Signalcabel silver power cord vs Nordost Vishnu ?
Okay, I'll try to help you. First, I don't believe Signal makes a "silver" power cord. Second, I have had the chance to hear the Nordost and my impression was not favorable (I'd rather use a stock cord). 
If Audio bug never hit you, what hobby might have?
Think about it 'reeds. How many times have you read where someone wrote how much they love "this amp or that cable". And how many wives or girlfriends have said "when are you coming to bed?" only to hear "right after this song...two hours later". ... 
BAT to BAT - What's Best?

Difference between B&K AVR507 and 507 Series 2 ?
I called B&K to ask those very same questions because I had my 307 upgraded last year (it's now referred to as a 317) to 507 status. I wanted to know if I needed another upgrade. I was told that most of the improvements were related to video, ... 
Speakers slipping on speaker stands
Another option might be weatherstripping. You have the choices of different thicknesses and densities. I've used it for years.

b&w model nautilus seashells
Rwwear, I'm sure lots of people do, but I could never enjoy the true quality of their sound. I'm sure the HF and some midrange would be lost listening through the closet door, which is where I'd be forced to keep them. ;)

You always hope 40K gets you good sound, but could they be any uglier?
