Spkr cbls & IC's-must they be same brand
Definitly not in my opinion. I've never had the same brand until recently and I've been through lots of wire with some satisfying results and not so satisfying as well. I do believe a synergistic match can be made but it takes lots of trial and er... 
Best Preamp For $1200 Used
The Conrad Johnson PV10 is full function tube and is a giant killer, it retails for around $1200 - you can get on this site for about half that. It's sound is definetly on the tube side; warm, full on the bottom end and extended and smooth on the ... 
BEST REAR PROJECTION TV 50 to 61"
Without question, one of the 3 Pioneer elite models. I own the 610 (58 inch). DVD movies are unbelievable - you may never go to the theater again.

Best Interconnects and/or Speaker Cable
My cable experience in my system has been MIT musiclink (pre network boxes), Kimber PBJ and 8TC, and Tara Ref. Gen. 2. I recently cabled up with MIT Shotgun interconnects RCA and MH 750 series 3. It made my system, Meridian, CJ, Classe, and old Po... 
Power Cords
Thanks for the response hifinerd. I've got 2 masters on my transport and dac, I've tried one on my amp (classe 200) and I'm too impressed. The bass gets deeper but slower and not as detailed. I prefer MIT Z cord 2 - it adds nothing but clarity, sp...
