IC advice needed
BEL -the wire is right around $200. I use them for both analog stereo and digital connection and between my amp /preamp. I know dealers that have sold off their Nordost Valhalla's and use BEL cables exclusively on tens of thousands of dollars wort... 
Question about my B&K reference 50 "Please help"
Turn it off at the main button. Unplug it. in fact, take the cord out of the IEC and leave it off for a bit. Plug the P/C back into the unit. Plug the cord back into the wall. Turn it back on at the power button. It's likely it'll reset. If not, o... 
audio research or wife
You know, tubes have a certain :glow". Perhaps the ants were thinkin' you were building the "new" Las Vegas strip. They probably ran off looking for a Gamblers Anonymous meeting.

Personal turntable/cartridge evolution
Right around 1978 I bought a Phillips GA 312 (the one with red touch controls). It gave up 4 months ago and I bought a Linn Sondek LP12. I expect another 15-20 years from it, by that time I'll be close to 70 and maybe a Gramaphone will be in order.

Outlaw Cables. Has anyone tried them?
Yeah, I'm sure the AZ's and HT's sound stellar, but the Outlaws are about $90.00 for THREE .5 PAIRS. They are also continuous cast copper like the Zen's. It's tough to beat the price for sound this good. 
Outlaw Cables. Has anyone tried them?
I use them as the connections for DVD-Audio (3 pair) and they sound fine. The price is certainly reasonable. I've also used various Signal Cables without complaint. The newer Outlaws have smaller rca's which fit next to each other in tight spaces....
