What cable first
As far as three different outlets (presumably on different circuits, or why bother)...that's asking for ground loop problems....don't do it.Do you have personal experience that proves to YOU that changing any power cord will change what YOU hear. ... 
Peavey or Behringer?
I have nothing good to say about either of them. They are about the same quality and both probably adequate for club/rock/group type of use. I would not think of using either where any sort of quality sound is needed (amplifying acoustic instrumen... 
Power Cable Guidance Needed...
Why is this the next step? Give us an idea of what equipment you have....because, at least in my mind, an upgrade to the power cables will make absolutely no audible difference unless you are the 1 in 10000 who really could hear the change.I don't... 
Preamp inverts phase question:
I don't think one's ears can discern the phase of an orchestra or an instrument in an orchestra...and each instrument, each violin, definitely play in and out of phase with each other. So I am not sure how one would record in a way that kept the p... 
Preamp inverts phase question:
The purpose of phase in a speaker is to make sure that all the speaker's all push out and pull back together. when speakers are out of phase, one speaker is pushing air into the room when the other is pushing away from the room...and that cancels ... 
need recommendations for sub for music
If you can swing $700-800 you should be able to get a used James EMB-1000. This is a terrific musical sub that will just blend in. I replace my sunfire true sub mark II with the EMB-1000 and the difference was so obvious....suddently the bass was ... 
Amp newbie needs help
I suggest buying used gear. Amps get very little wear and tear. I would look for a used ATI 1505 or a closeout NHT power 5. 
Room Equalizer Wizard for dummies
Thx...exactly what I needed. 
Who makes a 4-way speaker besides Revel?
arnettpartner: If you can solder, replacing the capacitors is a piece of cake. Just do it slowly, replacing one at a time. The caps are the only components that deteriorate. 
Recommend ss amps to bi-amp Mark-Daniel Maximus
I would buy a closeout NHT Power 2 for $495 or so...or a used ATI 1502. 
Who makes a 4-way speaker besides Revel?
You don't say if y ou are looking for new or used...but if used, then the NHT 2.9 and 3.3 are both 4 ways and bi-ampable. 
Are lossless Codec's worth upgrading my processor
Actually, I could buy the Panasonic 35 and save another $100....so I would have $275 towards buying the Integra gear...plus of course whatever I get for the DC2 (V4) 
Are lossless Codec's worth upgrading my processor
cruz123....the DC-2 does not have the analog inputs to handle this. I could get it upgraded for $175...but I am thinking that maybe the Integra 9.8/9.9 will actually provide better sound than the 1999 vintage DC-2....so I can put that $175 towards... 
Are lossless Codec's worth upgrading my processor
kennyt...I think the DC-2 was the only lexicon processor in it's time....with a few different models (upgradable). While it may not have been the premier processor at the time, it was lexicon's premier processor with their unique logic 7 logic.The... 
Are lossless Codec's worth upgrading my processor
The DC-2 was the flagship of Lexicon, not a low model...but electronics have come a long way. It does not have 7 channel analog input, but it can be easily modified for $185. Alternatively, I can buy a used Integra 9.8 for $800 which has the lates...
