Recs for new speaker cable or IC
well, i've tried the blue heaven revision ii speaker cables, and found them very accurate, but thin. i've been told that the red dawn is even worse, but the red dawn rev ii is somewhat better. if you like the nordost sound you might want to try th... 
Power strip manufacturers?
oops - yep, the hts 2000 is a conditioner. 
My system has just received the ultimate insult
There is one more 'scientific' possiblity. Given your system's higher resolution than hers, she may be hearing actual static on the recording (older, poorer recordings?) that she couldn't hear on hers. As to whether she can enjoy her system as muc... 
Oh, crap.
Yep - have your credit card company dispute the charge. If you didn't pay by credit card, you may have to threaten small claims court - that worked for me once. Hopefully a lawyer or two will answer your question on this post.

Monster HTS 2000 is a power strip for $200. 
BEST SUB FOR MUSIC
I second Perfectimage's comments (and will elaborate more than my first post). I also went from a 15" Velodyne (the FSR-15) to a Storm-III. I can't bring down the walls as much with the Rel, but the Rel plays deeper, more accurately, faster, etc. ...

Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up?
Adcom GFP-750 preamp (I know, opinions vary) was a steal. Also, the used Bryston amps. For $300 to $400 you can get an original 3B. Even older than 10 years, they're rock solid and sound a lot more expensive. 
What is the name of your system.

Interesting article on musician's brain waves...
Didn't catch that. Sounds interesting though. Question is, do people with inherently larger "brain pathways" related to music end up listening to more, or does listening to music a lot strengthen those connections? If it's like everything else, it... 
Clockwise or counter looking at the panel?
let me add another warning. as most people have said, mit's locking clamps work in reverse. you hold the stationary part, and rotate the moving part clockwise, and it will travel back towards you. HOWEVER, some of those damn cables can still be qu...
