Glitch with Wadia 861
I've seen this sort of thing from time to time....both on my WT2000s and my current 270se. Usually if you reboot the machine it is fine. I agree with calling Steve Huntley at Great northern sound.Reb1208:If you heard lots of noise from the 860x my... 
Pioneer DV-45A Elite vs Denon DVD 2800 MK II
I have both. Here's the scoop:(1) Pioneer sound is marginal if unmodified. After I got the unit extensively modified by Dan Wright including Bybees in all 5 channels I think it sounds great for SACD. I don't use it all for two channel but I think ... 
Digital Preamp NO video switching
Distortion:We all love our equipment...and that's great. I've a/b compared lots of pre/pros in my system including Meridian, Bryston and EAD. You prefer Bryston, i prefer EAD. That's what makes the world go 'round. I think lots of this depends on ... 
EAD Bass Management
Bhouser is correct. and right on target!!!! I have a TM8800pro which is among the finest processors available in terms of sonics. I am glad that they do not put the analog pass through through any bass management, because it might impact on its ul... 
Apogee Big Ben for Jitter reduction
Rsbeck:I have 2 Big Bens. One is after my modified Wadia 270se and Genesis Digital Lens...and one is after my TacT RCS 2.0s. Both additions offered considerable improvement, presumably through reclocking and dejittering.In regards to AIFF playback... 
Recommend amp for 2 channel HT
Check out Innersound (www.innersound.net). Very impressive sounding amps 
Digital Preamp NO video switching
Unfortunately, EAD doesn't make a processor without video switching. But the sonics are MUCH better than the Bryston...and I think they are better than Meridian too.So for me, I just waste the video stuff. 
Wadia 270se/27ix or DCS Purcell / Delius Combo?
Well, i guess my setup is kinda backwards from what you're looking for. i have a GNSC reference modified 270se.....feeding a dCS Purcell and dCS Delius. Absolutely STELLAR!!!! 
Amp s for CLS IIZs
Innersound 800W monos if you really want to drive those suckers to the max. Those amps are a part of my system I never even THINK about changing. Effortless, delicate POWER!!!!! 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Wes Montgomery 
Arcam AV8, Krell Showcase or Aragon Stage One
You REALLY should check out the EAD Theatermaster 8800pro. Sonics are amazing. 
Martin Logan Ascents -what rear speakers match?
Timinwi - Off topic but what do you think of your TM8800pro. After getting through the initial bugs...I LOVE MINE!!! 
First pre/pro and hopefully last
I've had Krell and Lexicon in my system......but if sonics is your primary concern....go with the EAD Theatermater 8800pro!!!!Spectacular sound. I'm even considering using as my 2 channel preamp. 
What Mods for a pre/pro to become a good preamp?
Yada:My guess is that the sonics of the EAD Theatermaster 8800 pro would be preferable to the Lexicon in light of your tastes and equipment. While I protect my 2 channel path entirely from running through a Pre/Pro....I can honestly say that EAD i... 
Clocking your CD player/transport
Dan - I also like Audience Au24 digital cables and coincidentally, have some in my system. I've been studying the BB issue for a while now. As you may know, I have a Genesis Digital Lens in my system also, and recently been doing blind A/B compari...
