BEST match for B&W Natilus 802s
Classe Amps IMO do not sound analytical , so something sounds strange here. What Classe Amp is it ? B&W.s require lots of juice, many people like bi wire, what CDP are you running, what cables are you using etc. 
A worse feeling than burning out your amp?
Been Their, done that, sucks. Slim chance its just an internal fuse, but I bet you blew one channel. 
AV pre/pro's with "analog" volume control?
Classe. 
Best Cd Player under $100,000
Technics DVDA-10. 
Mac 252, 353, 402?
I usually see good prices on Classe pre's on the gon, and they are truly balanced. 
Mac 252, 353, 402?
Agree. Get a 352 or 402 and dont look back. 
Best AV Processor for 2 channel
The Majority of Power amps have both RCA and XLR inputs , with a toggle switch depending upon which you want to use. So you could easily have an anlog pre using the XLR, and a processor or reciever feeding the RCA's . Just have to flip the switch. 
best powecords for Quicksilver M60 monoblocs
I really like the HT fantasy cords, well made , good sound, reasonably priced on the gon. VD can be a good choice if you need to "liven" up a component , however you need lots of space in the back of your components. 
Your First Hi-Fi Hankering?
A Big Ass Sansui Reciever with Radio Shack top of the Line Tower Speakers , it really was a nice step up from those department store machines everyone had at the time. 
Amplifier recommendation for Legacy Focus 20/20
Krell, Mac , or Classe, all would do the trick, just a matter of your personal preference. 
Magnets on cables?
Its Possible that a magnetic field may be our highway to a higher power. Man that was deep. I better lay down. 
Review: Ridge Street Audio Poiema Interconnects
Yes nice cables , I have them , the music seems to float on air and offer a sophisticated presentation in my system. 
Is 200 watts too much for an NHT AudioCenter One?
The Swamp Man is on the money. Im currently driving a Paradigm Cinema Series Center , rated at 100 watts , with a Classe 101 in mono , sending 300 Watts. And NHT's love power, so crank away ! 
Pioneer Elite PDR-99 system problem
I have a Pioneer CDR.....sometimes when it acts funky , the solution is to just press The Play button , let the disc play for twenty, thirty seconds, and see if operation thereafter returns to normal. Works for me, good luck. 
Is the JPS DIGITAL cable as good on CD as reviewed
It did not float my boat.
