Signal cables...analog 1 or 2?
I use both as well.I have only crtically listened to the 2s. The 1s run from Sat. tuner to pre, 2s from CDP and DAC to pre. The 2s sound great, besting PBJs, Monster ref 2s, Transparent Musiclink 100s and 200s.They represent a great bargain IMO. T... 
Tweeter cone on my B&W 805 Naut's is pushed in
SUCK IT!I had a freind dent one of my tweeters (cdm-nt, same tweeter) and I sucked it out. I ordered a new one and replaced it though.I would have the seller cover that cost, if at all possible.The once dented tweeter sounded fine, but I wanted it... 
Suggestions for my system: Preamp?
Ahh the wonderful flexibility of NHT subs w/ external Xovers.Any 2 channel preamp of your choice can be used. Simply route the 2 channel signal through the Xover and then on to your amp.I did with my NHT sub2i and it didnt change the sonics to any... 
"AT Audiogon" "ON Audiogon" Help
I have heard that Monte Cristo has has produced a new "El Presidente William," cigar. It is a 70 ring size, for his and her enjoyment.Personally I havent smoked one yet, but I heard it is really a mouthful. 
Best HTIB??? Need help
Nah you dont need wheels for isolation. I think there there are vibrapods big enuff to handle the weight, if not just use multiples.I was thinking more along the lines of mobility, yunno this baby could make one helluva "tailgatin' machine." Just ... 
Best Pre-Pro especially considering 2 channel
No offense, but who buys bryston preamps these days? A good number of the recording studios that record, engineer, and ultimately market the music that you and I buy.And a few guys who like the sound and appreciate the warranty. 
Good ROCK speakers
My vote is to Klipsch as well. (as far as new stuff anyway)But what Avnut said couldnt be more true. A good clean front end (and back end as well) is always better.Ohh, and dont forget to bring a healthy plateful-o-watts to the table as well. 
Best HTIB??? Need help
Its "fully insulted", equipped with "Onkio" driving Bose "acustamass."One question, Does it have wheels? If so, its a no brainer. 
Affordable separate vs. high end receiver – which
It really depends...if you are like me, listen to a lot of 2 channel with some movies, and cant afford two sytems, then seperates is/are the way to go.I have lived with a rotel rsp-976 for about 2 years now. For the money its a solid performer. BT...

Another vote for Signal Cable, I must admit they are exceptional for the price, thanks for your input Triumph.I have never listened to a silver IC, Copper only. I read that they are somewhat more airy, or open on the top, but sometimes weak on the...

Thats sounds like a great idea Mike. My friend runs a recording studio/music store here in my town, so I can try a pair anytime.Thanks for the input Homedesign, I have been looking at that cable here on A'gon. Its a real shame I dont have a fistfu...

Will do Jeff, Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the input Travis. So far Signal Cable has bested all my current cables(nothing real expensive though).I have read a lot about how good Pure Note Epsilons are, they are on sale right now, 1m XLR for 335.00, its out of budget but maybe wo...
