Amp stands- Do they work?
I can bench press 320 pounds, and I suspect I'd say any goddamn thing I wanted to in front of you! 
Best headphones?
I'm sure you could use it (a 1/4 inch jack, right?), but I am not familiar with it. 
The Best Speakers for a Small Room
I'm using the Maggie MMG's in my smaller room, which is also about the same dimensions as yours. They take about 8 billion hours to fully break in...well, about 200 to 600 anyway, so it really takes longer than the 60 day trial period. They are on... 
Tube Traps and other room treatments
Sounds like the "Panel Traps" are the same thing, only a tad bigger, without the diffusor, and for the same price. I use the diffusor side away from the speakers for sidewalls, and toward the listening position on the wall behind the speakers (exc... 
MY Sidewinder AC cord progress:
Agreed on the HT cord, Redkiwi. Would have had a demo Black Mamba two weeks ago if guys like you all would stop keeping them past your appointed limit. Anyway, I'm primarily looking for a cord for my amp, since the MIT has killed every one of the ... 
Guilty pleasure music?
Thank you, Dsod! The only valid criticism I've ever seen is that they've succombed to commercialism a little overmuch. But, they love music more than I do, and love playing it live more than any other rock band, except maybe The Stones, or most es... 
Amp stands- Do they work?
Well, for one thing...on my last camping trip, I ran out of toilet paper, and had to use pine cones instead! Then I realized they had been immersed in poison ivy! You wouldn't want to be me...Yes, I am intolerant of others, and I'm not proud of th... 
Best Interconnects for under $300 pair
Redkiwi, I thank you very much! I wish I could return the favor somehow, but I doubt there's much of anything that I know, that you either don't already know...or perhaps don't want to know, heh heh. You are a kind "mate"! I hope you didn't take a... 
NHT 2.9 vs. Thiel 1.5 (or other?)
I wish I could provide some real help for you, but it's my opinion that speaker placement (and lack of acoustic treatment) in your listening room will hinder the performance potential of any speaker you buy...even more so than your electronics. Th...

I'll post a new thread about my Sidewinder experience. 
Vote for best US made solid state amp
You can't hear sh$#! 
Best A-D converter
You need to chat with some manufacturers about this, such as Bel Canto Design, Apogee, dCS. 
Amp stands- Do they work?
Noel, can you hear the 15.6 kHz sweep of a CRT tv, or are you too emotional? I can hear mine from the other end of my house (It measured only 74 dB right against the back of the tv, with my spl meter...must be less than 15 dB when I'm hearing it a... 
Best Interconnects for under $300 pair
Thanks Redkiwi. Yes, the speaker used like 400 neodymium magnets, if I remember correctly.

The Sidewinder has been in my system for a while. I'll let everyone know how it compares to others.
