Am I missing something?
If you think the clock is whacked, check out the post about the "metal chassis full of used electrons" http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1127271015&openfrom&1&4#1. Must be a full moon. 
Can metal chassis become defective? I
Man, I want some of what your tech has been smokin'. His "theory" is as they say, wrong on so many levels, that I don't know where to start. Or are you just trolling? 
Help with a wide/twin bay rack
Or you can try the Salamander Archetype series and add your own isolation devices, as I have done. The solid cherry is quite handsome, without the aluminum stiles of the Synergy series. They make a double platform top which requires you to stagger... 
Attention to anyone on Texas Gulf Coast
Good luck guys. Any believers in global warning, yet? 
Headphone Amp with Remote ? Antique Sound LH-01?
You are talking about a different level of fit'n'finish, for sure. Sugden is reported to be tank like with very high quality parts. In the past ASL has been somewhat lower level of fit'n'finish with some uneven QA/QC (at least in my experience). Y...

Quality headphone playback on a notebook computer?
Try the M-audio sound card and any one of many portable amps that you read lots about on http://www.head-fi.org. They have an entire forum devoted to computer-based audio and another on headphone amps. SR-71 by Ray Samuels is one portable by a guy... 
Is there an audiophile Sirius receiver?
Whatjd- I know that a few months ago, Tweeter had a "component" style Sirius tuner in their catalog, but it never reached their shelves, as far as I have been able to determine. If you find one, let me know, I'm also looking for one. 
Classe Audio -- Is My Amp Any Good?

Mutlple Amps and a line Conditioner
Hard to imagine that you could power 4 channels @ 225 ea plus 5 channels @ 100 ea (Ithink that's what the HT-5 delivers off one 15 or 20 a circuit, let alone not have current limiting problems. I would think that each amp should be on a separate c... 
Speaker upgrade help needed: 4500$ used
Our musical tastes are similar and you could pick up a used pair of Merlins and have plenty of $ left with your new budget to put into your new front end. Give bobby at Merlin a call. He will tell you if your electronics (current/proposed) will wo... 
Speaker stands for Vandersteen 3A

Jeff Rowland Phono Stage
Any thoughts about the ph-1? 
Meitner MTR101 Amps
I've always had the urge to try these, but based on this discussion, I would put my $2k in an SMcAudio upgraded DNA 0.5 for 100wpc of outstanding SS goodness.
