SYSTEM COMPLETE FINALLY!
Purchasing another cord equates to not being done:) 
Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub?
I submit we live and learn! The most important thing I’ve learned is to respect different opinions, but to use my own ears to decide on what component to purchase. Your comments suggest that you love the B&W 802D speakers ("performance and the... 
Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub?
bluesy41,There are no absolutes in audio, only preferences. I have decent speakers with very good bass that stand on their own. In my room and in my system adding a sub has added to the overall musicality of my system. As a matter of fact, every s... 
Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub?
bluesy41,Dave Wilson from Wilson Audio believes all speakers benefit from a subwoofer. You should  be able to google his comments. In my experience it isn't about the bass, but how a properly integrated subwoofer adds to the overall musicality of ... 
Interested in listening to Antipodes.
Yes, I'm selling my DS GT. 
Interested in listening to Antipodes.
I hope to have the DX generation three in a couple of weeks.  
Shunyata Alpha/Delta NR Line.
gbmcleod,They were well broken-in. As I've already said, "cables are system dependant and results may vary." The Thunder impressed me so much I immediately ordered Hurricanes. Unfortunately they are on backorder for a couple of weeks.  
Shunyata Alpha/Delta NR Line.
I tried Alpha NR and Sigma NR for several days. Cables are system dependent, but I decided to keep my Wireworld Silver Eclipse 7 power cords. I recently tried Audioquest's new Thunder power cord and preferred it to the Wireworld. I order Audioques... 
Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled?
I had a home audition of Transparent Reference speaker cables a few years ago. My wife and I thought they ere muffled and bloated. I returned them to the dealer and he said something was wrong with them and he wanted me to try another pair. I neve... 
SYSTEM COMPLETE FINALLY!
Congratulations! Every time I say I'm done, I'm not:). I think the only way I could possibly be done, is to stay off of the audio forums. My problem is I really like listening to different equipment and I like reading about different components.  
Interested in listening to Antipodes.
I have the Antipodes DS GT. It replaced my Bryston BDP2. I really love it, but Antipodes has changed their music server design several times within the last year. I don't know if that's good or not?  
Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2)
I just ordered two Hurricane power cords. One will go from the amp to the power conditioner. The other from the power conditioner to the wall. 
2 channel to 5 channel question(s)
I believe your system will benefit from a AV preamp. I was in a similar situation as you, but I decided to have a 2/5 channel system. My priority is 2-channel. My system: Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amp that always powers my two front speakers. My ATI AT5... 
What's Next
Audiotroy,I recently compared my Jeff Rowland 625 S2 to the PS Audi BHK 300 amp, Ayre, and Bryston amplifiers. I prefer my 625 S2. I'm interested in comparing different preamps to my Jeff Rowland Corus preamp, but I need something with HT bypass. ... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Matt has been one of the most humble people on Audiogon. I've asked him several questions through PM and he has always been respectful. He's vey hesitant to be overly critical of a component. Matt keep being who you are, I submit you help make Aud...
