Logic and practicality prevails! (You are, of course, going to use Nordost Valhalla cables. Right?) [:)]

Swampwalker, I think some here do not cook. As you know, you will be moving around quite a bit, (that's why I mentioned listening in mono,) and there is lots of background noise. No need to get fancy with wires and expensive speakers, the music is... 
not a charming day with snakes
Kelly, did you not baptise the PC in dry ice? You should do that before you pass judgement. Be sure to place in the tank with your left hand and recover it with your right hand. (An often missed part of the initiation.) If you miss this last part,...

Swampwalker, I would like to add the thought that since this is a "working" area you should throw out all the concepts of your sweet spot listening area. I have two rooms where I use this type of set up, one is in my surgical suite at my vet clini... 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
Natalie, your dismissal of my advice, and the poo pooing of one of the top reviewers, could be considered premature, at best. Maybe do some checking first? Have fun and happy listening. Charlie

Detlof, very interesting. Just when I want to call on my "darker angels" I am reminded of the fragility of the human psyche. Damn, you take the fun out of a good ass whippin. [:)] Really, I could only hope to have any of you to attend a concert wi... 
Help with budget DVD/CD player
Chris, I have been using two of the lower priced Pioneer DVD players, one [525] with a Bel Canto DAC1, and another that was modified by Stan Warren at Supermods. They have been doing quite well mechanically. I find the tray mechanism kind of flims...

EMM4, your efforts have qualified you for the official "cough vigilante" club membership. Welcome aboard! 
Audiophiles - Your Favorite Food??
I, apparently, eat more lowbrow than most of you. I shall now freely admit that the Pork Chop sandwich at Willie's Weenie Wagon is a weekly treat of the first order. Lots of pork grilled on the frier with Vidalia onions and mustard. About $6 with ...

Don't forget the good ol' boys at M&K. 
Audiophiles - Your Favorite Food??
No fish bait for me. Deep fried shrimp and scallops at the Crab Trap or TexMex at El Potro. Add a Bud or Tecate respectively. I also enjoy a Punch Pita afterward. Charlie 
Audible differences between speaker cables?
Howdy. Follow Paul's advice and see for yourself. There are a lot of intellegent and well meaning people on both sides the incredibly thick and tall wall this subject is divided by. In my humble opinion, you should certainly have some pretty ones,... 
How do you all store CDs?
You mean it is a bad thing to have them stacked all over the place? Damn, I have some work to do.
