Audio Magic Power Cords
I had the opposite effect after leaving it one for a few days. Sort of windexed my system in a positive way. this is odd because im a tone freak and usually care more about lushness then squeeky clean sound. But in this case im enjoying it. MAybe ... 
Need guidance on isolation devices
forgot. I also have had good results with bright star isonodes. They are another safe way to get your feet wet in this area for less then 30 bucks. They sound different then the herbie's stuff. But different is not better or worse... 
Need guidance on isolation devices

Audio Magic Stealth XXX Purifier
rodman- you are right. It is very light. Definately punches ahead of its "wight class". I did have to put piece of blu tak on the the led though b/c the unit was placed on my tv and bit distracting. I wonder what this thing would sound like with b... 
Non-edgy Shielded Silver IC Recommendation
HAve to agree with audiofeil on this one. Based on the stealth PC i used got, Id bet the audio magic silver stuff is pretty awesomethere are a lot of well respected cable makers-silver is not an absolute. Seekubla sosnaAudio NoteGregg Straleycardas 
Speakers for a smaller room/moving issues...
I second the any LS35A reccomendation-and add that a vintage pair easily obtainable is also very neat. OFf the top of my head, not knowing your budget here are some. Note I have not heard all of themOmega super 3 narrows (my current NYC fave)Silve...
