dedicated outlet cost
Just out of curiosity, have you considered getting an AC Regen unit instead of running dedicated lines? I am considering both options. I am leaning towards the AC regen. Running dedicated lines in my house is not easy. It would require going throu...

2006 BEST Female Vocal CD/SACD/XRCD
I also prefer female vocals...my pick would be Eva Cassidy. I only got to know her music this year but since I was first introduced I have purchased all of her cds. There are so many more but she is the first one I thought of. 
Hard drive storage still need good cd player?
I have both. For me, I have over 40K songs so for the sake of hard drive space I rip at 256 VBR to MP3 format. For critical listening I use my cdp. I am able to discern a loss in soundstaging and imaging with my digital music. Things sound compres...

Jack, congrats on your system. What do you think of the Ushers? I just got the Usher BE-10 and so far I love it! The clarity, soundstage, and dynamics are great!

Power Cord suggestions
Have you tried auditioning cables from the Cable Co? You are going to get a lot of different suggestions based on people's personal preferences and setup which is different than yours. 
B&W 803Diamond or Revel Ultima Studio
