Wilson Benesch ACT 1:component help
Resolution Audio CD50 (and don't use linestage), or Bel Canto Dac-1. MIT 330 Shotgun interconnects, balanced ones much better than RCA. Just a thought. However, you still are wanting a particular sound, so you are still analyzing it. It's not some... 
Recommended audio test disks
And for vinyl, the "Hi Fi News and Record Review Test LP"...regardless of what Musical Surroundings, and others, might say. 
MY Sidewinder AC cord progress:
I took the Sidewinder off the amp last night, and put it on the CD50. I put the Tiffany Electronics cord back on the amp, and am letting these SETTLE until tomorrow (May 15) before I do any more listening.........What I conclude (subjective though... 
Opinions on what my next step should be
Agreed Craig, ASC traps. 
Plasma TV reviews
Look through back issues of TPV, and SGHT. 
Recommended audio test disks
Sheffield "My Disc: A2TB"; Mobile Fidelity w/Alan Parsons; XLO/RR "Test and Burn in CD"; and perhaps the Purist Audio Design CD. 
Best Interconnects and/or Speaker Cable
Happy Mother's Day to you and yours as well! The 350 EVO would be overkill for a DVD player, you should try the 330 Shotgun RCA. (The 350 EVO is $3,100 new, and I got kind of a once in a lifetime "steal" on a used 1.5 meter, though I wish it were ... 
Vote for best US made solid state amp
I just meant that my KAV-250a was the best for the money ($2100 used) that I've heard, NOT that it was the best in the world! The Clayton monoblocks probably are better, if you don't need 500 watts/channel into 4 ohms. I'd like to hear the Clayton... 
NBS or Transparent interconnects balance
I have a Krell KAV-250a, and the MIT 330 Shotgun Balanced interconnect is the best I've heard so far, except for 350 EVO. You can get these 330's used for artound $550. I've tried most of the rest, haven't tried NBS. 
Will 33h drive Confidence 5?
OK, no problem. If you're in the southeast, I'd love to hear those C-5's sometime. They couldn't ever be anything but killer! The midrange is essentially the equal of life itself, with the tweeter being amost as good. (I feel the mid is better tha... 
ANALYSIS PLUS CABLES get ready ****
I have AudioTruth Dragon Plus speaker cable (got it used, of course), and in some ways the little cheap MIT Terminator 3 speaker cable is better (I have a Krell KAV-250a amp). Megasam, I am now officially discouraged about trying the Analysis Plus... 
Best Interconnects and/or Speaker Cable
MIT 350 Shotgun EVO interconnects, because they've beaten all the others I've compared in every performance aspect. The balanced 330 Shotgun ones are about 95% as good, and the 330 Shotgun RCA are about 75% as good. Harmonic Technology Pro Silway ... 
Amp stands- Do they work?
Thank you, I think. 
Will 33h drive Confidence 5?
My mistake, and good luck.
