B&W 601 Maharishi in White
Hi Brent,Yes, it was a limited edition with only 90 pairs produced, and also, another 90 pairs in green with the same type pattern. Over many years, B&W has produced other limited edition models, so this is not that unusual for them.Sorry, but... 
Heartbleed
Gz3827, thanks for the info. I just read the huffingtonpost article about this, and used the link they provided to test a website. Out of the 6-8 websites I tested, the only one that showed up as possibly being vulnerable was Audiogon. 
Do you biamp your B&Ws or other comparable brands?
This may be a dumb question, but since all five inputs to the amp are connected to the preamp, do I need to do anything (setting, etc) so the amp knows only two channels of audio are being sent?See page 46 in the preamp manual. Just press the "ste... 
Do you biamp your B&Ws or other comparable brands?
Adding a center speaker, you will then be using all 5 channels of the A51 for HT. Are you then going to disconnect everything and reconnect for bi-amp to do stereo only listening?When you drive the 803D with a single channel, the majority of the p... 
Do you biamp your B&Ws or other comparable brands?
Absolutely agree with Czarivey. The best case scenario for passive bi-amping is 2 identical amps in a vertical configuration, however it is better to just have a single larger amp.Center channel TBDIsn't the obvious choice a B&W HTM2 Diamond? 
preamp out to wireless powered speakers
Maybe something like this 5.8Ghz Wireless Audio/Video Transmitter. 
NAD 7400
Yes, there are a few different ways to use a sub with the NAD7400. To determine the best way, it would be helpful to know what speakers you are using, and what brand/model sub you have or wanting to purchase. 
Conrad Johnson PV-7 phono stage any good?
What brand tubes do you recommend without breaking the bank?Since there are so many choices for the 12AX7's and 12AT7's used in this preamp, it might be helpful to say how you would like to change the sound you have currently.Also, I suggest chang... 
5.1 A/B switch - XLR - where?
Salmonsc, the company that makes the switcher in my previous post also does custom work. There are a few options to Begin the Design Process for your Custom Data Network Switch. They may be able to give you a price by phone for a 6-Channel XLR Aud... 
Which one to get: McIntosh C2300 or Mcintosh C2500
Beewax, the C2300 uses all 12AX7's, and the C2200 uses (4)12AX7's and (2)12AT7's. Do you have a C2200? 
Preamp for mc275le. Need advice, please
Ghasley, I don't think I disagreed with your point, as I stated in my previous post about an older DAC sounding extremely good, and yes, it was 20 years old. I do think it is quite amusing that you say, "built in, for basically no extra charge" an... 
Sexiest Speakers
As usual with most threads, different answers and opinions, however, THIS is absolutely the "sexiest speaker ever". 
5.1 A/B switch - XLR - where?
More than you need and probably more than you want to pay, however this Model 7299 Eight-Channel XLR Audio A/B/C Switch looks like it will definitely do what you are asking for, and have capability for up to 7.1 A/B/C switching. 
Preamp to Amp jumpers on Bryston Integrated
Al, you always have excellent solutions to problems, and the above is one for sure. Over the years I have used various types of y-adapters in different situations, and curious for your thoughts to use this AudioQuest FLX-X Flexible Y RCA Splitter ... 
Preamp for mc275le. Need advice, please
Again, I agree with Lewinskih01. I have heard some older DAC's sound extremely good, however they did not have a USB input, and connection was digital coax from a CD transport. Yes, you can use black box convertors, then requiring an extra cable, ...
