AC power delivery and Power conditioners.
My experience with APC (I have an S-10) has been superb with tube and SS amps and preamps. My Quicksilver M60s plugged into the wall passed a tremendous amount of AC noise. Plugged into the APC...dead quiet. The APCs have also received great revie...

No one cares what kind of cars you drive...really. 
"Dented tweeters — Does not affect sound "

Static electricity Killin me.
I actually killed my wall thermostat w/static elec once and had this problem w/my stereo in cold, dry Virginia. I solved it by grabbing one leg of my metal rack before touching a component. 
How do I smooth out violins?
Musicfile,Good suggestions, but finances don't allow for replacing caps in the DNA and a tube pre...will have to go with just the pre for now. 
How do I smooth out violins?

If it has JJ Teslas, remove them ASAP...they are crap. 
Wheels under tube amps?
I tried this once only to return home from work some days and notice that my amps would have moved to other rooms just for laughs...those wily rascals. 
Jagger gets a real job, finally.
Mick Jagger is a musical GENIUS, and he deserves every cent he makes, just like McCartney, Dylan, Plant, Gilmour, and the rest of the Pantheon. They are artists who have brought incalculable pleasure to millions, and that is worth a hell of a lot ... 
Do you ever just listen to music
One should be able to totally relax w/a system...If not, change it.

Need help with Apple Airport Express
Had the same problem w/mine (amber light would not change to green) and had to reset it to factory setting via the small button (must be done w/a paper clip or ball point pen) and go thru the set up menu again on my Mac. If this doesn't work, call...
