Sutts, that is the splitter (Carver Pro) that I am using with success. Charlie. 
does an audiophile quality xlr 'splitter' exist?
I disagree. I have to use a "Y" connector between my pre-amp "out" and my am "in" in order to use my subwoofer on my Creek 5350SE. I detect no loss in sound quality. Charlie

MFSL Ultradisc vs. Ultradisc II
I bought the Japanese faux mini-lp pressing of Animals and I think it is terrible. Mine sounds bright, harsh, and devoid of bass. I can not recommend that disc. I do enjoy my UDII MFSL DSOTM, which I bought used a couple of years ago. I would say ...

Kelly,How about a wonderful plain chant? Try "A Feather on the Breath of God" with Emma Kirkby. Hyperion CDA66039. Engineered by Paul's and my e friend, Tony Faulkner, of Green Room Productions, UK.Another recommendation is "Musica della Cappella ... 
calling all audiophiles
I second the notion that surge protection is one issue and power "conditioning" is another. IMHO, believe your ears! And, when in doubt, have a friend help you with a blind test and then spend more money on music! Charlie

Grado SR-225 or Sennheiser HD580?
I think my SR-225 are comfortable. It is easy to alter the tightness against your head, if needed. FWIW, my hat size is 7 1/8. Maybe some of these guys have a big ol' head, or something.[:)] Charlie

How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
Not bad advice, Jimmy. It would also make a great bedroom system when, (and if,) you go forward. Charlie 
Are more expensive speakers better?
Craig, I was really thinking about getting some Bose speakers for my waiting room, (so I can steal back the PSB 300i pair there now for another use.) I am really insulted. Brought to tears. Charliep.s. Just kidding. I love you man. Can I have your...
