Pass X-250 or Sim Audio Moon W-5 to Drive B&W N802
59Burst,Krell amps work fine with B&Ws but you need a very good preamp, my preference would be a tube preamp. I use the Pass X-250 power amp and I have a BAT VK-30SE and a Pass X-1 preamp to drive B&W matrix 803s. I know that the 803s were...

Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green

SACD player for CD
Bigtee is correct with the Meridian comments. I compared my Sony SCD-777ES directly to the 508.24 and the Meridian was better, not by a hugh margin, but better. The SOny was literally brand new out of the box. I did not buy the Meridian for two re...

PayPal Question.
I had no trouble getting a live person but they were unwilling to do anything but tell me that I must verify the payment option first and that the system does not make mistakes. Well it did for me. 
Anyone ever heard of the Shunyata and Cardas
I comapred the Shunyata speaker cables to the Audience and my own DIY cable. Do a serach and you should find it. I preferred my DIY cables over both. The AZ Holograms is a different question. WIll try there ICs next. 
SACD player for CD
Get the Sony SCD-777ES and then go for a mod. It will improve both the SACD and redbook CD play back and compete with higher priced CDPs for less.

Best line conditioner???
A dealer also told me about the Audio Magic Matrix (Fmpnd) already has. Stehno also states another condieration. Shunyata will be out with a new conditioner and very inexpensive along with a cheaper revised Hydra.
