B&W 802D -- Classe' CA-5200 vs. Rotel RMB 1095?
Classe is a better amp and will sound better. Only you can decide if the price difference is worth it. I don't know the retail of the 802D's but, I know they are not cheap. IMO, I don't think you will be doing them justice by going with the Rotel. 
Paradigm Monitor 9 V2, $400?
If they are in good condition, it is a better than average deal. 
Why vinyl?
If you hear a well produced/mastered piece of vinyl and the same well produced/mastered piece on CD in a good system, I believe you will have your answer? Is vinyl more troublesome than just popping in a CD and pressing play? Well hell yes but, fo... 
Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn
MrjstarkHe said he borrowed the players. Very clearly stated.Wkass,Are you using the same input on your pre as the Jolida. If not you might try using the same input. Might be the pre section in your system. 
B&W 803d vs. B&W 804s - Fast Input
If I had to choose between the two, IMO the diamond is the only way to go. I hear a ringing in the metal dome tweeter models. Good luck and enjoy which ever model you go with. 
Incorporating Sub into two channel stereo
Rel subs, and I assume other can hook up directly to your power amp. Small gauge wires that do not make hooking up the speaker wires to your B&W's a problem. I have always thought this was the best way to hook up a sub. I am sure others will d... 
Anthem D2 and headphones
Depends on what headphones you have. Some are much easier to drive than others. 
Suggestions needed. Speaker audition...Dallas?
I have dealt with Galen over the phone and he is top notch. The one problem with suggesting that Scoly1 go there when comes to Dallas is that it is four hour drive from Dallas to San Antonio. 
Suggestions needed. Speaker audition...Dallas?
There are a few.John Fort Audio. He is probably the nicest and most knowledgeable guy in D/FW. He carries Vandersteen, Gallo and some horns.High End Audio. Vu is a nice guy but, don't expect any kind of discount. B&W and Martin Logan.Audio Con... 
Amplifiers for B&W 803D/802D
Let me start with that I am not a big fan of the B&W sound although the diamond tweeter is a huge improvement over the metal dome tweeter.I have heard B&W with all three brands you mentioned and Classe sounds the best to me. IMO, Classe so... 
Wilco on Austin City Limits
For all those who just got into Wilco and like alt-country/southern rock. You might look into Uncle Tupelo. They are the prequil to Wilco. Jeff Tweedy, Jay Farrar and Mike Heidorn. A good ablum to pick up would be Anthology. Pretty much a greatest... 
Can anyone wean me off of Sublime?
I am a big fan of Sublime. Their "tightness" is unmatched by few bands. In some of their live recordings, Bradely could change things on the fly and the others would not miss a beat. I have tried to listen to Long Beach Dub All Stars and just can'... 
Wilco on Austin City Limits
Sky Blue Sky is the correct album. Thanks I Get is not the name of a song on Sky Blue Sky or any other Wilco album. There are actually several different VW commercials with songs from Sky Blue Sky so, I am not sure what song you are thinking Thank... 
Quad 909
Use to own the 909. I would not call it tube like. It is very neutral. No real flaws but, not special. 
How can I transfer my records to cd? Best quality
I would say most people have an analog to digital conveter. It is call a computer. I like Bdgregory have done this in the past but, soon realized it was not worth the time to me.I can't give a comparison between different software as, I only tried...
