What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600?
Cow-tipping-- you're not from CT are you? that was rumored to be a hoot of a prank back in the 50s at UCONN! a bit b4 my time, but not that much. Tube rolling is switching to different brands of the same type of tube (and there are often numerous ... 
Denon DVD-2910 excessive vibration?

Vandy 2WQ bottoms out with movies
Red- I was answering the ? based on the symptoms; you were basing your actions on logic. Your position was logically correct, but inconsistent with the facts! The 2w series is an awesome sub, but just not made for those subsonic effects that direc... 
Plasma 42 inch ....
Drubin- If you have access to comcast cable, why not use the dual tuner HD DVR box and eliminate that extra connection? Interface is not that bad. IMO.
