    Wiring up my 12 zone house

    For now wiring is the most important part. I'd recommend running speaker wire and Cat5 (Ethernet) to each wall location where you expect to put a volume control, then speaker wire from there to where you expect the speakers to go.

    Anything that looks like a power conditioner but is NOT? Just need a nice looking power "strip"

    I chose a Panamax M5400-PM. The M5300-PM is the same thing without the voltage regulator for less money, but at the time I made the purchase the 5400 was on sale so it was actually a little cheaper. As of today both are on sale and the 5300 is less expensive, if I was buying today I would...

    Stereo amplifier suggestions

    If you prefer to use a separate system for two channel, but still want to use the same speakers with your AVR, you might look for an integrated amp with home theater bypass (sometimes called pass through). The way it works is you run 12v trigger and L/R pre out from the AVR to the integrated...

    Please help me choose a turntable...

    VPI might be worth considering with McIntosh. Made in USA and the Prime would look great with Mc. I have a Scout Jr myself, have enjoyed it.
