Krell 700cx, and Tara cobalt A/C power cord.
Since mine isn't a captive cord it was no problem. I have a dedicated line for the amp with 10 gauge wire and a 30 amp breaker. Changing from the 20a to 30a breaker made a bit of a difference, but not as much as the cable. I also added a Wattgate ... 
Transparent High Performance Power Link
I recently changed out my PS Statement PC to my PPP for a Transparent Super MM1 and it made a big difference. Smoother and bigger, with more separation of instruments. Granted my PS cord was not as recent or high a model as Stanwal's, but you (Sta... 
Krell 700cx, and Tara cobalt A/C power cord.
I have a Krell FPB600 that I just put a Transparent 20a PC on it and was amazed at the improvement. I never really thought PC's could make much of a difference. The captive cord could be better than the non-captive that was on my FPB600 though.Hop... 
Sundazed Records
Under the YMMV category, I recently got a Sundazed copy of Spirit's Clear LP. Sounds great except on Side 2 cuts 4 & 6 where there is extreme distortion in a couple of spots on each cut. I returned the first copy, but the second was almost as ... 
Do you ration your favorite music?
Well, I don't ration myself, but I hardly ever listen to the same thing more than once in any short time (days?). When I listen to something I really like, it also makes me think of other things that would be good to listen to, and so I'm wanting ...

Help me discover some new music...
Try the Black Keys and The Heavy. Two of my new favs. 
Any Alice Cooper fans?
I agree with musicpod, and actually got to see their Billion Dollar Babies concert. Killer has always been my favorite Alice Cooper LP. Just felt like they got derivative after Babies. 
Sundazed Records
I have quite a few of their releases. All have been at least good. They are not meant to be true "audiophile" pressings but are very good standard pressings. In other words a DCC, Simply Vinyl, Classic, Pure Pleasure, etc, will usually be better, ... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Usually nothing, but if I have anything, it will be a Rusty Nail. 
Black Orpheus tri wires
A friend of mine used to have a pair of Alons that he used an 8' pair of Black Orpheus with, but has recently changed speaker and just got some new cables. The Black O's made a huge difference when he hooked them to his Alons. Let me know if you h... 
krell amp and preamp keep for life.....
I think Krell amps and pre amps have a synergy that makes the combination much better than the sum of the parts. I've used various Krell amp and pre amp combinations. Currently I'm using a Phantom III with an FPB 600, the Phantom replaced a KRC-HR... 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
Krell FPB 600. It will drive anything, and is wide detailed and smooth on the high end, never harsh. Love it with my fully restored Apogee Diva's.
