High priced power cords and power conditioners????
I am not wholly convinced that AC conditioners can make huge differences in systems. I beleive they can make a difference (a subtle one), but I have never heard a night and day sort of difference.AC cords on the other hand I think can make huge di... 
Ok this will be a good thread.
I do not draw a distinction between the most important component and the component that makes the most impact on system sound. To me they are one in the same.KF 
High priced power cords and power conditioners????
This is an interesting question.It is a very good question to.I would get the cords first.I am going to go out on a limb here... I have never heard the huge differences between AC conditioners that I have heard between power cords. Maybe it is bec... 
Help picking first amp....
I would highly recommend considering a GamuT D-100 solid state amp.If you do not need a lot of power it is hard to beat the D-100.Also, you might want to not run a CDP directly into an amp. I would wager you would get BETTER sound if you bought an... 
Review: Gamut D200 Amplifier
Nice review of the GamuT D-200.It is truly an under-rated amplifier because most people have never heard it.Those that have heard it in person, tend to always walk away impressed.I will be doing a review of the D-200 soon.KF

If i had the money.....
Oops, ERATA, I mistakenly wrote the LAMMS do 200wpc CLASS A into 4 ohms. LAMM owners only wish, heh heh...You are right Frank, The LAMMs do 100wpc pure CLASS A into 4 ohms. That is still pretty amazing since most amps cut actual Class A Power by a... 
If i had the money.....
1 - I do not have faith in technical stats given by a manufacturer about amplifiers. It is sort of like looking at stats of a NFL playoff game... The only thing that matters is what team wins. The only thing that matters is how the amp sounds.2 - ...

Audio Note: which are better AN-J/Spe or AN-E/L?
All I have to say is that I have heard the $20k Audio Note speakers, and I was not impressed. They were not the kind of sound I desired for $20k. Some people do love this kind of sound (the tonally correct but damn everything else sound). Basicall... 
Cable "burn in"
Yep, hooking a cable up to a tuner is about the cheapest way to burn it in.KF 
Do I need or want preamp tone controls
