I will ask a dumb question on power conditioners
A Power conditioner adds unwanted colorations into the system. Power Distribution normally will not. Good Day. 
Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision
So the Turntable (Project Xtension 10) arrived 3 days ago, and from the moment I placed the needle down on the record I realized that this was a couple levels up from what I was used to. First the sound is flying out of my speakers like never befo... 
MIT continued experience
The day I took the MIT's out of my system (and replaced them with cables without network boxes) was the day I went from having speakers playing beautiful, wide, articulate music to....People with instruments in my listening room! That's all I'll say. 
Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers?
Cerrot...." (and don't forget phase - can't believe how many systems are out of phase)".I'm not sure what music you listen to, But for me PHASE is laughable. Because all the vinyl I listen too was recorded back in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's do you...

Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised
 
Which do you feel ...
Slaw, I agree totally, JJ Cale "5" was recorded at 3 different studios and some of the songs really show how bad one studio did vs the other. I love this album. The song "Mona" has a bass line in it that will bottom out any ones system that tries ... 
Manley Monoblock Modifications
I would contact Manley labs directly (909-627-4256), they will be more than happy to discuss options for upgrades and mods. 
Need a subwoofer reccomendation.....
I never had or heard a sub in a 2 channel audio system that was worth its weight. I have heard subs from M&K, Martin Logan, Velodyne, and it wasn't until I added a REL to my system that the whole picture finally was there in front of me :-) I ... 
What is the best Amp/pre Amp for B&W 803 diamonds
There are many brands that would drive your B&W's to perfection. McIntosh certainly makes some fine equipment (although I am more a fan of there amplifiers only). There are many names to consider... Ayre Acoustics is first on my list,Conrad Jo... 
Someone who has heard at least one of these...
I would hands down choose the REL! Because of the versatility in connecting it. REL makes subs....that's what they do, period. 
MIT continued experience
Nordost, Morrow Audio, Kimber, Audioquest, I would try at least 2 of these. Also, this is a hard question to answer because of no system info and the lack of knowledge on our part, about what your trying to accomplish exactly with cables in your s...
