Where have the long-time regulars gone?
Trelja- You completed the list of the other's that I fealt deserved mentioning. And what about J_Thunders, killerpiglet, Schubertmaniac, gosh I wish I could remember more of those helpful people who helped me get started! 
Balanced Connections on the AA Capitole MKII CDP
I am using XLR balanced(from a cap. II) into a BAT VK-500 with out any issues- fwiw. 
Where have the long-time regulars gone?
You guys got everything right, I don't post near as much for a number of reasons. I think my system is "finished" for the time being, and know what I would upgrade to when the time is right- so posting new subjects is fairly moot. My personal life...

Its time for best threads of 2k2! 
Who R U?
Rapogee- Welcome to the insanity, sounds like you do have a keeper! Where in NJ are you moving? audio is pretty strong in the northern part of the state, i.e. you will have a lot of company :) 
Kharma CRM 3.2F
Don't limit yourself to just the grand enigma cables, when I heard them I thought they were very dark and slow- i.e. they removed all PRaT from the system. 
Rowland 112 vs McCormack .5 Rev A
I don't think the rowland would have a enough juice to keep the maggies singing. If you could step up to an 8TiHC then that would work well, but the smaller JRDG amps would be straining on 3.6's. I have used a number of amps on my 3.6 from a 60 wa... 
the listening room: "golden ratio"?
Look at this site and then you'll understand why things are the way they are http://www.rivesaudio.com/listroom.html it explains how to calculate room nodes and why they are important. If you have the means to have them design your room it would b... 
Mobile Fidelity Sound labs Question
I just listened to Floyd's dark side of the moon on MoFi on my rig and am floored by how much better it is then any other version I have heard. Some MoFi CD's are better then others, also some masterings are better then others on there redbook(non... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Dekay- Is that one of the Citroen's that has those green hydralic sphere's over the the strut tower? Those cars ride amazing! We had a citreon prestige mid-90's circa that came into my shop a very unusual car to say the least. 
How much does your system retail for?
Ain't that the truth Bill, but its going to sound GREAT!!! And after all can you put a price on your enjoyment? 
XRCD vs. SACD
My problem with SACD so far is there are no players on the level of the EMC-1, the capitole, the CD12, etc.... So even if these great mastered SACD's did exsist there would be no fair way to compare the two formats. Do what you feel is right, to m... 
B&W 804 nautilus OR Revel f30
forever- I don't see how your post was in any way helpful, 1chapper asked about two speakers and you say its "sideways" and then tell him that he won't have a clue what his listening for, whats up with that?? this hobby is fun to most(myself inclu... 
Interesting Results from Accuphase Hi-Rez DSP/DACs
I had an Accuphase DC-300(the prelude to the 330) and it was ok but NOT worth its retail price- I have not heard the DC-330 though I have heard the DP-85 and it was similar but more resolving then the DC-300 I think it comes down to if you like th... 
1st song you remember???
The first song I really remember from my childhood was "We didn't start the fire" though I had no clue what it meant at the time I just knew I liked it. Who would have thunk that all those other words actually meant something.
