This funny
I owned a set of $14,000 speakers with a $20 tweeter. Nuts!!! 
who needs a cd player anymore
Cd players simply sound better. Great CD players sound way better. I have compared and thus far my player easily trumps the sound of computer based front ends. I like looking through my CD's and picking one also.I am glad you enjoy your approach a... 
Selling Large Speakers - How to reduce shipping?
Pilot Air is the best - $230 for speakers 6 feet tall and 175 pounds each. $116 for 50 inch - 105 pound speakers. That is fully insured. No reason to pay upwards of $500 with others. Check out Pilot Air.I used them at least 6 times with heavy spea...

Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier
Mine took some 400 hours and are now constant in sound. No longer changing. I keep them on 24/7 as they dead quiet and always cool to the touch. 
VTL 6.5 vs any pre for the same Dollar or less
Tube Research Labs Dude preamp $3500 will go toe to toe with preamps costing 6X the price. No phono section or remote, but great sound for reasonable cash.

Which Component Needs to be Upgraded First
I have used several BPT power conditioners on my digital front end only with good results. Deeper bass, took out some of what we call digital glare or hardness, smooth highs and improved stage size.I now use a battery powered CD player so I sold m... 
Which Component Needs to be Upgraded First
They are heavy on the bass as your amp is slow and not controling the woofers in your speaker. A Belles Ref 150 amp will take care of that while the Monarchy amps not as much. The SE160's will control the bass far better then your ST140 however.I ...

Most interesting. I will check this out. Never seen this before? 
Which Component Needs to be Upgraded First
I have found conditioners to degrade sound and limit current/dynamics. I would have to say spend that money on direct 20 amp lines to your room before a line conditioner.Also get a decent power cord.I know many differ on opinions of power conditio... 
What should be under my speakers?
Just wanted to give more info on my experience with the Sistrum SP-004 and SP-1 stands.My Dali Grand speakers were 100lb floor standers with 2 bottom mounted 8" woofers per speaker. Bass was at times heavy and just a tad slow. Very warm and slight... 
What should be under my speakers?
I placed them (Sistrum) under my Dali speakers and the sound become far more transparent, focused and composed. The bass was far better controlled and articulate. Loved them!Your experience may vary.
