What multi channel amp sounds like a Class A two channel?
Classe' puts the larger effort in their analogue section of their multi channel amps, and should do the trick for you. I use a Musical Fidelity HT600 5 channel amp, and it compares well to anything, but it offers only 120 watts per channel, and if... 
Leave it on or turn it off?
I used to turn on my gear in the a.m. and turn it off at night, but lately I've been leaving my amp and pre-amp on and only shutting off the cd player. Things seem to be fine when I turn the CD player on and off, but my amp and pre-amp only seem t... 
Please help me choose CD isolation
Wow! I've got a bit of research to do, and a few great suggestions to try out. You have all really helped point me in the right direction, and I can't thank you all enough for taking such care in your descriptions. By the way, I recently bought so... 
Please help me choose CD isolation
You have all been great, thanks again! I still hope to hear more details about the kind of differences you have experienced with these various devices. 
I just heard the Nautilus 800
Thanks Khaki, I'll check that out ASAP. 
Please help me choose CD isolation
Hi Angela, I am still using my Monster HTS3500 power conditioner, but will eventually switch (or add) a PS Audio power generator. Good to see you around as well! Whatjd, thanks for all of the helpful tips, I'll certainly double check some of the t...

Steve71,Thanks for the heads up! Look forward to hearing them, (if I can find a dealer that has them set up). 
laid back, warm interconnects with tight bass clean highs
Sean is probably right, but if Cardas doesn't work out, check out Harmonic Technology's "Truthlink". If you can live with deep, but not the tightest bass, it is a lovely and unsurpassed cable in its' price range and has the other qualities you are... 
who makes good sub cables
Oz, do you know the model number or name of the XLOcable you are recommending. I wonder if it outguns my DH Labs BL 1? 
who makes good sub cables
Ringo, DH Labs (BL-1) and XLO make very good cables designed specifically for subs within your budget. My BL-1 works well with my REL sub. Try fatwyre.com , this is the website for The Cable Company, or eaudionet.com. They can order it for you, an... 
Vienna Acoustics "Mahler"
The Aeriel 7B's sound similar, but are way better IMO, and unless I am mistaken, are less expensive. I would say that the Vienna's might be nice for Classical music, but are not versatile enough. If you do get them you can still be sure of having ... 
Advice on stand mounting, please

BW Nautilus 802, blow away Nautilus 803
Good luck with the 802's Devan. I hope to have a pair of my own, but need to find a bigger place to live first. My 805's will have to do for now. Have you ever heard the 802's as fronts, with the 805's in the rear? I have been wondering what that ... 
Hate to ask......
Get a projector! (not trying to crack wise), I think about a projector as the last step towards a more realistic home theater, getting the TV out of the way should improve the soundstage. 
BW Nautilus 802, blow away Nautilus 803
Hi Doug, I said the reason for the 802's sounding bright was that the equipment that was being used was not well matched ("chosen"). I was not disputing anything in your observations. I would love to hear them again under better playback condition...
