cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade
Dekay, I have black diamond cones and "those things" under the player and everything in the system is wired with Transparent "super" including the pc. I also had some dots applied to some of the components inside, I think they where Marigo? or som... 
POWER: conditioners vs filters vs cords
I have had good results with power wedge 116, you might find one used in your budget. As with the above post though, you will want to try your amp with and without it. 
New Speaker Cable for New System
stick with Transparent. 
Why does it sound less dynamic?
I agree with Joe. Dvd players are for dvds,unless you go to the VERY high end. Look for a used transport. It shouldn't run you too much. 
Interconnects for Tube amps
Transparent are also networked and if you buy into the premium line, about $450.00 they offer a upgrade program from there so if you do you will not lose your initial investment. 
Single-ended amps with Martin Logans
Cornfed, A YUGO!!!! come on. Its at least a nice sedan, 
Martin Logan Aerius with subwoofer ?????
I have Aerius I, the "sub" tbone refers too rolls off at 40hz and is also DESIGNED to blend with the panel. Not exactly what I would call a sub by any means. Any way I have not been able to match a sub well with mine but I have not tried anything ... 
feelings on Klipsch subs for audio systm
I had a klipsch years ago, but it got old. Just was not that fast and could never get it to blend well. Do not remember what model, but I think it was around $700.00 Ended up moving to a Mirage bp 150 (2 x 8" with 150 watt amp) for $750.00 which b... 
Top Ten Speaker Cables of all time?...
Megasam, 10k is insane but have you compared 10k cables to 1k cables? This doesn't count if the 1k set was yours because you will automatically want to pick them, and in your mind they will sound better. 
Why Is Krell Not Considered Hifi?
I have only heard Krell at a local dealer that uses Monster cable so I do not think that really counts as fair listening session, it still did not sound bad. I just can not imagine that equipment that looks to be very of good build quality and des... 
MIT and tubes
yep, heard they started using them. Must be something to the "network" thing afterall. Still trying to get up with a fellow audio club member that has MIT, I think shotgun or something like that, for a taste test.I hear if the cable is just right ... 
MIT and tubes
Yea, Gateway mixes like that all the time. 
NAD dvd-the new one vs Pionner Elite 37
unless you spend allot more than 1k i doubt you will be able to beat your Krell with a combo dvd/cd player. I just tried to do the same thing and I was only trying to outclass a Cal. Audio Ikon MKII. I tried Pioneer DV-05 and Sony 7700, ended up b... 
What's most important?
11x9x7? I would stick to monitor sized speakers, better to roll off the bottom then have too much for the room. 
MIT and tubes
Carl, not to nit-pick but after some more research of both sites, I notice that Transparent has links for awards and studios that use Transparent ref. No such luck for MIT.
