Dogs and wobbly speakers
Audiobugged, that is one very weird website !Coon tails for the do-it-your-selfer ? Ellery911, that's a sick site, but less strange !Joe Cartoon is a gas, so is Ebaums World, wonder what Slappy thinks ?

Dogs and wobbly speakers
Slappy, this may be a bit crude, but you can take two trash cans (new ones) cut-em in half, paint-em and fill-em with some Mix-Kwik Concrete 3/4 way.Place your stands in them, let them set overnight.The next day (after plenty of rest) "wrestle" yo... 
Good music soundcard
Try Lynx Studio Technology, M-Audio or RME-Audio for hi-end soundcards.For USB to Digital Coax/RCA interface converters; Xitel Pro-HiFi-Link or Empirical Audio USB Off-Ramp & Freeway. 
Coaxial or Toslink digital output from a PC
Or you can by-pass the sound card altogether & get what I just hooked up. USB into the Pro Hi-Fi. Optic, coax & RCA outputs all in one, best PC sound I know.I'm running digital coax to the input on my Audio Logic Dac, can switch source to ... 
Spanish Guitar
Agree with Peaks, Jesse Cook "Vertigo" & "Free Fall" (A little more worldly) You can add: (Mellower) Govi "Andalusion Nights", Armik "Romantic Dreams", Chris Spheeris "Eros" All of these are superb ! 
Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth
I had it since it came out in "93"Great recording and demo disc.I like "Tell Me More About The Forest" & "How Fortunate The Man With None" Brendan's vocals are awsome, try listening at night with the *lights out* !!

Rich sounding line conditioners?

Purist Audio, Elrod or Shunyata power cord?
Jmcgrogan2, you are *RIGHT ON THE MONEY* in your description of the Shunyatas. I couldn't have said it better !!That's why I have the K.C.V-1's everywhere but the amps. 
Upgrades to Cal Audio Delta Transport
I own(ed) all the above; Cal Delta / Alpha, current; CEC / Audio Logic 34.Steve Huntley is great with the Cal stuff. I sent my Delta & Alpha to him a few years back for a damping mod, worked great. The Cal is VERY good for the $$. 
Any opinions on the eAR digital "Ice amp"
Hey Scot, don't forget Henry's H2O's either ! 
Analysis Audio Speakers
Thanks Denf, I'd be interested to hear a report or two !! 
audio magic vs shunyata hydr
I love the *original Hydra* very much for everything and its tube-like sonics in my system as John states ^ above ^.
