Yes, you did. But you didn't mention how reasonable! How much did you

Thanks for the detailed reply. I think the source was a DTS cd. I'll
borrow a track to see if that works. If so, I may be buying some of
those myself.

not want to re-rip them with EAC so I can
understand that but if you are starting or continuing to rip then why
wouldn't you use EAC? Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Some people swear by their Plextor drives but using EAC in secure mode
along with AccurateRip levels the playing field as far as I'm
concerned.

Replacing THX certified Monster Cable. Don't know the exact spec but I
needed longer cables and wanted to bi-wire my Magnepan 3.5Rs.I
replaced every cable in my system with items from blue
I was considering the anti-cables but I have longer runs which made them
cost prohibitive. I just purchased from bluejeanscable.com and am happy

If a different/better power supply which costs maybe $20 delivers a

I'm also hoping this will give me a "richer"
sound in the family room driving the Monitor 9s. I'll let you know how
it sounds when I get it all hooked up!
Thanks again to all who gave me valuable feedback.
The monitor 9s have 8" woofers but I have them set to small, I'll play
with it to see if it makes a difference. I thought my sub was pretty
good so I opted for settings which would utilize it more often.
Definitely need to reassess things based on feedback here. Thanks
again.

What type of differences should I expect to hear after bi-wiring?
Should it be subtle or noticeable? Would that cause me to change the
small/large or the crossover settings?
