Shipping/packing-what's the standard for pre & CD?
I will agree that the factory boxes should be more than adequate, unless they have been shipped in more than once. I would double box if they are used boxes since they will eventually wear down. Also, I sometimes add peanuts inside an original box... 
Integrated amp & player for B&W 804, pls
Along with the Plinius 8200 you should try the Jeff Rowland Concentra II. It has 150 watts per channel and does a very very good job with mine, also using Cary CD301 for cd's. I listen to mostly rock and pop music. Best, Charlie 
Retail Buying - Reality Check
I also try to find the best deal available and have been ammused at what local dealers do. Approx. a year ago I was in the local shop and noticed for the first time they carried a product I was interested in. They quoted me $3800 on an MSRP $3700 ... 
Does Bryston SP-1 have 6 analog inputs ?
There are six analog inputs labeled tape, vcr, ld, cd, dvd, and tv/sat on the back. And from the manual "The sensivity of these inputs is set to the industry standard of 2Vrms, which should accomodate the vast majority of available source componen... 
What are the best live acts?
Glenn Hughes, have taken six different people to see him and everyone agrees with my high praises after seeing him in person. Most of my shows have been R&R so can only use them for reference; second ELP and recommend Uriah Heep highly if you ... 
Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites
Would like to add a couple, Humble Pie and Trapeze. And for Tweakgeek, your Funk and Soul should include Glenn Hughes solo called Play Me Out from 1977. 
would this Deter you from buying used gear????
Figured I would add my thoughts. Having had my equipment stolen a few years back, the DL number on the item will not make a difference; the serial numbers are the important thing for possible recovery. If you think you still need to put your DL nu... 
What music rang in your New Year
George Harrison, off of "Dark Horse" CD track titled "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" while cooking Black-Eyed peas. Happy New Year, Charlie 
Bridging Bryston 3B-STs a few questions
I used two 3B's once (can't recall if they were the ST's though) and had great results with my 804's. Now using a 4B-ST and feel that there is a difference. Unfortunately sold the 3B's to buy the 4B's, so there was no way to A-B the two; and also ... 
where does it end? when can i start listening?
Pbb, Is right. The problem is that you think you get a bigger orgasm for a 2K CD player than a $20 CD; possibly? Best, Charlie 
Anyone ever have claims for damage with UPS?
My 2 cents: Shipped a Carver tuner that was damaged in transit by UPS. Would have to look back at my records but it took almost two months of phone tag (I am out of town frequently due to work); which was very difficult to accomplish. I had to fur... 
Shhhhhh Don't tell my wife. Looking at B&W 802Ns
I would say yes, but approach things cautiously. When you let her in the room mention "how the curves of the speakers are as sexy as hers!" and be sure to be at least arms reach plus 4" unless she is a larger woman (knuckle width) if she is not am... 
Who Are You? or should I say "who were you?"
Thanks for the responses guys, feel as though i have a little more in common with the people here. I usually just read the posts and never chime in, my work keeps me out of town frequently. Who i am? No one special, the famous must have run out by... 
Who Are You? or should I say "who were you?"
Got home today an saw the post and was not impressed with my communication skills. Had thought it obvious while talking to my sister on the phone and typing at the same time. My intention had been "who were you relatively (meaning relatives!); and... 
Sound Anchor stands for B&W 803/804
Chances are better than you would think. If you want to call Sound Anchor their number is 321-724-1237 Florida time. I believe you would talk to Robert in regards to model # SDA 804N for the Nautilus 804. I highly recommend the stands, they raised...
