Burning in my Sony DVP-S9000ES -- best approach
I case you missed it, the player should be connected to a dac,or pre amp, or receiver, during this break-in period.The receiver need not have speakers connected or volume applied, for break-in.

Just to knock "Bax"-- My Montana's in their pressed wood crates;were jabbed by a fork lift tip.The weight of the 200 lbs contents pushed the wood back out,making it unnoticeable.The lift tip, only pushed the wood into the speaker;not the tip itsel... 
Weirdest Question asked when selling gear?
Actually the common "Why are you selling?" --gets me. I hate to tell them of my drug problem. I; on the other hand "never" ask why they are buying. Tim; will I have to sell some blood to buy your gear?--Or,do you take pints in trade?

Is Audio Research Mach II Ref II a good pre-amp?
Take a bite out of sound? You bet!! 
Considering a Spectral AMP - CD compatibility?
My thing with Spectral has always been;once you buy their piece,--you have to buy into the "whole-chain". I like things that allow diversification. I'm not saying that the "whole-chain" isn't great;just not for me as a tube person. 
Why has Audiogon suspended "Wanted" ads?
Just have to chime in. My first transaction here, was responding to a wanted ad. I have sold several other things since. I say keep it;charge whatever you need to. 
cornfedboy, signing off
With mixed emotions; I wish you well in your new endevor. I will miss your humor and advice. There is some solace knowing you are now "up-stairs". Best to ya,dude. 
Reduce Floor Vibration?? I live in an apartment.
Hey,Lokccs;It is the bass more than anything. Make sure your speakers are well away from any walls; and of course on spikes. Listen nearfield as much as possible.If you have a sub; they can hear it better than you can.--As the bass waves get furth...
