How would you spend my next $5K?
I guess I second running a couple of dedicated lines. It all starts off with the AC quality. ozzy  
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
audiom3, Nice system. I think it does depend on the equipment and the cables. Some exhibit large break in differences some do not. But I agree that most cables start out ok, but as I have experienced this can change dramatically. ozzy  
AudioQuest Pegasus vs Thunderbird Interconnects
jetter, I would guess that if the wire was taken off a spool, then yes, the entire spool could be processed (burned in). Some of the more exotic designs (like AQ) that would be unpractical. I believe that having music playing through the cables ...

mark200mph, or to whomever can answer: Question: Do you know how to take the top cover off? I like to take pictures of the inside of my equipment, but there does not seem to be any external fasteners. ozzy  
Stuff You Tried To Love
I have had many. But what sticks out in my mind is the Sonic Frontiers equipment. I had the CD Player and the Dac. The player must have had the Phillips transport and never really worked right. Disc's were constantly getting stuck inside. I had t...
