Phonomena vs. AcousTech PH-1 phono pre amp?
Is a Krell KPE phono any better than these? 
Review: B & W Loudspeakers CDM-7nt Speaker
I have a pair of CDM-7NT and was going to get the 9NT's I will tell you the cables were as much as a component as the rest. I am using them with a Krell 300r and 250cd but went a little more in the cable price and bought Transparent Super XL bi-wi... 
CLEANING drivers of dust????
To be serious also be sure to change furnace air filters once a month during constant use and 6-8 weeks during the spring or fall when you are not using forced air as much. I find a big difference when I let it go past that in my newer home. I als... 
Harry Potter sound
Not a dig, but I was glad I just rented it. 
Alignment Protractors
I have a DB protractor kit that I would be willing to sell you. I don't have a table anymore, so this might be all you need. Good luck. 
I cut the cord and it paid off.
I was thinking of having this done to my Krell KAV-1500. They are now going to captive wiring in all their amps and it just makes me feel like I am stuck with it. I have a great electronics guy who installed all top notch WBT binding posts to disc... 
WBT binding posts on 803's w/bananas?
You could try emailing or calling Rich at WBT. He is very helpful and would know how you could do that. support@wbtusa.com should do the trick. 
headphone setup 500 used.
Take a look into www.head-fi.com. There are sections broken down into headphones and amps. I personaly love the Headroom maxed out reference and I know people who swear by tubes use it to. I also use either Etymotic ER-4S at work and or Senheisser... 
B&W CDM9NT, or Misson 753f, or CSW T300?
If I could get CDM9NT's for $800, it would be a no brainer. I just bought mint CDM7NT's for $1400 and I love them. I am using Transparent Super bi-wire on them which works great. I checked the specs and the 9NT went only 2 Hz lower and didn't feel... 
Progressive scan ouput
Thank you for confirming my thoughts on what was correct for using the component output from my DV-37. 
What is a "shaded dog?"
That's when my dog is lying beneath her favorite tree. But most audiophiles would be refering to the old RCA vinyl that has the shadded dog RCA label in the center.Enjoy! 
Best Power Cord
NBS is one that can be considered among the best, but a costly consideration. I have had very good results using PS Audio LAB II power cords on my Krell amps. Very musical and involving, but I have also used Purist Audio Design Proteus with very g... 
Classe for my B&W Matrix?
I use Krell with my 801 III, HTM center and DS-6 surrounds. The B&W Matrix is a very revealing speaker to any changes I do in my system. Good luck! 
Two subwoofers??
I have been running dual B&W ASW800 subs placed about 4 feet rearward of my 801 III's. I love the seamless blend and would not go without them in my larger room. I run them from the RCA out of the pre amp since everything else is balanced. 
Headphones and amp questions
You should search some of the comments on www.head-fi.org. I am using a Headroom MOHR, Theta Cobalt, CD-3400, Etymotic ER-4S or HD-600 (best of both). I used to use Grado 325's, but now choose the 600's with the Red Jaspis cable. BTW that system f...
