Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
You know what, I've only put about 5-6 hours on the Waudio PC, but I do believe I hear an improvement in the bass - just seems a bit more meaty - long ways from total burn in, however. I will report back in a few weeks (as I do't think I can get a...

Could someone provide a link to the AQ type 4 solid core speaker cable and also a link to the interconnects? I suppose I could google it, but you guys might have a 'preferred' site with a good price, etc...

Thanks guys, so not just switched on for 24/7, I actually need a music signal going through the amp the whole time? if so, can I do it with the gain turned all the way down on the amp and preamp? or does there need to be some audible output on the...

Thanks Mr. D, I will. Any recommendations for next tweak? Hospital grade outlet, or something else that might make a bigger difference?

Amp for nee LRS Maggies
Yep! I like Vandersteen subs if you can swing it, but a pair of SUB 3 are 5K. I like Rythmik's F12 aluminum sealed servo subs at a grand each for bang for the buck. I hear they mate well with Maggie's

Mike Oldfield - Amarok HDCDIt's like having 1000 songs crammed into a one hour long song. It's got dynamics, slam, depth, nuance and emotion.Other than that I like:  Dr. Chesky's Magnificent, Fabulous, Absurd, & Insane Musical Show on SACD.Fo... 
Best Headphone system under $1000???
Would recommend braided (kind of following Kimber cable's philosophy) and look for OCC copper (ohno cast single crystal copper) possibly sliver clad, as well. Enjoy the crazy train! We now grant you an official audiophile carrying card...
