Not in love with my system yet. Help!
@havocman  Sorry to break it to you but MC has the corner on the market around here for calling people dumb.  Back off. 
Not in love with my system yet. Help!
What would we do without MC trying to make everyone look and feel stupid? It's his form of payment for dolling out advice.   
Room Treatment, Panel Sound Diffusers
For $100 per 4 x 2 ft panel I’d easily go with GIK as it will include a wooden frame and diffusor which is really advantageous compared to straight Owens Corning absorption. You could never make this for $20 per panel, they will be perfect in pres... 
Record for vinyl.
vinyl sales have for the first time ever outpaced CD. That’s the real story. So wrong...the real story is that almost everyone streams their music these days. Record sales have outpaced CD sales for the last couple of years but that’s not the REA... 
Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog?

Vinyl sourced from digital doesn't sound better than CD.  
Better speakers

Best Power cable around/prefer under $300....

For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question.
@mikeydred   Yeah, those Tektons are among the ugliest components, and certainly as residential pieces of furniture, that I have laid eyes on . As wonderful as all the reviews are on Tektons, in fact claiming to challenge and beat out many $30K ...
