Stehno & Rick:
1) Stehno is right on the money--I decided not to go for surround and sold my brand new Mirage MBS Bipolars. Matching my Swans's ribbon tweeter would be a feat, too. Incredible dynamics and soundstage!
2) Rick, I have your same DVD player (and a Cambridge D300SE CDP) both hooked to a Soundstream/Krell DAC-1. The DVD is under a 27" SONY WEGA. It sits on four Vibrapods which in turn are on an mdf board with Blue Tack under each corner. I have a little Rat Shack power strip with surge supressor and '30 dB noise filter'. It looks and sounds decent. Now this weekend I purchased a used 3000 W ONEAC isolation transformer with noise filtering (220V in/ 110 V out). Simply stunning! What an amazing little DVD player!
And I read Audioquest(¿?) made a power cord for those types of units! My Tice A/V Solo will eventually end up there plugging TV, DVD and my Proton 600T Preamp/Video Tuner.
Lessons:
(a) optimize what you already own.
(b) proper power conditioning will take you very far.
Regards,
Francisco
