Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter
Here is an interesting write up for you: http://yourfinalsystem.com/power-product-reviewsI like the idea of this combination. It could be deemed cost effective, depending on how many watts you need to condition. 
Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter
I recently have been doing a lot of research on this subject. My neighbor, an EE and programmer is a pharmaceutical instruments product developer. He and I spoke in length about the merits of balanced power for sensitive medical equipment and how ... 
Best subwoofer for music under $1,000
I also recommend the HSU Reasearch. I just accepted delivery of my 1000 watt ULS15, my second sealed 15" sub for my room. The ULS15 is a little more than your 1K budget, but, well worth it. The ULS is augmenting a B&W ASW850 15" sealed sub. Th...

Vinyl In the Netherlands

stone wall behind the audio rack and speakers
I built a sandstone wall behind my speakers a few years ago and the sound transformation was absolutely awesome. I suggest it highly. The music just seemed to be more natural and musical. One caveat, you will need to treat the room on the other wa... 
What are the best amps for B&W N802's?
There is no "Best" for this speaker. You can drive these speakers with as little as an 10 watt per channel Ipod integrated amplifier or 500 watt plus amps. The key questions you need to answer are how loud you want to play and how much bass do you... 
Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables...
It looks like the older CX series of power cables are being bought as soon as they are listed for sale on several websites. I missed out on a Python CX because I thought about it for a day, dang it. I guess you snooze you lose. Anyway, I was wonde... 
Tubes vs Solid State
I use tube amps with B&W 800's. In my experience, the biggest difference in using SS and tubes with these B&W's is in bass control. I went from a pair of Bryston 4BSST's bi-amped to a pair of 150 watt Octave MRE 130's mono amps. The sound ...

I saw the same HGTV episode with the Million Dollar audiophile Room. It stated that the audiophile had 125,000 LP's and a $1,000 a month electric bill. I loved all of the Mcintosh gear. 
Removing power conditioner...
I have always used an Isotek Gemini or Isotek Multiway power bar with multiple outlets for my equipment. I just purchased one of the last remaining older generation Isotek 8 Multitway's for my system. It has industrial looks, is shielded, non curr...
