Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Ratshack 12 gauge biamped to front speakers, blister pack interconnects (well, a few Monster cable interconnects I bought on a bad day when I couldn't find any other interconnects the right length...) Oh and some power cords that employ the strong nuclear force (see tweaks below). |
Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): | Atlantis racks cause they look nice and are well built. A monster power condition (HTPS 7000) that I won at a raffle and use on the video side of my home theater. Why anyone would buy that thing at that price when much cheaper alternatives are available I have no clue but the front panel looks impressive. |
Tweaks: | I put a piece of the Blarney Stone in the room and the soundstage became miles wide, there was so much air in the music a tornado spawned in the middle of the room, and I could even hear what Diana Krall was thinking between the songs. I also have a set of power cords that employ the strong nuclear force as an integral part of their makeup which is essential to their signal integrity (cool eh?). |
