Integrated amp, looking for suggestions & comments
Thanks for the comments and suggestions.Phasecorrect & Eril, what difference does it make to be in class a versus ab? 
Causes of long term listening fatigue?
I agree with the electronics as the starting point to address LF. Two months ago, I replaced my modified Music Hall CD25 cdp with an EAD CD1000 series III cdp. I changed nothing else to include my listening environment. The sound was much easier o... 
new at this
I had an Adcom preamp and Adcom amp (7500 also) combination before. I switched to a Sunfire preamp and Sunfire amp combination. I'm happier with the Sunfire vice the Adcom. The Adcom seemed to lack in overall strength/authority (amp) and my system... 
VooDoo Power Cables
I wrote up a review on VooDoo Reference speaker cable last year. It was my real speaker wire and I noticed a big difference in the way my system sounded. Okay, I was replacing some Monster speaker wire. A few months ago, I spent an entire day A/B ... 
Which SS amps sound like a tube amp?
I've never heard a tube amp before but the Sunfire amps have two sets of connections to the speakers. One is "voltage" source which is supposed to be more like solid state and "current" source which is supposed to be more like tubes. Again, this i... 
isolation transformer vs line conditioner
I think it would help to know the difference between an isolation transformer and a line conditioner. Also, it would probably help to know which one is better for typical applications. 
Best Speaker Cable choices for Solid State system
Larry,My system is on the bright side (using Klipsch horn speakers). I really love the NBS speaker cables (Signature series and above), they tame the brightness quite well. I also had great results with my VooDoo Reference speaker cables.Mike 
TRL 595-how good is it?
Has anyone compared the TRL 595 to the modified Music Hall CD25? If so, what were the differences? 
Anyone know of any cryoed speaker wire?
I'm using VooDoo Reference Bi-Wire speaker cable that is cryogenically treated and am very happy with them. Here is a link and Bruce is great to deal/work with:http://www.voodoopowercords.com/ 
Klipsch love them or hate them.
I have a set of KLF-20 Legend Series Klipsch speakers that I use for 2 channel right now and eventually will be used for my HT too. These Klipsch speakers absolutely rock! They are incredibly dynamic and make you feel like you are right there gett... 
Who offers the best mod for Music Hall cd25?
PartsConnexction. I think that the way to compare is their approach on what to mod inside and with what parts. IMHO 
Sony DVD recomendations..
I have Sony DVP-S500D and it has an excellent transport on it. The unit will run you between $50-$75 used. 
How's my imaging?
Luis,Thanks for the tips. I would like to see if I can get the center imaging down a little. It's not really critical but I'll have to try your suggestion. You might also be right that I have a ceiling reflection situation. I don't have any type o... 
How's my imaging?
I changed some of the distances, the changes were:1. 8'5" feet between the two front speakers (from the center of the woofer cone to the center of the other woofer cone)2. 9'0" feet between the plane (face) of the front speakers to my seating posi... 
How's my imaging?
I'll try and move my seating position in a little and see how that affects the imaging (I'd rather not bring the front speakers out too much farther if I don't have too).Luis,I don't have any acoustical treatment on any of my walls of ceiling. I'l...
