My Next Miles Davis Disc?
I would reccomend "Get up with it" or "Bitches Brew" a little harder edged than "In a Silent Way" but in my opinion even better. 
Opinions on why this system is uninvolving
I would get rid of the Power Wedge and maybe the Shunyata Black Mamba, those 2 components in conjunction could make for a very muffled sound if that is what you are experiencing. I personally think no conditioner sounds better than the Power Wedge... 
Power cord for BAT VK-60 mono blocks
I had the Viper V2 with my 150SEs and thought they were great smooth and liquid. Then I got the Acoustic Zen Krakatoa and felt that it was a big step up from the Viper V2 much more drive and authority, really made the Vipers seem dull and muffled ... 
Best Power Conditioner?
I have owned the PS 300 the Hydra and the CF-X. In my systems the CF-X is clearly the best, second to the CF-X would be the Hydra and then the PS Audio unit. Word has it that the Audio Magic Stealth is better than the CF-X and quite a bit cheaper ... 
Pass Aleph Questions
I got the 2s after owning the 3s for some time. The bass was a little bit better and they would play louder, but not that much. Other than that the 3 sounded better to me. 
Best speakers match for BAT VK75 SE
I used the VK150SEs with the 860x and I got good results with either the Silverline Sonatas or the Dunlavy SC 4s. The Dunlavys are very good all around performers without really calling attention to any part of the spectrum, not the last word in a... 
Best power cord for BAT 75SE
Tim-I have only tried the King Cobra over the Viper V2, which at the time was tops for Powersnakes, and only on the CD player. Back then I thought the Acoustic Zen Krakatoa just walked all over the King Cobra. Now I think the Elrod walks all over ... 
Avantgarde's are Great but Bass Integration?
The Duos are so picky, if everything is not perfect they won't sound good. I have tried them all over the place in my room and have been ready to dump them, but after sufficient break in and taking the time to get them placed I love the way they s... 
Best power cord for BAT 75SE
David Elrod EPS 3 1st, Acoustic Zen Krakatoa 2nd, Shunyata Viper V2 3rd. I have the 150SEs and while these are all good cords the Elrod cords are easily much better. It's really hard to really even reccomend anything else after hearing the Elrods. 
Which cone's or platforms have helped?
I have tried a number of diffrent cones and pucks and my favorite so far is the Walker Valid Points. 
Terrible room. Contemplating headphones. Help
If your room sounds terrible the most expensive system in the world won't make a diffrence. I have recently moved my gear into a newly built dedicated room. I was so bummed with the sound, flutter echo boomy bass, it was awful. I have been working...

Help with FedEx claim......What would YOU do?
Dan, I had a problem with UPS and I simply filed suit in my local small claims court. Cost 27.00 including serving. They paid the claim one day before the court date.If your receipt says that the insurance was for 3k then you will win otherwise yo... 
Power Cable for Wadia 860X
I have tried a bunch. I like the Acoustic Zen Krakatoa. I compared it to the Powersnakes King Cobra and it makes the King Cobra sound dull and lifeless, like a piece of junk really in comparison, plus the King Cobra costs 3x as much If you can spe... 
Vibration Tweaks
I have tried a bunch and hands down the ultimate vibration control is the Sounds of Silence Vibraplane. Pretty expensive, but a good deal when you hear what it can do.
