I am expecting the addition of reference preamp and HTPC to be rather beefy. This means I may need two gradations of shelving, or moveable options for shelving. While I work wood, I would prefer the base frame to be of cool steel. Pictured is my future exercise monitor, as I plan to wall mount the new TV. I also plan to have a wall mount for the TT, but having a clean, long open space on a table like this allows for some trendy boxes to hold vinyl for perusing. ;-)
The OPPO looks as though it really would do most of what I am looking for, but I will look to have all of those same features included in the HTPC. While the HTPC will cost more, it will be more space efficient and useful in the long run.
That Parasound P5 is a thing of beauty... and it really gets to the heart of some of the features I want. Unfortunately, my speaker towers (not pictured) are not setup to take balanced line connects;to be honest, I don't fully understand how the connections are to work on the Parasound device. It seems it is intended for Home Theater users with dedicated subwoofers (one per each tower), for which the inputs are then connected... but I again state I am confused with the connections. I will indeed have a buddy look at it. Thank you so much!
