help with DAC w/current system
The Mapleshade Double Helix digital cable is $120.00 new. I use it with the Bel Canto DAC and love the sound which is organic/analog like with fine detail and full bass. They have a less expensive version for $32.50 new (I have not tried this one)... 
Which Music CD-R is the best
I am using Memorex CD-R 80 Digital Audio Recordable discs $20 for a 30 set (Office Max) and Maxell CD-R 74 Digital Audio Recordable (that are usually expensive, but a manager at a local store sold me 10 for $1 each). Both work well with a Pioneer ...

"Genghis Blues", blue me away. 
Cones/Bearings for CD player
Sam: I do not yet have it installed, but the plan is to use the stock feet on my equipment resting directly on the shelf. Each shelf will be supported by four upturned brass spikes. This setup seems to follow the the basic advice given at Ken's we... 
Power Cord Challenge
I could probably make it to Brulee's for a day trip (I am an hour South). If not I can lend a BMI Whale for the audition if it is held at Bruce's. If you get takers in your area though you could call it "The Grapes of Wrath Shootout". 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
Kevin: I'll ship "Jingle" to you along with my HTS2000 (after I totally screw it up trying to add a male IEC plug and upgrade the sockets:-). On another note: I have been burning in a power cord by running my computer with it. Is this doing a good... 
Power Conditioning in Apartment Complex.
JT: The units only cost $125.00 (so mo big deal as long as the place is still standing after I am through (my SET went to a "real" shop for repair and maintenance). I do not consider the mod work worth $65.00/hour, otherwise I would have sent it o... 
Power Conditioning in Apartment Complex.
PS: I also have two identical (to my ears anyway) units and will mod one and then do an A/B with the stock version. Differences in sound are not always better, they are just, well, different. 
Power Conditioning in Apartment Complex.
JT: I am doing it myself (and I am not a DIYer), so wait for the results. To open the case I will have to drill out two rivets on the bottom of the unit (the rest is screws). I would like to secure the male IEC within the casing (but since I have ...

SOS: PS: Make that "Pink" plastic. 
Carl hears through Diamond
SOS: Just wrap yourself in plastic and call it "Christo" (that should take care of it), but please refrain from posting.

Psychic: I use two of the HTS2000's in my setup with very good results. I live in LA wich should be on par with Chicago (except the women are a little thinner:-). The Monsters do not change the tonal balance in my system, just get rid of some of t... 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
Kevin: I have "Jingle Cats" if you would like to borrow it for your test. The five "little men" have not been good lately and they will not be needing it. 
CD Recommendations
I just listened to Bela Felck & the Flecktones "Outbound" three times in a row (I was too tired to get up and change the CD). I enjoyed it all three times (this is a good sign).
