Subwoofer to match Vienna Acoustics Bach
Nice choice. Enjoy!! 
Speaker cable length for L/R channels critical?
My guess is that it probably wouldn't matter....but I personally wouldn't do it. I'd wait from a 10 ft. pair for the R. 
Glitch with Wadia 861
Sounds like the drive was slightly out of alignment with the front face plate....and you adjusted it. You may end up needing to open the unit or get it serviced.....but for now, I'm glad you got it working. 
Digital Preamp NO video switching
It's not an issue of whether you specifically mentioned EAD or Meridian or Bryston. Let's forget the specific equipment here. It's your criticism of others for things that you do yourself that bugs me into spending some precious time on this usele...

Ok, sure...let's end this useless thread. I think we'll all feel better. But just let me ask a couple of final questions. How do you reconcile the following comments you have made?:"08-16-03: DistortionI compared many pre/pros before settling on t...

EAD Bass Management
Flemke: i think you'll love your Theatermaster 8800pro. The operation IS quite a bit simpler than earlier EAD processors which has mostly advantages and a few minor disadvantages. I've spent lots of time figuring out some of the nuances of the 880... 
Apogee Big Ben for Jitter reduction
Rsbeck:The Big Ben functions in the digital domain. It must come before the DAC. But I think Apogee has come out with a new Dac (Rosetta 200) that incorporates much of the benefit of a Big Ben.You could skip the Big Ben...and go with:G4 -> Rose...

Distortion:I can't believe I'm dignifying this absurd thread any further. You seem to have quite a need to defend your Bryston. Why that is, I can only speculate. But, the reality is...that this forum is all about people asking for and getting the... 
Digital Preamp NO video switching
Distortion:You don't have to agree with my opinion....but it is my honest opinion.I'm happy for you that you love your Bryston gear. And I'm well aware that lots of studios have utilized Bryston gear. I have absolutely nothing whatsoever against B... 
Apogee Big Ben for Jitter reduction
One would think perhaps the Lens and the Big Ben are redundant. But I have tried them independently and both together. I find the sound improved with both. Plus the Lens has a remote and accomodates my multiple digital inputs including the ST/ST g...

Distortion:What do you think I should have differently in the first place?? This guy was asking for opinions. I've had the Bryston, a Meridian 568, and the EADs in my setup.I've done A/B comparison of each.I prefered the EAD significantly over the...

Transport needed for Mark Levinson No. 36
Depends on your budget. I have a modified Wadia 270se that I think it tops.
