Power Cords
Ok first let me say on the subject of crazy expensive power cords...........You know, I'm just going to leave it alone this time. 
Covered my TV...What next?
more power on your amp, I don't care what amp you have now, you need more power. Wyred4Sound ST1000, that should do the trick. Or Bel Canto Ref1000 MB, more power!!! 
tonearm upgrade, how far up the food chain?
try that really cool Terminator tangential arm, I want to know what it sounds like but I am afraid to try it first. It looks so cool. 
Name your lame duck artist........
I saw Sheryl Crow live in Austin a few years ago, my wife loves her and dragged me to the show, and you know what I have to admit........she sucked. My wife even said she sucked. Sorry, I had to throw that in. 
Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's
I had the McIntosh 501's with my Maggies and I changed them out for Innersound ESL's. I thought with my Maggies the Mac's were slow and muddy in comparison to the Parasound JC-1's they replaced. The Mac's are great amps, and sound great at my budd... 
Experience with Klipsch RB 35 Bookshelf Speakers?
I put together a home theater for a friend of mine using these and the absolutely ROCK, especially for their size. He doesn't have a great amp running them, just a Denon reciever, so I think you would be very happy with them.

On Cassandra Wilson she reminds me of Tierney Sutton for one reason, the both have sublime voices, and really aweful choice in music.I am very impressed with what Shelby Lynne did with her brazen rip off of Dusty Springfield with "Just a Little Lo... 
Name your lame duck artist........
J Buffet has always been lame, and I have never understood the attraction. But back to an earlier post regarding Norah Jones-Diana Krall-et all(very similar). Yes their music is boring, I agree, but the first Norah Jones album was something differ... 
Old vs New Dacs - Best Bang for buck???
MHDT Labs DAC's are the best I have heard in that price range. Actually, they have been some of the best I have heard period. 
Need small subwoofer for thump
I second the definitive Tech sub. 
How to fix CD?
it's sacrilidge on here to say this, but I have fixed many a cd and DVD with the DiscDR RX. Loud, and crude, but it works in most cases.I had an Elton John ...To Be Continued disc (no. 2 with all the best songs on it) that hadn't played correctly ... 
Manley stingray or Cary sli 80 sig
I don't think you can go wrong with either. Flip a coin, 2 excellent choices.

Bongo-Furious, That is too funny dude, this is no BS, I read your post, and on my way home stopped at Goode Co BBQ, picked up dinner for the family, and some pecan pie.The wife will have no idea what's really causing my smile. Also, Beyonce's asse... 
Name your lame duck artist........
OK, did someone say Beynoce? Wow, that's just wrong for 3 reasons:1) She may not have the greatest voice, but she's an excellent entertainer.2) She's so freakin' HOT (and she has more class than just about all the other pretenders we have mentione...
