Thanks man, I'm really looking foward to getting my gear up and running. The speakers I bought a couple of years ago, (Energy C3's) are still sitting in the closet, having never been used except for in the show room where I bought them, because I didn't want to run them out of my current receiver (Onkyo TX SV515).

I also have a brand new turntable sitting in the box in the closet (Rega), as well as a brand new NAD CD player just waiting for a new receiver to get them all worked up. The last thing on my list to do, is to buy speaker cable and interconnects and then either build or buy a new media shelving rack. I'm seriously thinking about building one, since I have a good idea of what I'd be using, and it might actually compare in structure to something from the Salamander line.

So what part of BK are you from/in ? I was actually born there, but have moved MANY times since those 34 years have passed ! I've also lived in Park Slope, and Brooklyn Heights during my years actually... (oh yeah, and Canarsie too, as well as having had many girlfriends in many different parts of Bk.)
