Morrow MA3 interconnects
Try the MAC Ultimate Silver. You can have them burned in prior to recieving them. They will cost you below the $300 budget new.I've tried just about every cable and these cables with the pure 5 nine silver is really very good.Another good cable fo... 
The next best Tweak ???
Well, at least you learned how to destroy a capacitor...LOLI hope your replacement try gives you an improvement. 
The next best Tweak ???
Jedinite24 , I am at work right now, but I think the arrow is pointing to the negative side on the Cap. After installation the first few moments there was an improvement in the mids and treble, the bass quality took a bit longer to flesh out. 
The next best Tweak ???
Dtsag, I used a 9V battery snap on clip that you can buy at Radio Shack part #270-0325 package of 5 for $2.99. Solder the 1000uf Electrolytic capacitor to the ends (red to + and black to-).I then soldered another wire from the black wire to the gr...

The 1000uf 35V Cap from Radio Shack is what I used. 
You know you're an audiophile if--
You report off sick from work for the day because the system doesnt seem quite right and you need to dial in the soundstage. 
The next best Tweak ???
I tried first the battery without the caps and it did not seem to do much. Then someone suggested that for solid state equipment to add the cap. The cap really did the trick.By the way, it seems the higher the battery voltage the more it tilts the... 
Fun Little Project for improving Dynamics
Tweakyman, You've got to try a "baggy" on the IEC of a power cord thats where you will notice the most improvement. 
PS Audio: Power Plant Premier. How much ....
I tried running my Pass X350.5 on a Shunyata Hydra 8 and also a Synergistic Powercell 10SE, in both cases the dynamics were not as good as plugging the Amp straigt into a dedicated outlet just for the Amp. 
Audio Horizons TP 2.3
Well I auditioned the 2.1. It was a nice sounding Preamp but kind of dark sounding for my taste.Perhaps the 2.3 is more livelier. 
Oppo 95 setup question -- complete Noob question
The Oppo 95 has dedicated 2 channel outputs. Use them for your 2 channel music.I am guessing that the DTS Sound track needs to be played through the digital out.

All things Must Pass- High Rez Download SQ ?
Vhiner, you are so right. I just paid for a high Rez download on HD tracks of Allison Krauss Paper Airplane. It does not sound like high rez music to me.On the other hand, I just recieved the SHM SACD of Sticky Fingers. Not night and day differenc... 
All things Must Pass- High Rez Download SQ ?
Vhiner, yes ,I agree a high Rez version from a crappy original is still crappy no matter how many bits are included.The ATMP cd was pretty muddy sounding. The 24/96 download has been available for quite some time now with no current review as to s... 
All things Must Pass- High Rez Download SQ ?
No one has purchased the High Rez download version?
