Just Turned 50...
Tbromgard, thanks for the belly laugh. I'm no longer in my 50's and I always think that my hearing is quite good. Then I'm at my friends house and we're sittin on her deck. She gets up to answer the phone that I never heard ring. I hate that.

Yes I've looked recently. Is wasn't that long ago that I saw ads. Not speaker stands, but platforms. Sorry if I didn't make that more clear. Anyone? 
How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music?

worse entertainer or performer of all time??
Kat and Garth, repeat SNL quests. If only they'de rehearse more! 
Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range
There's a pair of Ascendo Renaissance 8 speakers for sale at an absolute bargain price. I own these speakers and they're excellent. Admittedly I haven't heard scores of speakers but at the asking price I don't think you can do much better. 
Power Cords--Your Preference?
I have several Triode wire labs. They are a hugh bang for buck and beat out far more expensive cords. My all time jaw dropping/must own cord is Sablon Audio's Gran Corona. 
Pre-amp with balanced suggestions?
Another vote for the Doge 8 preamp.
