Jla,
Nice system there! Please comment on your digital set up. I have been avoiding a server of some sort, but surely sooner or later were all going for it, right? How is it working for you?
Being a married guy myself I totally get the utmost importance of keeping the Missus happy. However, it does look like your Bryston amp could use some room to breathe. My pre used to sit right on top of the amp, but then I raised it by installing another shelve in my rack, and the performance enhancement was immediately evident, not to mention that by running such a hot amp you may be risking a fire hazard. Now THAT will get the Missus going ;-)
Happy listening!!!
