How do you know if you need a power conditioner?
To elaborate on my experience I was getting very good results with a Chang Lightspeed device, and I was surprised when I took it out and inserted a simple Wiremold power strip the sound actually improved. High's seemed more extended and the sound ... 
Any John Hartford fans?
I'm one! 
How do you know if you need a power conditioner?
I would have to say that you know if you put one in and then take it out and the sound worsens. That's about it. As the Brit hifi mags like to say, you've got to suck it and see. Happy listening! 
Bryston B60
I used to own a B-60R and have to say that I loved it. I'm totally into tubes now, but part of me still misses that amp. Get one used for $7-800 and also pick up Tara Labs "The Missing Link" or some other high quality jumper and ditch the crappy c... 
DK Design Group vs. Boulder
Wow I can't comment on the sonics of either product but aren't the Boulders about almost 10 times the price of the DK? I mean I know price doesn't really matter but that's some jump! One could argue that it would be patently infair to compare the ... 
Integrated amp for Vandersteen 2CE signature.
Bryston B-60, great amp from a great company, and usually $7-800 used. Happy listening!

Sorry mustve missed it. Sounds like a real winner, enjoy! 
Dartzeel amp lives up to hype

yourmusic.com
Hi Krelldog,If you do a search you'll see that I started a thread about yourmusic.com about 2 weeks ago. It's still up and running strong. FYI, I agree it's a fantastic service, hence my thread! 
Electrostats
Perhaps try an Innersound amp, they're designed specifically for stat's. Just a thought. Another idea also is something like a Magnepan, similar presentation perhaps with better bass than a stat?

Warren what tube amp did you end up getting? I looked in your system profile and there's no amp there. Whatja get? 
Will I notice the differance?
Allright, you go dog! Happy listening! 
Best color s to paint dedicated listening room
Isn't the best color always what your wife wants? I get no color choices in my home, luckily though she is an awesome decorator and I'm not. Good luck! 
Too good to be true?
Just curious what brands are we talking about? You might want to do as suggested, check with the manufacturer if possible, or even post a notice here and at AA giving details just in case anyone has been ripped off. Or you could just buy the gear ... 
Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass?
A new source will help and it may be a bad speaker amp combo. I've heard that the Triangle speakers can tend toward brightness in certain setups,as far as SS goes the B-60, I used to own one, isn't particularly bright, but maybe with Triangle it i...
