I walked into a dealer and got a shock....
What was that famous line in the movie, 'Amadeus' where, after hearing one of Mozart's longer works, the King remarked..."Too many notes...." 
Dedicated circuit's' ? or one dedicated circuit?
A 30 amp circuit will not trip until the load is so far up there that your equipment at the other end will be by that time toasted.What if something is really wrong and you have a defective fuse...one that won't burn out?Uour strip could fail and ... 
Anyone ever refoam Bose 901's?
Makes me consider going into attic and giving my pair of 901s a listen.Then again, I can think of better things to do. 
Will this work???
For a non-gamer the 40G PS3 is plenty...and you get Blu-Ray with it. I would try for HDMI when going for the 5.1.Also, even without HDMI you can get really good Hi-Def signals from the PS3 to the Denon as most DVDs are not yet protected, albeit th... 
how does the transporter rate
Y'all should venture back to that great Audiogon Thread..."What Is Jitter..."Answer: Not much to worry about.... 
how does the transporter rate
I agree that the Transporter has moved my CDs to the proverbial 'back shelf' even as my CD player is the Audio Aero Capitole. Moving my music library to my G5 and using Apple Lossless is really good and so much easier. 
how does the transporter rate
I have for almost a year been running my Transporter through my Audio Aero Capitole using the AES/EBU cable. I have tried skipping the AA and using the Transporter DAC and I find this too analytic and lacking the 'musicality' of the AA. This has w... 
HDMI Alternatives
A good mechanic won't bend a cable too much. I somehow think somebody is just not willing to do it.The problem is that only a well manufactured HDMI cable, with proper factory terminations will give you the 'handshake' required for future copy pro... 
Blu Ray connectability HDMI / Component
Lots of people for the time being are getting great picture quality from Blu-Ray via component.The restrictions are coming but not for a long time. Get the Blu-Ray, enjoy it in your current system and do your display catch-up when you need to.Ther... 
Balanced vs. unbalanced
I prefer to stay with the design of the system. If the components are not truly balanced to begin with then I try to stick with RCA connectors.I go with the alternative balanced connections when I am running the signal to a secondary listening are... 
Give Up?
you probably tapped/moved/bumped the cable while working on the unit. Or, maybe someone took an opportunity to clean back behind while you were tinkering.Cable was already going....it just got nudged along. 
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
This might be amp specific. Better power cords don't have much of an impact on my McIntosh 2102 amps while they do on my Audio Aero Capitole amp.I might try the isoclean product on my Audio Aero.

That ASC link might be good to look into, 
Audio Aero Capitole amp
I own one and I am very happy with it.The power supply failed and we replaced it with a really nice one ane this improved the sound very much.Also, it is sensitive to tube rolling so this can be fun. 
Has anyone used "Quiet Rock" sheet rock in room?
It can replace normal sheetrock or greenboard. My contractors are using is throughout the job. It has a paperless backing so it is not receptive to mold. There is some fiberglass involved, I think.Again, my own 'test' is one of a field observation...
