The Problem with Synergistic Research
I just realized today that there is no power conditioning or surge protection whatsoever in the SR Powercell that my entire system is plugged into. That was a bit unnerving considering the investment I have made into my system. As a result, I will... 
Von Schweikert VR-6 or Wilson Audio Watt/Puppies 5
Lrsky-Your agenda is pretty clear and off point. There are literally hundreds of VSA customers that have had very positive experiences with Albert, including myself.You sound like a dealer, but don't see any such disclosure. Now who is misleading?... 
Synergistic Research Comes Down to Earth
The point here is VALUE. I think you are missing it. What do the element Hologram A and D retail for? And then don't forget to add Galileo MPC's. I've still got my old SYnergistic Holograms, Apex bi-wire speaker cables, etc. I'm just getting tired... 
What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear
More specifically, the VAC Signature Mk IIa. Outstanding.

I just talked to Robert at Worldwide and have 2 of the Power 3 pcs on their way to me. I'll be trying them in my soon to be completed office system, and then who knows? Definitely more reasonable than SR's cords. Thanks for the heads up guys. 
I think I need an audio repeater - need simplicity
Discovered MD remote has no screen for channels, therefore also acquired the Harmony 900, to try. The 900 seems less brain damage, but will keep whichever works best, send the other back. The Niles requires hard-wiring from repeater to the control... 
Synergistic Research Comes Down to Earth
Even with deep pockets, value is still an important factor. In a tighter economy, all are more careful about where their audio dollars go. Some audio companies recognize this, although others obviously do not. 
Can My Subwoofers Damage My Home
or Herbie's tube/wood dampers... :-) 
Where do I start with a home theater system?
I agree with Madhf. I have incorporated a center channel, a 3-channel amp to drive center and rear speakers, a pretty good processor(Integra) and an Oppo BDP-95 for movies only. I integrated a sub I already had and run the processed signal through... 
Synergistic Research Comes Down to Earth
You don't need to put the T. Base under everything in order to gain the benefit of the technology. That would be overkill, IMO. I have one under my source and there is a noticeable difference for the better. That is enough for me. At $1995 retail,...

Decided on a Niles IR repeater. Best solution to retain station name selection on Magnum Dynalab remote. Thanks all for your input.

Thank you - I'll check it out. 
I think I need an audio repeater - need simplicity
Good advice - thanks. The RF functionality is what I need and I believe the 900 can also learn from other remotes. I did finally find the MD and Oppo listed on the Harmony site.Drrsutliff - did you have to attach anything to your sister's gear or ... 
I think I need an audio repeater - need simplicity
Thanks for the response. That was the first place I checked - they didn't have Magnum Dynalab, so I didn't even bother checking Melody or Oppo. Very frustrating - don't want to have to re-invent the wheel. Surely there exists a workable simple sol...

VAC is the best I've heard
