| Isolation Cones. Will I get the point? I put my gear on points and have lead shot to stabalize the components...can't say it made any real audible difference, but then again, I've never tried listening to my system without the points since their introduction. I imagine if you have kids... | |
| Solid Steel Racks? i am going to buy a Boltz media rack soon. i hear they rock...and expansion kits are cheap. I wish my POS rack would break a glass shelf so I can buy a new one, but until that happens, I'm stuck with it. I shouldn't be too negative about it, but t... | |
| Help with purchase of power conditioner For that amount of money, be looking at Monster Power Condiotioners. I used the 5000 model for some time and was happy with it. You can pick that up used for roughly 300. There is another less expensive model that got good reviews (better reviews ... | |

| What is your most anal audio habit? lol....i hate the residue on cd cases as well. my biggest habit, which is a good one, is to always use the remote. i rarely touch my gear.o, another one is to always use the stop button. God did not create the eject button to replace the stop button. | |
| What's wrong with my system? I would see if you are getting the jitter problem at the same spot on DVDs...since its happening on 2 sources, and since you have tried replacing the cables, I would be looking at the preamp as the culprit. I bet there is something going on with t... | |

| Opinions on the ulitmate dvd demo... Best demo disc is one of those set-up utility disks. I think its called Ultimate DVD; it has DD vs DTS comparisons and helpful tips on set up. The coolest feature is the demo of a Harley Davidson starting up, then driving around the room. WOW!!! M... | |
| I need advice on my first step into separates. B&W I also use the Anthem Amp 2 (not the SE model) and love it. Can be bought used for under $1K. Rotel is nice, as well as Marantz Mono Block amps, which also offer a great deal of flexibility. I hear great things about Outlaw (on-line company) but h... | |

| Does it hurt when you sell at a loss? I think most people list the retail price of the item when it was new, and base the used price off that. I don't list an item until I know what others are selling it for, and thats how I base my price. One must expect to take a loss when selling a... | |
