Packing home theater gear?
The only way to pack and ship them with insurance is to use a pack and ship place and have them pack it for you, it is expensive! I sold an old pair of B&W 802's (the original ones that are really 803's now) and think it was a couple hundred d... 
Powerconditioners for digital?

Krell Evo 402e vs Evo 400 mono and Evo 202/Phantom
I agree! Ran my Evo 403 and 403e with an ARC Ref 5 for music, then upped that to the Ref 40th Anniversary, great combo! 
3 channel sound
Meridian is one of the best sounding pre/pro's made. You should remember them Kal! They make some of the best pre/pro's f all time!

Best beer
I moved to New Zealand a few months back and the best beer I have found here is Yeastie Boys His Majesty's Ale. Beer is insanely expensive here though......
