TV gives me a headache when its on; any suggestions?

Listen to the music. Don't turn the TV on. Better yet, don't have a TV in the same room as the stereo. Better yet, have a dedicated listening room with acoustic treatment and a dedicated AC line and actually hear for the first time what your expen$ive equipment is capable of.

OK, read the apartment dweller part. You get a pass on the dedicated line. But the rest is mandatory....if you want the best sound.
