Exactly what you do about vibration, power, or cables depends on your budget. Keeps these enhancement items in line with your overall budget (20%). Look to AudiogoN for power chords and cables, look for quality wall recepticles, brass spikes, do the little things like keeping cables off the carpet, cleaning your records and routing cables away from one another.
