Sibilance in recordings: your experience the same?
Check the absolute polarity of your ac to start. 
The Best CDs to Give as Presents
Consider their ages & taste and consider an appropriate "greatest hits" compilation. These have always been party favorites. 
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
I find Canadian Club on the rocks works exceedingly well.Just seems to make the dynamics pop. 
"Magic" of Z Stabilizer ll??
Arahl,Just moved up to Oracle AC3 power cord on the Z Stabilizer used for my amp. The improvement is incredible! I would sure like to know the technical reasons why! 
The best "imaging" speakers?
Ggavetti, the first "store bought" speakers I had were the venerable Quads, with the old 33/303 setup(a favorite of orchestra members of Symphony players in Montreal back in the 70's-which is why I bought them).I understand your comments on the Qu... 
The best "imaging" speakers?
LRSKY, Your comments are so "right on". I too have come home from many a performance, usually jazz, thrown a CD in my system(much less an album)and said 'wow' this is better sound than at the event. I find the systems used in most public venues "h... 
What type PC for new DAC
For a degree of isolation & conditioning may I suggest at least an MIT Shotgun AC2. If you try it I think you'll be quite impressed. 
Should I rip out the carpet?
I would not remove the carpet. Look elsewhere.Sounds like your room is "overtreated". 
Sound reflecting panel
Absorbing the reflections works for me. 
Can good speakers take edge off digital?
No.To take the edge off your digital use ac "conditioning" and "isolation" on your pre and your digital source.Very much of the improvement in digital is due to ever more refined power supply. 
The best "imaging" speakers?
I appreciate every contribution-thank you all.I'd like to clarify my situation. I feel macro & micro(detail 'vital'for microdynamics) dynamics are 'the' most important factors in creating a sense of music from speakers-note the use of horns (m... 
Any new up & coming high end speaker lines?
Revel Salon 2's 
JBL 250 TI or JBL 4425 please vote
What type of music do you prefer? That will settle the choice. For solo instrument, jazz, classical the 250Ti's win hands down. No comparison. For a big rockin party I'd use the 4425's. 
Lexicon RT-20 or Cambridge 840C ?
I use the RT-20 in my Spectral/MIT based system. With appropriate ac power isolation and conditioning for it and your preamp it will likely prove the best component in your system. It is truly a remarkable bargain in the high end. Very musical. 
20 Amp Dedicated line: 10 gauge vs 12 gauge wire
Like Eldartford says, heat will not be a factor unless you have some very unusual system, giant Krell amps always on along with an older massive projector system, and a small stove, etc.However, imo the 10 guage is the superior choice for the reas...
