One thing I noticed, I placed a little pebble on top of my amp. As I move it around it changes the sound!

Amazing. If anyone wants one let me know, I think I can reproduce them for $1,397.31 each.

Plus shipping and handling.

I started braiding, but then just did a twist of the three Cat-5 cables. I was working with 20 foot runs and the braiding was taking too long; hence, simple twist, some heat shrink, and then the Tech-Flex. Poked a lot of holes in my fingers working with the ends. They look nice, sound fine, and were more or less free.

I really get a kick out of those wire risers that I've seen. Your pebble sounds like a plan; however, I much prefer my stone pyramid that sits on mine.

Everyone seems to be overlooking the most critical component in a dedicated audio system.

If you still have doubts about the effectiveness of your rekkerd player setup, you might contact the utility company and inquire about replacing your entrance cables with 4/0 silver litz braid, and ask about any contractors in your area who have experience at constructing a Faraday cage around a home.

You could be completely BS-ing here, and I wouldn't have a clue. I plug my stereo into a surge protector/ power strip. The lights come on and sound comes out. If I put on good source material, I generally like the sound that is coming out.

Funny thing about investing a fortune in the AC supply to audio equipment. About all that matters is that the AC supply is in the correct voltage range. Once it enters the unit it is transformed to DC voltage and then is filtered with capacitors. You can replace that $8000 dollar IEC power cord with an $8 lamp cord and achieve the same results.

I can cut some wood blocks with a v cut on top to hold your cables off the floor. $25 each is a bargain. Then you can isolate your gear with neoprene covered cork. Commonly used to isolate commercial AC systems. I could make a grand of of one sheet of that stuff.

I learned my lesson. I still have those stiff cables on the McSystem, because they look cool. Everywhere else------18 gauge wire from Radio Shack.

I never bought into the cable crap but then stumbled into some Kimber Kable dirt cheap and actually noticed a difference. Prolly all in my head but it was there on anothers system as well.

I've noticed that a carton of Stella Cirrhosis and blowing a gallon of snot out of my noggin makes a HELL of a difference in MY rekkerd player.

Like you say, it's all in your head.
