High ceilings and hardwood floors
Ladies and Gentlemen. Scratch my last post as it has no relevence. It's late and I have no idea what I was thinking about. Sorry. 
High ceilings and hardwood floors
Doug28450, I think the frequency that has a full wavelength of 16 feet is somewhere around 61.5 MHZ calculated by freq= 984/wavelength in feet. 
Passive pre-amp in a cable?
Your proposed device will work just fine. I agree that 20k to 25K would be the right value. Also remember the pot should be a logrithmic taper and high quality to prevent noise. Good luck. 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
Play nice Ontario! No need to flash someone if their opinion is different than yours. 
Is sound "additive"?
Thank you Sedond. You are a gentleman and a scholar. 
Is sound "additive"?
Sedond, agreed! I was only pointing out that the answer to the question is not simple. In order for sound to be perfectly additive they must be exactlt in phase. If they are a degree or 2 different the sum will be different. I made no attempt to r...

Martice, bravo on your selection of Casandra Wilson. My favorite is "Blue Light Til Dawn" (Blue Note D101577 if you don't have it). Frogman, if you are watching and you don't have this one I would highly recommend it. I think you would like it.

spade lugs
If you are looking for plain old copper spades, almost any electronics shop will have them and they will probably cost only $3.00 to $5.00 for the 100. 
Is sound "additive"?
Actually this question is virtually impossible to answer with the information at hand. The sound coming out of your speakers can not be represented by a simple scalar value. It is not as simple as saying the output is 89db. The sound is however, a... 
How much does your system retail for?
I am with David, I barely spent $10,000 and I thought I was hot stuff. Like a fool, I bought it all new (wish I knew about Audiogon back then). Well for now, I have kids to put through college. Maybe when I am an empty nester I could be more like ... 
Marsh A400 vs Bryston 4B-ST
I have listened to both amps and for my ears I have purchased the Marsh. It is a wonderful amp for the money.I don't care where the amp was made. After I had a peek under the hood at a local dealer I was impressed at the build quality and calibre ... 
Advice on ML Prodigys
Well, I have ML Aerius i's. I wish I could afford the Prodigys. I drive mine with a Marsh A400S 200w/channel solid state amp which is driven by a Audio Research LS-16. I understand that your amp could see impedances as low as a couple ohms at some...
