Wadia 121 not working
The volume light flashes when the unit is muted. I should have asked, did you just get this Wadia, or have you had it for a while and had it working? 
your experience with mod or upgrade companies.....
"07-12-14: KennesawjetI beg to differ, I now its not the premiere line but its not that bad of an amp.............."I never said it was a bad preamp. The models that came after the PV-12 were a lot better, both the Premier and regular models. Just... 
Regenerator, Balanced Power, or Power Cleaner?
AC products should demoed in your system before you buy. Results can vary quite a bit, from system to system. Give The Cable Co. a call. They'll send you some demo units for all the ones you are interested in. Then you can compare them side by side. 
Wadia 121 not working
Make sure you don't have it on mute. If not, check the remote again. The buttons on Wadia remotes sometimes get stuck under the face of the remote if you push it down far enough.

The PV-12 was never that good of a preamp. I don't think its worth putting that kind of money into. You would probably be better off selling it and put the money toward one of their better models. 
Revel F208s, F52s or Nola Contenders?
How do you know the speakers are at fault? 
Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS?
"07-11-14: TimrhuZD542, I'm not calling anyone out. Although I have met a few Agon members personally, I don't know any who fit that description. But reading through the threads here it does seem as if there are members who do."Sorry. I don't thin...

If you are still using your Musical Fidelity V-Link, I would say upgrade to something better. You should hear a big improvement.

Pass/musical fidelity for focal scala
One of my Pass amps burst into flames the first time I plugged it in. Great sounding amp though. Pass has a reputation for building very reliable products. The vast majority of them don't catch fire. "07-11-14: AbucktwoeightyI find all purchases a... 
Rotel surround processor- setup tips and/or advice
"I just thought peers on the forum may have some tips and offered up their experience when setting up the processor."That's what I was talking about. Not just the connections, but actually getting the whole system dialed in. Rotel is picky about s... 
Skeptics believe:cartridge makes a HUGE difference
"07-11-14: GeoffkaitZd542 - don't worry, I don't get it either."Just to be clear, I wasn't finding fault. My comment was meant to be a literal one. I just didn't fully understand Mapman's comment the way he worded it. Nothing more than that. 
Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ?
I'm not exactly sure what the JC-2 costs, but I feel you would probably be safe with an Ayre K-5. When I say safe, I mean that you are going to buy without listening. My personal opinion is that anything less, will not sound as good as your passive. 
Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS?
"This parallels the audiophiles who trust their own senses (perceptions) and believe the marketers (of which I include most reviewers) and shun scientific testing."That's a pretty big assumption. I trust my own perceptions, but I don't buy marketi...
