Cable management....crossing at right angles or
Thanks to everyone that responded, I'm really not obsessed with it. I was just curious if there was any way to better isolate things than what I'm doing. It is good(?) to know that other people struggle with the same thing trying to just get thei... 
Rubidium Clock
I have a P03.My experience is that while significant, it is not like a new piece of gear.There is a "rightness" in timbre and pace with the G0rb that you miss as soon as it is out of your system.Randy 
XtremeAV Quicksilver Gold alternative?
My experience could not be farther away from Ozzy's. You will get what you pay for. 
What isolation feet to use??
Having listened to many...I like Dead Ball isolators. The dealer I bought them from offers a money back guarantee. 
Esoteric Transports matched with different DA's
I have had stunning results w/DCS Elgar Plus and Esoteric.Randy 
Need guidance on isolation devices
A product called--unfortunately--Dead Balls from Acoustic Dreams--google the name--works well on front end gear.I have used them vs many others and they really work; I loaned a set out to a friend and they had no lack of positives to offer. Brian ... 
Cable suggestions requested
After many different cables/gear combinations, Stealth is by far the most natural with all the music coming through with correct timbre balance and weight.Will it work, audition and lt your ears tell you.Randy

Low price, quality cables for avalon ,CAT, shindo
I vote for Stealth.They are a great match for CAT--SL2 Ultimate/JL2 Sig.After a long search...I located a couple of dealers who have some cables to audition. Odd not all seem to want to do this.Randy 
Anyone recommend a neutral tube amp?
CAT JL2/Signature.If you're in the market, compare the top 5 votes, and if I was a betting man....It does depend on what you value as a listener and then of course room/system synergy. 
Amplifier advice for Wilson Sophia speakers
I use CAT SL2 Ultimate MKII/JL2 Signature amp.Better than ss--like Krell (which I owned before the CAT gear.)Randy 
Boltz CD racks?
While weak on carpet descriptions, I can say the 600 rack I have freestands on carpet, 5-6 " from the wall.The weight of the CDs--mine is full--keeps it pretty well balanced--it wouldn't tip unless a BIG force came against it--the rack's feet keep...
