Bella Fleck was great if you like jazz banjo fusion(and I do) Bad company had a DTS sound track and was shot in widescreen (Neither mentioned on the cover) A very nice treat, all the band members were right on the mark and Paul Rogers never missed... 
how do you know when you've blown a speaker?
You can usually spot a blown driver/tweeter when something sounds funny with the bass. One way to check them is to FIRST - TURN YOUR SYSTEM DOWN!, then go around to each driver/tweeter, put your ear up close and listen for any imperfections (usual... 
AT&T ST glass vs. AES/EBU connection
To do a true A-B comparison of these two cables I would increase the length of the AES/EBU to 1-1/2meters (Industry recomended length)Most designers and engineers have proven (in theory) that AT&T glass is a better connection. But for some rea... 
Which One Do I Have To Have?
I'd think about running a dedicated circuit for the Marantz piece :^)

Ok, I picked up Bella Fleck today. I also bought the new Bad Company DVD, and a re-master of Queen (Video hits) in widescreen/DTS. Oh, and the Matrix reloaded (Had to have it)I'll report back my findings next week. 
Better amplification for Thiel CS 1.5
Walker6string makes an interesting point. I have had problems in the past blowing the tweeters in my Thiels while playing them at high volumes for long periods. Luckly Thiel is customer friendly, offers a great warranty package (10 years) and will...

A fine jazz vocal CD
Amazon has it for $11.99. Apparently she has another cd too selling for 9.99.I'll pick the one up since I like Diana and Barbara too, though personally I lean toward Diana's stuff a little more. I just like her delivery a little better.Thanks SD :^)

Will dedicated power lines eliminate ground loops
I've tied the I.G. bar to the panel ground bar with a jumper at my main panel temporarily :^(This has been an on going project, and I still have a few loose ends to tie up before I can complete the true isolated grounding. I'm not big on lifting o... 
Will dedicated power lines eliminate ground loops
Try to use a Commercial electrician, they will have a better grasp on dedicated circuits for your application. Have him run a conduit to your proposed location, have him pull a seperate neutral with every hot(#12 is fine). Then ask him to pull a d... 
Power problems
usually a dead give away that your drawing to much juice is that your breaker trips. I have had problems in the past with things acting quirky due to voltage drop on the circuit. That is to say that the load on the circuit is causing the voltage t...
