Power Conditioner? Furman?
Why not drop Chris of BPT a line? He'll have numerous good options, and is a very straight shooter. (www.b-p-t.com)John 
Cheapest speaker cable with best bass
Another great post by Al! In a more pedestrian vein, SignalCable are said to have good bass, and are comparatively cheap. I've had a pair of SCs in my system for some time, and think them pretty good, though I don't have an opinion on the bass iss... 
What is the best loudspeaker for a small room?
I agree with Brainislav et al, that the room is not that small, and lots of things might work.Another variable is how far you can place the speakers into the room; if living considerations in your room require "near wall" placement, that is a cons... 
New Music Recommendations 2012
Hi Marty.If I could not get WAOB, my next choice would be III. TCG has progressively smoothed out their sound, and progressed beyond their garage-country roots. This is arguably a good thing -- as it arguably was for Wilco -- but not quite my bag....

Richard, Columbus is home to one of the best American rock bands bow working, Two Cow Garage. Sadly, they seem to have turned down a it, but worth a show if you've not seen them.John 
Speaker cable suggestion for Pass Labs XA30.5
Kzhtoo: I have the Pass Int-30A. I will eventually add BPT speaker cables to my system to go with my ICs and PCs, so as to have all BPT wires. I suggest giving Chris a call. John 
What is the best power cord for pass labs xa100.5?
BPT was better than others w/ my INT-30A.John 
Speaker cable suggestion for Pass Labs XA30.5
BPT may be a good fit with Pass; the ICs and PCs are in my system. Whether they hit your pricepoint will depend on needed length, of course.John 
How to avoid being scammed?
I'd be very hesitant about a zero feedback, overseas sale, esp. with an immediate offer to "buy everything" full price. Lots of potential for headache here. In general, I try to chat by phone before committing to any significant transaction; if th...

Would people mind adding a genre tag to their recs? If this thread grows long, as I hope it will, it wd make finding new tunes easier.Cheers,John 
R CHANNEL DEAD, CLICKING SOUND INSIDE AMPLIFIER
Could Klaus at Odyssey (the Indiana version of Symphonic) help? Might be worth a call.Good luck,J 
Family Band "Grace & Lies"
That is interesting about CJ, Richard, given our considerable overlap. I'm with Mofi. I think CJ lyrics often genius (I'm esp. partial to the earlier stuff), all the more when you realize it is a man writing in a woman's voice.J 
Family Band "Grace & Lies"
Thanks Richard! Checked both of these out and ordered on the spot.Family Band runs a little to Hope Sandoval Hypno Folk, eh?I trust you know Jeese Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter, "Reckless Burning"? A space folk masterpiece.Sorry to hear about your... 
Laying it on the line
I think my experience has taken me to places where nobody else has ever been.*speechless* 
Best Place/Way To Sell My CD Collection?
Hi Richard.A compromise way of selling them, after pulling any "audiophile gems," might be in lots of 10 or so, organized by lots of artist, genre, etc. I've bought this way, and I'm guessing the yield might go as high as 5-6$ a disc, for the inte...
