Break in period for power conditioners ?
Let's get it right "Voudou", not "Voodoo". 
How can power cords make a difference?
Hi Bruce: No, I am afraid of burning the home front down with any DIY PC that I would attempt (regardless of what wire was used). I also gave most of my extra cable to a friend to use as speaker wire and just have enough left for additional IC's (...

Mike: I don't use a preamp at all, so am just trying to preserve the sound that I do have. It's kind of an odd perspective when going from an SET that already has a volume pot as the different preamps that I have tried sound "way different" and co...

It's liesense (perty sure). Pleaze make note of it fer future refernce. If not, don't wurry about it, the Iowa cockuss (when it cums round) makes up fer all mispelins. 
Assemblage SET-300
Hi Otto: If you go to audioasylum.com and search under the SET forum, you should be able to find quite a bit of info on this unit. Not trying to brush you off, this is just where I find a lot of hits on tube gear especially kits and DIY stuff.

Robedk: If they bug you so much, then don't become one of them (on the other side of the fence). This is a natural reaction of course, but get a grip before it happens. My next plan of attack is to add vinyl to a CD based system. The reason for th...

A normal goal (other than that of a troll) would be to figure out how to improve either or both formats within ones system. Not to decide which is best. Well, there goes my Troll Pimp Slap for the day.

Thanks for all the input. I may take you up on your offer, Tom. I am electronically ignorant, but do have the assembly skills (I assume that they are still present in my brain and hands anyway). A good thing about DIY (other than the price and per...

Thanks Dark: I was unable to search AA before, kept getting a message about three characters (not Manny, Moe & Jack) or something like that. 
Speaker Cable for Tube SET System?
Riv3r: I have no experience with the Monster cables, but will suggest that you take a look at the OTA thread (search under OTA at the bottom of the first page of the forums). This is what I am now using and I have no desire to try other cables. It...
