Pandora One on Home Audio System
Nice :-)That id 100 should work well! I'm not 100% sure about the ipod gen 2 not working; it's all dependent on what ios you are running. See if you can download the current ios. Also the id100 may not be as finiky as the wadia; hopefully not. I'l... 
My system has a narraw sounstage, lacks dynamics.
Hey, that could be my stage name! Fella B :-)Ah, I love it!All of my jokes would be audio related and none of them would be funny, just like in real life!

Sarcastic comedian? 
advice needed on 1st real stereo system
My advice would be to slow down; don't make the mistake that I made and rush into everything. Second, the nova would be a far better choice in my oppinion. I just helped my brother put together a system and was looking first at the inova (80 watts...

I use a wadia 170i. I paid $100 for mine without a remote. The drawback of the wadia is it is picky about what gen ipod or iphone actually works. I think gen 3 ipod touch will work; gen 2 ipod touch is too old to download ios 5 or higher, which is... 
Cable Current Flow Direction
Tls49, interesting. I'm not one to buy into the b.s.; call me skeptical but... When I had a horrible ground loop hum, I was switching everything around to try to get rid of it and accidently hooked up a pair of audioquest diamond back rca's up in ...

Lol... We are all very bad people :-) 
Listener fatigue: what does it really mean?
Mezmo, I actually have all of Trixie Whitleys songs that I could get from Spotify too. I love female vocals and wouldn't say that she has the best or most refined voice out there by a long shot, but she is my favorite female vocalist. I absolutely...

Nicholas, it looks like your original nad ipod dock doesnt bypass the dac in the ipod. If you get a dock that bypasses the ipod doc, and hook it up to a good external dac and stream mog or spotify premium, you'll be happy imho. I bought pandora on... 
If not B&W 802 speakers then what speakers?
Take a look at tyler acoustics! D1's for around 5k? Reference series is more laid back if you prefer that sort of sound :-) 
Classe CA100 - Static, Cut Outs when cold. Ideas?
FWIW, I have a classe ca-150 and have never had a single problem with it and love the sound of it. I say just try leaving it on 24 / 7. It's kinda like when you go to the Dr. And tell him it hurts when you do "this", so he says "well don't do that!" 
Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out?
Lol MT, Ha Ha!All Jokes aside, I can't believe I'm the only one. I don't know if it's the voice coils because it doesn't smell like burning electronics, or burning anything for that matter. It does smell more like batting / wood glue perhaps but p... 
Listener fatigue: what does it really mean?
Lol, Sonic. You know, my musical tastes have vastly widened over the past 9 months. I'm listening to a little classical, some country (Chris Whitley), some jazz, alot of music I never had an interest in before but I can honestly say, Kenny G. has ... 
Whats my weak link?
? How does this apply to my pre amp possibly being the weakest link? Are you saying that it only sounds mediocre after one year of ownership, but after ten years of ownership, it starts sounding really good? 
Is it all in my head?
To update the thread, I can now hear a difference. Cd player with z dac sounds best, followed by streaming spotify with wadia 170 using z dac, followed by cd player using its own internal dac. Don't know if the dac opened up as it broke in or if n...
