My vote for Tweak of the Week
Thought you guys and gals would get a kick out of it. And Marco, you never fail to crack me up. 
turning amp on vs tweater hiss
It will not damage your tweeters. Leave it on if you like the way it sounds. 
Physically awkward components...
Actaully, jsut was hooking it up, and the binding posts are in the middle. With heavy gauge speaker cables w/spades, the RCAs are in the way of the right channel speaker cable and the AC cord is in the way of the left. 
Physically awkward components...
HOw about the arrangement of the IEC, input RCAs and binding posts all on one side of the Berning ZH-270, with the IEC in the middle, separated by about 12" from the RCA on one side, and the binding post on the other? Have not yet figured out how ... 
Headphone Recommendation?
All of the above is true. To get your feet wet, you probably can't go wrong with either the Senn HD-600s if you like a little more laid back sound, or a high end Grado if you want a more forward sound. Either one will want a good amp like a Maxed ... 
Norah Jones on Bluenote??
Has anyone here even heard the album? Thought not. Lets hold off judgment until its released. Not sure I want to use Newsweek as my primary source of pop/jazz/whatever criticism. I, for one, really enjoyed seeing her perform and am looking forward... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Granny- If I remember you got your used as did I. Did you get the "manual". If you did, re-read it and you will see that Mick used unshielded wire throughout and you also have the umbilical. Combined with the overall high system gain, there are lo...

Capn- At the price you must have paid for some VERY GOOD equipment, you should get the dealer on the horn and demand that he send an ISF certified video technician AND an audio tech over to calibrate and adjust that system. You will not get the be... 
compatability confusion for newbie, yamaha ca-1010

Very Best Cd Changer to drive outboard DAC?
I'm not sure if the CL-5 has digital out. The CL-10 does and it worked very well for me w/a DAC. 
need some suggestions for Acoustics Blues
How about breaking the gender barrier with Rory Block. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Anyone heard the GEC copy KT-66 by Shuguang from China? 
great little speakers
I recently bought a pair of the Sequerra Met 7 MK4s and I agree w/SdCampbell. They are very nice, coherent, easy to drive, very transparent. Recommended esp. at their price point ($750/pr new). BTW, Warrenh, they look VERY much like the Caravelles...
