Any feedback on the new B&W 802D's
Maybe some of this feedback could be born out of your own observations? You have an impressive system! I cant help thinking you have some observations. 
Is "warm" a compliment or a criticism?
It is possible it arrives only as an observation, a way to discern a components contribution to a systems overall sound. I have viewed it both ways. Rigid thinking has me rejecting colorations of any kind, and for that I am a bit at odds with my s... 
Thanks to Agon members and Agon staff.........
My Thanks are extended as well. I consider myself seriously challenged by anything electronic, and I am a little odd and bit slow to boot. If I were not so selfish I would have thought not to impose myself on the nice members of audiogon. But I ha... 
Does anyone out there have a liquid system

Is my setup mid-fi or hi-fi?
If you dont mind a novice opinion, I think your system is impressively put together. You have obviously put some thought into it. It seems you have developed what no amount of money can buy, and the result is a solid, capable system. I envy your g...

Listening to my HD650's, a sobering experience...
Sometimes I do make the comparison of my headphone system to my speaker system, and of course it leads to confusion. They arent the same thing, each having their own merits and complications. By fact, my headphone system is more immediate and reso... 
Your First Hi-Fi Hankering?
Platinum solos. I have no idea why. Might have been looking at speakers for nothing more than pocket change for all I knew. I didnt know anything about hifi particulars-still couldnt guess, but they got my attention and I started imagining what au... 
what is a ground loop?
JeffreyBeyr- This is one of the reasons it is most preferable to have dedicated lines for a listening room? So you can deal with the problem at its source? This makes more sense to me. Thank you! Loonytunz- my cats totally approve of your analogy! 
what is a ground loop?
Eldartford, Thank you. I actually did search the archives, but the language used is sometimes difficult to sort through. Language that leads to other language- an abundance of all that, but still meaning is more difficult to come by. I appreciate ... 
Regrets, I've had a few...
Bootleg tape of an album w/ Geoff and Maria Muldeir(I am spelling their last name wrong) and many other talented musicians who I am not as familar with. I remember two songs in particular-Blue Railway train and Dardinella. It was given to me when ... 
3-D Movie Is A Metaphor for Non-Audiophiles
My guess is that you perceive your girlfriend as missing more than just the audiophile experience you wish to share with her. My experience with passion is that you rarely feel left alone with it.

Truly sad. 
Need some experienced ears to grow my system
What do your ears tell you is wrong with your set up, if anything? Whats lacking? Your system excells in flexibility which is a definate plus
