Quietest amplifier you have ever owned.
The key to quietness at the speakers is amplify the signal as much as possible, without distorting it of course, before the power amp. Therefore the amp increases the gain less for the same speaker output and therefore is not amplifying the noise ... 
Bi-wiring using both speaker 1 and 2 outputs
Does the manual state the minimum impedence for speakers played at the same time? I suspect that the impedences will be missmatched for the high and lows and the power transfer not ideal. I would hook up both wires to the one output to be sure. 
SPL meter recommendation
Zaikesman, Yes & No. The ballistics of the meter affects the response time of the meter, but the reading is correct, if the ballistics are fast enough, but then one cannot register it with one's eyes (visual resolution, you know). So actually ... 
SPL meter recommendation
Analog, digital, refers to the readout system, not the detection or measurement system. The accuracy with either is dependent on the microphone used. Extreme accuracy is not necesary for room measurements. Digital readouts do have some handy featu... 
help with biwiring
In biwiring, both sets of wires going to the separate terminals have exactly the same signals, not separate signals (high frequency and low frequency) as implied by Shawn's post. Bywiring simply increases the effective size of the conductor to the... 
Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes.
You must have used cheap (pun intended) coins. I use British two pound (sterling) coins - they are probably the most expensive coins that one can get. Pbb, I would use the Canadian two dollar coin, but the two metal design would not be as effectiv... 
neutrality vs. realism
3ox, I am reminded of the joke concerning an audiophile going to a concert (classical) and saying "there isn't enough bass slam!" Most audiophiles are pursuing a system that gives them the sound that they are looking for, hence equipment that tail...

Sof762, you might have preferred the CD version of Bofill to the live performance also!Bob P. 
Do isolation devices really help?
Oh boy Pbb, now you have done it! 
Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction
Remember the the Audi drivers swore that they were not stepping on the gas but on the brakes and still the car accelerated away! It was later found, through observation, that people will indeed think that they have done one thing but really did an... 
Oracle Alexandria TT - Need Advice
I am using a RB 300 on my Alex MK III with BPS and am quite satisfied. 
Do isolation devices really help?
Well said Pbb. As long as we can`t agree on how we are to know if any device makes any audible difference, then we shall never agree on whether there is any benefit from using said devices. Anecdotal `evidence` is useless in this discussion. If so... 
Turntable/Cartridge/Phono Stage questions
GW, sounds like you have answered your own question. My 4002 suffered the same problem as you and I had it repaired, but then I started to get the opposite problem - the arm wouldn't go down! That turntable is now in the attic after being replaced... 
Turntable/Cartridge/Phono Stage questions
Actually there were adaptors made to install cartridges other than B&O on the 4002, but they are probably more rare than the B&O cartridges! Why aren't you using the cartridge that you have? Get a cheap phono pre-pre and try. As others hav... 
Why vinyl?
Thomas & Greg, I am just pointing out the dangers of using an inappropriate analogy to try to make a point. And, don`t be so sure that the frames are analogue and not digital in the 32 frames/sec play back.Salut, Bob P.
