Robert Harley for his open mindedness on new technologies and future trends not to mention his technical know how. 
Isolation devices and CDPs
This is a great topic. I thoroughly enjoyed Equa's technical explanation of damping and isolation. Very well done. I realize these are not on the same par as Equa's "Footers" but I've invested in Vibrapod Isolators. I have 3 sets in use (two CD pl... 
PSAudio Power Ports
Well just to follow up on this, I did speak with PS Audio tech support. They advised that if you're going to use one of their power ports but need to connect more than 2 components to the outlet, use a power strip with hospital grade sockets at th... 
Need advise regarding small bookshelf monitor
Oh absolutely, the new B&W 686 bookshelf is outstanding. This will fit your area. I auditioned the new 600 series a few months ago. Fantastic. State of the art for B&W bringing technologies from their 800 series down to their affordable 60... 
Need advise regarding small bookshelf monitor
Energy Loudspeakers manufactures some good bookshelf monitors at reasonable prices. I had a pair of the Take 5's for a while. No bass but good for a 2nd pair in a small office or for surrounds. They have a C-100, C-50, and RC-Mini that will fit yo... 
DVD music concerts
Has anyone mentioned Pink Floyd "Pulse", live from Earl's Court in London 1994? I just viewed it. All I can say is......WOW !! Disc 2, Dark Side of the Moon, is sensational. This disc set offers two 5.1 SS audio streams: the default 448kbps and an... 
PSAudio Power Ports
Justlisten:Thanks. What I'm pointing out is that by using a cheap plug expander in the PowerPort, do you lose the advantages you get from the PowerPort if a component was to be connected directly to it and not going through an expander? That's wha...

LCD Television Noise ???
I just purchased a Sony Bravia 32" LCD TV (KDL32S3000) and there is no perceptible wining noise of any type I can hear. I never heard of this being inherent in LCD TV's. All the brands you mention are good ones. Features are what you want to resea... 
any one hear the new b w 683 yet?
Yes I agree with Zormi about the DM604-S3's. I found them too boomy next to the DM603-S3's during my audition earlier this year. I can only imagine how much more boomy they would be once I got them home in my smaller room than the store's demo roo... 
More than one CD player
Thanks everyone. Interesting responses and explanations. I haven't heard of some of the brands mentioned such as Resolution and Minimax but that's what this forum is all about. Learn!! Hey Timhru, what have you done with all of those CD players yo... 
Help Bookshelf recommendations
Kewadinbob:You may get a plethora of loudspeaker recommendations in reponse to your inquiry but in all honesty, you really should try and get to a hi-fi store somewhere in northern MI and listen. You may end up disappointed buying without listenin... 
Fogerty- Revival, better than his past efforts
I too have been a very long time fan of JF and CCR. I've been listening since the early 1970's. I haven't heard Revival just yet but plan to listen. "Pendulum" has always been one of my all time favorite albums. But Ozzy, have you not seen his "Lo... 
HDMI what to buy?
I purchased a 3 meter Phillips HDMI interface cable for $36.00 at Wal-Mart and the video picture quality is fantastic between my Marantz DVD player and Sony Bravia 32" LCD TV. I truly question how much difference there can be in HDMI cables and wh...
