| Favorite Classical Conductor Followup For those interested in a sample of Kleiber's work, his recording of Beethoven's 5th symphony with the Vienna Philharmonic is a must have. The current CD reissue on the DG Originals label (catalog #447400) also has a great reading of the 7th symph... | |
| Favorite Designer Richard E. Lord (REL) Subwoofers; Michael "Creek" great budget equipment; Mike Vansevers (AC power conditioiners and cords); Dr. William "Conrad" and Dr. Lewis "Johnson"; Stan Warren (modifying other's equipment brands). | |

| Rel Storm and Rel Strata III They are both nice subs. Take your pick. One reason I chose the Storm had nothing to do with a comparison of the two. I was just a lucky duck in the right place at the right time. Some guy ordered two. One had a (very) small cosmetic ding on one e... | |
| Rel Storm and Rel Strata III PS: I have read other comments like Redkiwi's. I have also tried both. The Storm tightens up considerably if you upgrade the stock computer grade power cord that comes with it. (Yes is does have the IEC power cord connection.) I bought the Storm III | |
| subwoofers I think the subs closer to $2K such as REL, etc, are worth it if you have the money. The Stratus III or Storm III are both good choices, the Strorm having more power for a larger room. Subs at or under $1K to consider are the Monitor Audio ASW110 ... | |
| Rel Storm and Rel Strata III There are magazine reviews on both subs at www.hifichoice.co.uk | |
| Running bi-wire cables backwards OK? I would read the information at Vansevers.com on direction current flow. | |

| Moderately priced phono preamps I use to own a Rotel RQ-970 and it was great for my needs. I now have a preamp with phono, the only reason I sold it. It is a Stereophile recommended component if that matters to you. | |
| AV receivers to stay away from?? You will find someone that has had problems with every model if you ask around long enough. The brands you list are all very good. Onkyo's high end line will have "Integra" in the name. | |
| Power Conditioners The PS Audio is/are not a conditioner. They actually convert the AC Power back into DC and then regenerate perfectly clean AC Power. If you can afford one of those give it a try. Make sure you get the right model for your equipment. PS Audio will ... | |
| SACD player is not that great. Stan Warren will work on most Pioneer or Onkyo DVD players with the Burr Brown 24bit chip. |
