Sabai, but I don't have a Bose radio? 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Sabai, yes, look for long USB cords.

Calvinj, I've only owned one piece of Mcintosh gear, the model 78 tuner. Other than the looks of their gear, I see or rather hear nothing that would cause me to ever buy any of it. I remember going to a CES show some years ago, when two guys were ...

Mattnshilp, I know of many manufacturers and distributors not even going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest because it is expensive and they sell little. It is too bad as such shows are now about the only way we can get to hear new components with m... 
should I suspend a floor-standing turntable?
Schubert, yeah, here expensive houses have nine foot ceilings rather than eight foot ceilings, and really expensive houses have eleven or even fifteen foot ceilings. But all are drywalling, usually using eight foot tall pieces. But we had friends ... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Schubert, in my case, being retired, quality reproduction of classic performances no longer relax me at the end of the day, but as long as I can hear and am alive, I will still occasionally shout "bravo" at the end of some cuts. My dad needed musi... 
should I suspend a floor-standing turntable?
Schubert, I can see where that would make a big difference. Where do they run piping and wiring? Or is it just plastering over the walling? 
should I suspend a floor-standing turntable?

Johnbstiuu, I have tried my four HFC URRs on every component with major improvement. As I would first do the what you call, power PC. Other than that I really cannot help.

Johnbstiuu, in my small room in New Mexico, I used my only HFC URR pc into a special power strip with Hubble duplexes and had every component plugged into it. It was better than having only the amp with the HFC URR on it. But earlier when I first ...

Unconscious, I forgot to add that I don't have HFC phono cables at present as I need XLRs to input into my BMC MCCI phono stage. I can try them on pcs, ics and speaker wires.

Unconscious, you reminded me. No, as yet, I have not tried them. Next week, I will give them a try. Of course, I have no idea where to place them, so there will be a good deal of trial and error.
