goal was good quality peices, balanced together to present a pleasing audio experience

A) in a small room

B) on a reasonable budget

c) with a smile on my wifes face with how it looks in the room.

so far so good. cables are pnf symphony for speakers BJC for ic's. power conditioning is dedicated lines, quantum symphony, and a belkin pf30. i'd really like to hot rod this rig to the fullest before really evaluating. i feel it has real pleasurable potential. things on the list: for HT...nothing, it simply is spectacular. for 2 channel: source(looking at a PS1).

isolation(herbies). power(i have a wiremold strip, thinking of going with an audience rp1 and the strip. the blue circle peed al sea thingee really interests me as well. power cord( ps audio ac-3 for everything to start). lastly the room(thinking some resonators from acoustic systems intl.) it'll take some time, but worth it. for now i sit and enjoy. btw, it was mostly audiogon built and i can't thank everyone enough for their patience and assistance. d.
