a very insightful post redkiwi, I understand and could not agree with you more. I too have a pair of SS monos and tube monos, and I do like what the SS amps do. to me, its like girls you dated in high school, SS amps are like that perfect girl, we... 
John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense"
I found that article interesting. I believe, I have been sucked into the belief that more expensive is better, or that fancy cabling is better. I expect a $1000 pair of speaker cable to sound better than a $200 one. Truth is, they both may sound d... 
a BAD BAD Day for Digital
the original power cord was a 3 prong and I have yet to ask what he did, I will be out to pay him a visit later this morning. I never thought this "upgrade" would leave me musicless. 
Power Cord Challenge
I second this challange and say up the ante and challange a cable designer to this test. Id drop some cash into the pot ($100) if he or she prevails. So we are at $600 to the winner. 
Dedicated line vs. power conditioner
for bang for the buck, i heartily vote for the dedicated line. i paid less than $300 incl Hubbell 20amp sockets. I ran 4 dedicated circuits, one for amps, one for digital, one for analog front end, one for my preamp.

ARC tubes v. other tubes
from what i understand, big companies like arc pick a tube which is available in large quantities not nessesarily for sound quality to remain uniform in what they supply as stock to everyone. ive bought from the tubestore and i feel you cant beat ... 
Shipping amps upside down?
Sc53,you are right on, on this one! 
Am I Nuts or What?
I should claify my post. I am using standard stereo speaker cables, 1 Yamamura the other Straight Wire, and have 2 types of Jumpers, 1 Transparent, the other Apex, into a biwirable speaker. No matter which speaker cable or jumper combo I use, this... 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
My only question is how your system which impressive as it is, sounded congested in the 1st place and found life only after a power cord. Seems like the Lamm, Dcs, Montana people never intended their work to sound as your pre Absolute situation. 
Best Find Ever???
