| Best drink while listening to your rig? French Brandy in a pre-warmed snifter. Gives me an overall sense of luxurious contentment. I don't overindulge as I'm so often taken away by the music there is some leftover(which never fails to surprise me!) Cheers... | |
| B&W 803D crossover caps Hello again DH. I simply asked questions-that I thought may be helpful to you or others thinking of such mods. Re B&W; JBL Engineering was very (in fact surprisingly so) helpful re my 1985 250Ti's many years ago; even to provide me new ideas t... | |

| Lexicon RT-20 as CD Transport Within my system is an Equitech, Sound Application and MIT Oracle p/c's. Arrived at by experimenting over time. My digital is quite thoroughly isolated from the analog. | |

| B&W 'New' 800 Series Mr bill and Joey V -- I'm with you. My ears have never found B&W rough. | |
| Your Best Tweak Lately Jafreeman. I agree with you about power supply quality. For better systems and classical,jazz,solo instruments and choral music lovers I consider it essential. My experiments have always confirmed significant benefits (to my very fussy ears) on ev... | |
| Your Best Tweak Lately I too find "UltraBit Platinum" to be excellent. | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series If there was a roughness to the sound at your sessions it came from equipment, or set up, or the power supply ahead of the speakers. I once heard B&W's sound edgy--but it was the fault of the ac power, which I am sensitive too. The interesting... | |
