I've been a beginner for a year now and I think my system is complete (maybe). If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to write. I also ran a power line from the breaker to my room in conjuction with a hubell receptical, hospital grade. All componets are placed on maple, hard wood stands 3"in. (see picture) Thank you to all Stereophile guys for all your help and suggestions for last year! Good luck and happy listening!
