ISOLATION: HRS,SYMPOSIUM,SRA,ZOETHECUS??
Check out the Sistrum racks from Star Sound Technologies, http://www.audiopoints.com/multiplatformsb.HTML.They perform extremely well and look good too. My wife actually likes it. She can't stand my THICK cables or anything else about the stereo, ... 
Audio Research LS3 owners....
Sorry, it has been a long time and I forgot and made an incorrect statement.Like Bbaxley2 said, IT'S THE ONE DIRECT INPUT that, to me anyway, sounds a whole lot better than the other inputs.That's the big complaint that I have about it. I think al... 
Audio Research LS3 owners....
A friend of mine has the LS3B, which has one balanced input. If you have a source that has a balanced output, I would definitely get the LS3B. To me the balanced input sounds really good, but the unbalanced inputs are just so-so compared to the ba... 
Advise needed regarding N801s - 4 or 8 ohms?

Integrated for B&W 805 Signatures
Musical Fidelity works really well with B&W 805. I used the A308cr pre-amp and amp with my B&W Silver Signatures for a couple of years. 
Has anyone compared Oyaide against FIM
Stehno, Thanks! I just heard about FIM's yesterday and didn't know anything about them. Right now I have one Oyaide outlet for my system, am having Alan Kafton upgrade my Power Wing XP with three more, and I'm having two power cords made with Oyai... 
What price point favors separates over integrated?
I guess it all depends on your money situation, because separates have more extra cost associated with them.For example, I just went to mono-blocks. Now I have a pre-amp and two amps.My power cords cost $550.00 a piece and interconnects cost $500.... 
Gon bonkers with def tech...help..
For the money you have to spend, the Definitive Technology speakers are really nice. I don't think that you were steered wrong, don't worry about what audiophiles with bigger budgets or anyone else thinks.I used to have a setup like yours years ag... 
Problem with AC and how to solve it
PS Audio Power Plant P-500 or P-1000 AC regenerator. 
Used Preamp for $2000 to $3000
Herron VTSP-1A/166, there's a little under $ 2,000.00. It's a great pre-amp! 
Herron vs Audioresearch
Luna, I haven't heard the 16 or 25, but have a friend who has the LS-3B. I have the Herron VTSP-1A/166, not the VTSP-2. I liked the Herron over Joe's LS-3B and the conrad-johnson Premier 17 LS-2. You really need to hear the Herron an see for your... 
Preamp with most dynamic contrast?
Try a Herron VTSP-1A/166 tube pre-amp. It's less than $2,000.00 on Audiogon. It's fantastic!Chuck 
Is a dedicated transport justified?
I agree with Nutella, the Theta Data Basic II is awesome. I don't think that you'll find a better buy. If you up the ante to $1,500.00 for a new piece, the Stello CDT-200 blew away my Theta Data Basic II in every aspect except the soundstage depth... 
Comparison of $11,000 - $15,000 reference speakers
You might contact HiFiManiac, he just purchased the $5,000.00 Harmonic Pecision Caravelle's that Krellcoda mentioned. He replaced his $40,000.00 Wilson MAXX's with them. Yes they're that good. He might be willing to sell the Wilson's if you want t... 
Popping from light switches and refrigerator
Thank you all for your thoughts. After talking to about a million people besides your feedback, I started replacing all of the contractor light switches and outlets in this four year old home. This way I can make sure that there are no loose conne...
