will pimaluna dialogue7 monos drive b&w matrix801
It really depends on how you define adequate drive. Optimal power is a good way to put it I think. I have no suggestions sorry. 
Does eanyone know anything about the EAR Acute 3?
Pray Tell what are these critically important cables. To say the least it is one of the "interesting" approaches to setting up a rig I have ever hears of. 
Rega R5 & Brio3, need pricing advice
See if you can get the guy to tell you the price of the amps when new. If they are still reasonably current and in very good to mint condition then offer %50 of new retail and go from there. If they have cosmetic issues or are outdated then offer ... 
Female Vocalists Galore "Respond II" Album
Sounds good (pun intended) 
Prima Luna vs jolida
I don't know either amp but it seems we just got used to the GL KT-88 power tube which I use and think is insanely good, at least the selected octet I bought. Now I have to risk transformer meltdown with the KT-120s just to keep up with the Jonese...

Some help with setting up active desk speakers.
Seems like your problem is solved you attach the wireless output dongle on you computer and the receiving to your speaker which I gather are self powered. If I am wrong on that last bit ignore my stupid commentary sorry! 
Accuphase DP-75V vs Accuphase 800/801
The only place that could conceivably have two players to compare would be a well stocked Accuphase store. We do rely on others who have heard both but with such high end items it seems your chances are remote. Perhaps an audio show but even then ... 
Hegel h200 low level listening
I once tested a Hegel integrated a few years back now and can't remember which model. All I can say is that is was good at all levels and almost displaced the system I was using. It's good but I like my Cyber 800 monoblocs by Consonance better, yo... 
MG 1.6 amp - HEGEL or NCORE ?
Have you had a chance to hear these amps with the Maggies. I am afraid that will be the only way to make a truly same decision. 
Amp with best bass control
There is of course no best so it is better to ask which amp do you favor for their "Kung Fu" grip etc. Or simply which amp is your favorite bass amps. I really don't know that has not been a real priority of mine. I am told however that the early ...
