Tube pre amp with 2 outputs for Biamping
Sonice Frontiers Line 1, can't lose... 
Velodyne ULD-15 Input Signal Strength
It all depends on sensitivity of your Spica. If the main speakers are very efficent, you would have problem even feeding the sub amp directly from the line level output. On the other hand, if they have low sensitivity, you might be fine. Another t... 
Krell x-series, are ther any sonic benifits?
700cx arrived at my house and I fired it up last night. Sony SCD-XA777ES -> BAT VK-50SE -> FBP700cx -> B&W N-802Even out of the box, it sounded different than what I was used to before it went through the upgrade. It sound more transp... 
Bi-Amping B&W 802N - Who's doing it and with what?
I agree with Alexanderj's suggestion. Your FPB200C would give you a better performance all the way around if you will add an active preamp, perhaps a tube for that added "life like" sound... I think direct connection would give you the cleanest so... 
Can POWER CORDS really make that big a difference?
I would spend the money on power devices that will make a difference such as PS Audio power regenerators, etc. Other than that have all the light dimmers revomed in your house. If you can not have your neighbors to agree to do the same, then have ... 
High End CDP's that play CD-R & CD-RW's?
Try Sony SCD-XA777ES. It's a find single box CDP, not to mention being one of the best 2CH SACD, and MCH SACD player, IMHO of course. 
Passive pre with Bryston 7B ST??
Agree with Rdg. I have tried Reference Line Preeminance 1A with 4BST and later on 7BST's driving a pair of Maggie 3.5Rs. I gave up and went to active preamp. Try a tube preamp for your 7BSTs... 
Krell x-series, are ther any sonic benifits?
Actually the 600C upgrade to 700Cx would cost whopping $2000... According to Krell, it will operate exactly the same as the new 700cx once the upgrade is done. It will have minor cosmetic changes; one on the face plate to make it identical to the ... 
Best tubes to use in M3A? Help
Try begging Kevin at Upscale Audio for a pair of Amperex NOS gold pin 7308's... 
Krell x-series, are ther any sonic benifits?
Side-by-side comparison for an individual would be difficult. I personally don't know of anyone who has a pair of FPB amps... However, I sent my 600c for the upgrade. Time will tell. Although I won't have the opportunity to compare side-by-side of... 
Has anyone used B&W N.802 on Sound Anchor stands?
The tilt is intensional. I believe it helps time alignment of the drivers.I agree with the unstable placement of the heavy speaker on the stand...especially for me who lives in Seattle with a possibility of ground shaking now and then. I am afraid... 
AA DTI PRO 32 and PERPETUAL P3A
I have used both DTI Pro 32 and P-1A in front of the P-3A.There was some problem initially getting the two devices to communicate via I2S cable. After numerous trial, I got it to work. Considering the Pro 32 is a 44.1Khz sampling unit and the P-1A... 
Have you ever been stuck?
Not so far, from Audiogon but sure got scammed few years back from posting an ad on Usnet rec.audio.marketplace. Sold a Krell amp and a preamp to a guy in NJ. Took all the precautions I could have taken and requested two different major bank cashi... 
Can someone help me please?
I had an office about the same size as your apartment. I had B&W CDM1SE's and then Martix 805's later. Those CDM1SE's were fine very airy speakers especially at a low volume. I gather the new CDM 1NT's are even better. 
Upgrade CD player or wait
Go ahead and buy a good single box CD player and don't wait for the "new and better" format. No matter how much better DVD-A or SACD sounds if you don't have the software, it's no good to you.From a guy with lots of little black boxes to play a me...
