Power conditioner for amps
Gmood1:What kind of power conditioner are you using?Tom. 
Best single-malt Scotch...
Another vote for Lagavulin. Rich flavor, smooth delivery. Gets me every time. I've tried many others, and enjoyed them, but I keep coming back. Now, I just need to get over to the UK and try the 25 and 30 years!Tom. 
Which CD's for Imaging/Soundstage?
Dean Peer - Ucross. It's hard to believe that you can get soundstaging from a single instrument, but this excellent recording really does set up an enveloping sound, with excellent imaging. I first heard it on a pair of Martin Logans, and I bought... 
Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list
The best recording that I own is Dean Peer's "Ucross." I first heard this recording playing through a pair of Martin Logans in a high end audio store, and it turned out that they liked that CD so much that they arranged with the artist to sell it ... 
How to keep my stack of Adcoms cool...
Wow, those are some quiet fans, Errivera! However, I had just ordered two Middle Atlantic QFans (50 CFM, 30db) and one of MA's Thermostatic Controls (turns fans on/off and varies fan speed based upon temp) before I read your post. We'll see how th...

How to keep my stack of Adcoms cool...

How to keep my stack of Adcoms cool...
Both good responses. However, the entertainment center option was a compromise solution, taking spousal approval factors into consideration. I am probably stuck with the unit (and it's fairly nice, for what it is). I am currently thinking about tr... 
Top Ten Speakers of All Time?
I've got to support Thiel. It's hard to pick an exact model, but I've heard a good number of them, and to my ears, they are the best all around speakers that I have heard. But if I had to vote for a particular model, then I'd say the CS3.6, which ...
