Mattybumpkin,Very nice website. Thanks! 
Home made power strips
Wagzel-Thanks for the info! I also am aware of B-P-T's PPC, $199 plus cord. I would still prefer to buy upgraded components and build it myself. I wonder if isolation from EMI and RFI in the box is important if the other AC cords are not shielded ... 
40ft: speaker cable or interconnect?
The Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 is what I chose because of the same situation. Plain vanilla, but I wanted a shielded cable due to running it very near other interconnects, AC lines and outlets. The cost for 40 foot pair is $110 plus shipping. I placed ...

Jalapenos-great idea. I have a lot of respect for Chris and his products. I could not duplicate the hotbox and its level of materials. I wonder if I could come close myself? Any other ideas? 
Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free
I think Shadorne is on the right track. I would worry about the environment of the circuit box-humidity and corrosion. For what its worth, none of my certified electrician friends recommend switching circuit breakers off and on. Is this considered... 
Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free
The improvement you perceive is simply what you want to hear. Creating a clear path from your circuit box to your system is important, but resetting the current from your service to your equipment by interrupting the current is nothing more than s... 
Where did the sound go?
As Arthur states, it is the room. You will have to completely rethink your position and the placement of each speaker. Sometimes the position of the speakers for best sound does not fit well with watching your display. You are probably sitting in ... 
Furniture polish vs. Walker ultra vivid on cd's
Elizabeth, You are twisted....in a good way! 
Whose got best class D at this point?
My Von Schweikert VR-4JRs are driven by Bel Canto M300s and sound fantastic. No interference with radio, plenty of clean power, affordable. I had no dealers to compare other brands, just took a chance. Underwood Wally said I could return them if I... 
Von Schweikerts VR4 JR's and SR's?
To address the issue of the VR-4JRs and subs, I already had a Hsu VTR-3R mark II when I added the VR4JRs (mark I). I love the speakers and could afford them because the Mark II were released. I run the VR-4 JRs at full frequency and let the sub ru... 
Creek 5350SE - Phone Board installed or not?
It is an option that you may add on to the unit. If you bought it new, it did not have the board installed unless you requested it. If you bought it used, you can ask the seller. 
Jolida or Shanling?
I love my Jolida 1501RC running my Dynaudio 70 floorstanding speakers. I don't listen at very high volume. I would describe the sound as full and rich. Not the ultimate in detail, but very easy to listen to for hours. Great price for a hybrid amp ... 
What are the best monitor speakers for classical?
My small music room is 10' x 13' with vaulted ceilings. I have the OVn Schweikert VR-1s and a small REL 108 sub. This setup is best with classical music and Jazz. See my equipment for other details, but I highly recommend the VR-1s. 
Inexpensive Multichannel 3x Amp for HT add-on
A solution I have used for several years was 3 Outlaw mono amps for my surrounds. HT is less important for me, thus the use of simple SS amps. I recently sold two of them for $200 each, so $600 for three should be available. Good luck! 
Are turntable interconnects different??
I personally believe that the signals from the turntable are so minute that I want my interconnect from TT to phono stage to be shielded and short. The phono stage will amplify the noise as well as the signal. The interconnect from the phono stage...
