Does anyone know of anyone/place that can reterminate cables
If $1600 is just too much, try contacting XLO. They do well with some reterminations, and at least you will get 90% of the improvement you might get from Nordost at 10% of the cost. XLO did a really nice job on a custom ordered Neutrik/speakon cab... 
Your opinion on burn in
I have noticed that my system consistantly sounds better after 2 1/2 days of being left on. Sometimes I shut my preamp down at nights because it gets too damn hot. This doesn't seem to affect sound, but complete shut down definitely changes things... 
Best DVD/CD Player to buy
My Sony 9000ES is superb, if not the last word in Hi-Fi, it is competetive with any $2000 CD player, and the SACD kicks any CD's butt, Progressive scan video ain't too shabby either. Also built like a tank. 
What Would you Trade your System FOR?
World peace. 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
Forgot to mention this "cheap tweak". I have had a problem with the noise from a nearby restaurant, so I bought two $40 sheets of soundproofing foam. I tacked it into my window and it helped a bit. Well I had a 5' X 3' piece left over, and wasn't ...

Avalon Eidolon for nearfield listening?
I have extensively heard both the Avalon Eidelon and their Opus in near field environments. I would choose the Opus for a room of your size. They have all the quality of the Eidelons, but sound more focused in "smaller" rooms. Their soundstage is ... 
How come no one talks about the BEST REMOTES??
Glen, can you program things like the editing functions of a minidisc recorder, access to all parameters of a pre-pro or the slow mo and jog wheel of a DVD player into the RC5000i? 
Advice on 5ch amp to power Nautilus 804s
My Musical Fidelity HT600 5 channel amp powers my B&W 805's easily, and is an amazing match. It should drive the 804's with muscle to spare, and give you superb 2 channel sound as well. If you ever need more amplification, you can always buy t... 
How come no one talks about the BEST REMOTES??
Hi Angela,Baz, I too wish there was a bit more activity here regarding home theater remotes. Remote Central is a great resource, but can be quite daunting when you want the short story. I am considering various remotes, but will wait a while due t... 
Stands for B W N805
Sc53, can you actually say for sure that the Sound Anchors best the B&W 805 stands? 
best sub for both HT and 2 channel audio for 500 bucks
Get a used REL Strata II. Yes, you need a sub for home theater. A self powered sub doesn't strain your amp.
