Racks: Box Funriture vs Sistrum
The box furniture racks certainly look beautiful from what I saw on the website, but although they claim it was designed to make your system sound it's best, I don't see the vibration draining technology that the Starsound has. If you are going fo... 
Powering PSB Synchrony Two Towers
I think you may be doing it backwards. You should be looking for reccomendations based on your speakers as well as your sonic preferences. Power rating is certainly a consideration, but you can determine that from the PSB website. 
Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp
Grannyring,They make a difference for sure. Call Darren at Avatar Acoustics. Get the Afterburner 8 for $80.00 and you won't be sorry. 
Do stands make a difference for equipment?

What audio components are heirloom quality?

Power cords?

What speakers work best with electronic music?
Horns. Look at the JBL Array line for one. But it sounds like you would be satisfied by a good horn speaker. Wide dynamic range, fast transients and the ability to separate instruments within the mix.

Norah Jones
Schubert,I think your post crystallizes my feelings perfectly. We are so accustomed to mediocre talent that is well packaged, we forget what greatness and genius really sounds like. Neither of them are in the same universe as Sarah or Ella. 
Crossover for active bi-amp mode ML/JBL system
