Newbie with "bright" system
Mraybeck: Considering what your components are resting on at this time, I would (in your position)invest in Vibrapods at $24.00 per set of four and discuss with Craig @ Vibrapods how you can incorporate the Pods with your wire rack. The Pods and a... 
Music to make you laugh by
Katharina: Yes, the 101 Strings listed above (if you consider unintentional camp to be funny) and Victor Borge (SP) mentioned by Kitch. If you are under 40, you may have missed Mr. Borge. Although not always classical, many of the works of Henry M... 
One Song That Still Causes...
"Ghost Riders in the Sky" by Miss Peggy Lee. 
Music to make you laugh by
We have a CD - Dudley Moore "Live from an Aircraft Hanger" that is very funny. I used to know the slang meaning of "aircraft hanger" in the UK, but can't seem to remember what it is right now. Anyway, the CD's a hoot. 
Speaker Grill Cloth, On or Off
I usually leave mine on due to an abundance of cat hair floating around, plus I have a tendency to stare at the drivers if they are exposed, which to me is the equivalent of staring at a wall (don't want to get the nickname "Stemo"). That aside it... 
Tube problems 6922
Otis: I would post this question at Audioasylum.com. There are a lot of DIY's that start from scratch at the site and that should be able to figure out what is going on in your situation. Many (a high percentage) of the 6922 type tubes that I have... 
Check out these amplifiers
Yes, I caught it before it disapeared. What is a Golden Shower by the way? LOL. 
Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts?
Sometimes, it helps to be a little nuts to thoroughly enjoy life and others. This goes well beyond the scope of these forums.

Anything performed by "The 101 Strings". Funnier than a good standup comic and more camp than a John Waters production. They put Muzak to shame in this particular venue. 
Digital transmission cables
If you are not hung up on price, I would recommend that you give the Mapleshade Double Helix digital IC a try for its natural presentation. If I had a larger budget I would have auditioned one of the IC's from Vantage Audio, but did not wish to wa... 
Tight Bass
Room acoustics have a profound impact on live music as well. Having played music quite a bit in my younger years, the majority of our sound check time was spent fine tuning the low frequencies (bass and drums) and this was the same when recording ... 
where can i find hospital grade IEC plug
Dark: Have you run across a P&S male IEC plug? I need a couple of male plugs for a project. 
I like my Absolute Power Cords
And the other Absolute has such a wonderful ad campaign. I am breaking in one of the cords right now and will post at a later date (after we've done it:-). As usual Pete beat me to it. 
Bi-Wire or Double Run of Single Wire ???
Try them first and then sell them for something different, you will feel better about it then. LOL. 
Bi-Wire or Double Run of Single Wire ???
I do not think that it makes any difference. I have used bare wire twisted together as one at the amp (for a shotgun setup) as well as bare wire plus bananas (the bananas on the low end). I thought that I could hear a difference when the bananas w...
