I think that the accessory the ICBM needs is not a new component at all, but a set-up aid. In order to properly manage system calibrations etc, you need test signals (like Avia or Video Essentials for the monitor calibrations) so. . .

1) The short stack is a DVD-A and a SACD with 'Outlaw quality' test signals and calibration tracks.

2) There are 2 disks; a DVD-A disk and a SACD disk.

3) The comes from the similarities in size of digital disks to the previously referenced breakfast treat and the quantity of two completes the analogy 'short stack'.

Even if its not the right answer, a good disk of 5.1 (or more) test signals would be nice. I've tuned my system using an old car audio 2 channel disk and switching my outputs from the 1050 to my amp accordingly. What a hassle. . .

Thanks for the opportunity to submit.
