Best Budget power Cords
I have a few Harmonic Technology Pro-11AC power cords. They can be had between $90 - $125 here at Audiogon if you keep looking for them. They will most definitely be an improvement over the options mentioned above. You have a very good amp and CD ... 
Anyone heard the new Monster Power Conditioners?
The new models are handsomely designed, resembling the Classe` gear with a silver and black face and a digital readout. It would be nice if you could shut off or at least dim the lights and display. Sometimes my HTS-3500 looks like a Christmas tre... 
B&W 803N/ any comments?
Perfectly for jazz or classical.Much better than the 804N. 
The best new music is by a guy who is 60.
Try Tom Wait's latest. Emotionally moving and cool! 
Aftermarket REL / Neutrik Speakon Cable?
Ditto, Sugarbrie. XLO did a superb job on my custom cable through the Cable Company. 
Acurus ACT3 vs. Rotel RSP 976 vs. Adcom 760
I would buy the one that allows analogue pass through. I think the Rotel offers that feature. Th Act 3 is probably the better unit if that feature is not too important to you. 
U.S. Postal Service mail delays
Ditto. 
B&W Nautilus Subwoofer to match N804s
REL can't be beat for matching your speakers perfectly. My REL Strata III works seamlessly with my B&W 805's, and can be set up simultaneously for both 5.1 and by speaker terminal out for stereo. It beats any B&W sub by a long shot. With y... 
Synergy of power cables with Interconnects
Sanctuary is right. I had eight different power cords and tried each one on a component, the best sounding pc stayed, and then I went through each component and chose the winner. Here are the results: * Musical Fidelity HT600 5 channel amp w/ Acou... 
Vertical placement of line Conditioner: Any harm?
My Monster HTS-3500 has been vertical for 6 months, and seems to work the same as vertical placement. Just for fun, why not go to their website, and ask? 
Stay W/B&W 805's or goto a bigger speaker
Jim, M Rowlands is on the money with his advice. It does take patience and perserverence to break in cables, as they don't usually sound very good for 85-200 hours, although of course some can occasionally sound good right away. Try to optimize sp... 
Stay W/B&W 805's or goto a bigger speaker
My B&W 805's paired with a REL Strata III sub sound awesome, and compete favorably with the best of the large speakers I have heard. Most speakers I have heard that really don't need a sub are in the $10,000 plus price range such as the Avalon... 
Digital vs analog widescreen tv
I'm not sure if I follow your question, but any new widescreen HDTV capable TV will display all of yesterday's and today's formats Your VHS tapes will look as good as they can be ( except you will have "bars" on the side if you view in 4X3 mode) T... 
Bryston or Classe audio ? what do you think of both?
Classe` puts as much effort into the 2 channel aspect of their 5 channel home theater products as their exclusively 2 channel gear. I have heard both, but not extensively. My impressions are that the Classe` is more "musical" , the Bryston being v...
