| The iPod and the Audiophile I have an iRiver and have found that i cannot really stand to seriously listen to music and so it gets used mostly for podcasts. I do find it convenient to listen to newly acquired music passively during workouts for familiarity. I guess I've got ... | |
| Need some help putting new system together I second the Von Schweikert route for the speakers. Depending on your interest in music, you could use VR-2 or VR-4JR for fronts instead of VR-1. I have had VSA speakers for HT for a couple of years and they match up and integrate really well. I w... | |
| Good power cord vs Killer power cord? I would also try killer cord directly from wall straight into the amp. My experience has been to use the conditioner only for source components. It may or may not work for you, but worth a try. | |
| Viewing Preference? I have a plasma and although leary about burn-in, I use the gray bars for watching 4:3 source. Thankfully, that is not a lot since there is a lot more 16:9 HD content on now. | |

| Any system ever moved you emotionally like this? I can't remember what I was litening to, but when I heard a pop, the music stopped, and smoke came out of my amp - that brought a tear to my eye.On a serious note, these songs always strike a chordLeann Rimes - Probably Wouldn't Be This WayAllison... | |
| Balanced power compatabilty census I am running a BPT fed by a dedicated circuit. I found that the video peformance on my old CRT based TV was phenomenally improved. I don't run my integrated out of the conditioner since I found that it definetely chokes off the sound. | |
