tweaks

I also recommend the P300 for the source and preamp, and additionally a used ultimate outlet for the amplifier. I use the same combination, and I found very useful both.

Walker Audio's Extreme SST contact enhancer applied according to instruction on all of your contacts will significantly improve the clarity and resolving capabilities of your system. I recommend starting there before buying any sort of hardware. Also, make sure you've done the simple things that are so easy to overlook: make sure your cables are not lying on a synthetic carpet, if they are lift them 5-12 inches; separate all of your cables from each other by 4 or more inches; separate your components; experiment with some isolation under you equipmennt all choices here sound different.

If you haven't already run a dedicated AC line for your equipment, do so if you can: it's fundamental.

If you're intent on power conditioning, get a Walker Velocitor for a 30-day money back trial. You will be amazed.

Good luck in your exdperiments!

I put in some cable elevators after just using glasses to raise off carpet...wow!it was like getting a new peice of gear,also inveted in a acoustic revive demagnitizer,clean first with optrix then demagnitize.

You can accomplish WAY more w/ room acoustics than by throwing away more money on specialized little accessories. Play around w/ speaker placement & aim, as well as surfaces (especially the floor).

I echo the thoughts on the PS-300. I just got it back from being modded, so it's even better now. While it was gone I mainly watched movies.
