Anyone else in my shoes? Ears going.........
I'm in my upper forties and I can tell that my ears aren't what they used to be....enjoy what you have is my motto! 
Power Cable - what´s your best?
I agree with Hooper on the VH Audio PC's ...I have four of them and think they offer a great value, not to mention absolutely great sound as well!!...I would recommend a Flavor 4 for your situation...good luck! 
Classe' Ten and Cary SLP-74 Sound?
A Cary SLI-80 should give you most of the sonic attributes that you currently already have...good luck and happy listening! 
Line Conditioner or New Power Cords?
For line conditioner/surge suppressor I would look into the API line..."power wedge" for the inexpensive line conditioner and go up from there!For power cords I am sold on VH Audio... flavors 1 through 4...great sound for a reasonable price, and C... 
home theater speakers newbie question
I would keep the center channel and the front left and right as close to being the same as you can...if you have 6 1/2" drivers in the fronts, then go with 6 1/2" drivers in the center...and yes, definetly go with the same brand of speakers as wel... 
LCD or DLP?
Neither LCD or DLP...with the prices of plasmas falling you can probably get a very nice HD set for well under $3000.00...you just have to look around!...good luck! 
Power Cords
I was never a believer in aftermarket, high dollar power cords, I mean how can the last 5 feet of wire make a difference? especially when there's literally hundreds of feet of standard, 12 ga. at best, romex in the walls...all I can recommend is t... 
Jolida 302B/502B?
I too, have the 302B along with the JD-100...I currently am running a pair of PSB Silvers with them and have just recently purchased a pair of Acoustic Zen Reference Matrix IC's...I just absolutely love the sound!! very detailed and involving...gr... 
Best Tweaks.....
Not necessarily the cheapest tweak...depends on who's doing it!...but I've found that a dedicated power line and some good outlets...Hubbell or Furutech ect. provided the best "tweak" for me....opened things up considerably! 
Getting all new cables and need sugestions
Go to http://www.signalcable.com/for under $300.00 for everything, you have descent stuff!....Good luck!! 
Speaker Cable suggestions
Take a look at VHaudio.com... Chris has some star quad cryoed cable for $5.99 a foot....looks pretty interesting IMO....he also sells the connectors as well!...I am thinking of trying to put together a pair of cables myself. Chris is a great guy t... 
Anyone Tried Raymond Cables??
Hello...I have a 1 meter pair of Raymonds silver tinned IC's and a 15' pair of his 10 ga. speaker cables with the 45 degree locking connectors along with a biwire set of jumpers...all I can say is that they all are very, very well made with what l...

I'm running a Jolida JD-302B with a pair of PSB Stratus Silvers with nice results...speaker cable...I playing with some 10 ga stuff from Raymond cable with great results as well!! 
Downsized and still happy, can it happen?
I ran an Aragon 2004 MkII with a Forte 40 preamp, driving a pair of Mirage m5's for a long time...I recently sold all of it and went to a Jolida JD-302B tube integrated with a Jolida JD-100 cdp and a pair of PSB Stratus Silvers and couldn't be hap... 
Amp for Mirage M-3s
I used to have M-5's and used an Aragon 2004MKII which is only 100 watts per channel and it used to drive the Mirage's wonderfully! Plenty of low end and of course the Aragon is built like a tank!
