Which class d amp?
I have Nuforce 9 V2 SE which I like very much with a tubed preamp and VS VR 4 SR speakers. You are going to have to take all opinion with a grain of salt. This class amps have evolved so quickly that only comments about the latest models will repr... 
Ear Protection
Bar81 - thanks for the clarification. I have also heard that using headphones for a hour raises bacteria levels in the ear 3,000 percent. I wonder what happens with in-the-ear phones over a transatlantic flight? 
Ear Protection
I am 58 years young and can tell that my enjoyment of music is diminished if I have been exposed to loud noise during the day, so I include vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, blenders etc in the times to protect hearing. This may seem excessively paran...

Ghostrider and roblanger - thank you for the feedback on CD quality. The music is worth a re-buy on a better recording. I will give the remaster's a listenJoe

I am running the latest and top version of Nuforce, the Reference 9 V2SE. It is very wonderful accross the spectrum, particularly the bass and including the highs. The amp is reported to have high bandwidth, low distortion, near zero phase shift, ... 
AC Power 101
Jea - Thanks for taking the time to respond. Your explanation was very clear as to why my current circuit could be far short of the benefits of a dedicated line. 
PS Audio premier ... any problems?
I talked with PS yesterday and they said that they will honor warentees on used equipment only if it was originally purchased from an authorzied dealer. If you call them with the serial number and they will confirm what if any warentee if left on ... 
AC Power 101
Rfj - Thank you for the input. That is what I am wondering, if there is noise that I would not be aware on until its stops. I know for example adding vibration control tightened images that I did know could be tightened. Guess I will have to try a...

JeffI am sorry that my pictures are out of date. There is no TV between the speakers now. I do pull the speakers out some more when listening. I have read about the Cardas method but have not tried it formally perhaps I will.
