| Starting from scratch in a large room Your only choice for good sound is a divorce and I don't recommend it in most situations. | |
| Butcherblock Acoustics "feet" effecting sound and isolation OK so you're talking about components, not speaker right? Speakers vibrate, components shouldn't. the answer is the same but for slightly different reasons. so I'll give you my 2c. I'm a physicist and I like to keep things simple. So if you wa... | |
| USB cables conducor - help As long as you are using a PC, you probably don’t need super expensive cables. Get a streamer if you want to go to the next level. For digital, I like silver plated cables such as audioquest Cinnamon or Vodka. There are other such a Viablue that ... | |

| CD player suggestions... Do you have a good DAC? If not, buy this first. All $800 CD players are going to have a very weak DAC. | |
| Cost break down of hifi system @fuzztone I agree. Spend 80% of your budget on the nicest cables you can afford and buy components to match. | |
| Cable burn in Sorry, my mind rad Cary as the amp. | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? Well I never bought a McIntosh without a jeep attached so there is that. | |
| Upgrading power system @boxcarman I currenly run my amp with the fuse jumpered. The fuse is a tremendous limitation on power. So I've been idly looking for a good circuit breaker in the sub 1A range that could be put in it's place and haven't found one. I think there... |
