buzzzzz, where did i go wrong?
I would question the ground of the house too. Which is way is the potential difference. Is the house ground lower or higher than the earth ground. There are also "salt" based chemical grounds that have better conductivity than driving a stake into... 
B&W Nautilus 802, JRDG 112
With regard to the 802's impedance it's a basically a 4 ohm speaker. I have measured mine and I think DB Keele did a review of the 802 in Audio where shows the impedance as well. Basically the speakers are a fairly demanding load between 60 and 50...

cornfedboy, signing off
Kelly, If it weren’t for you I would not have the system I have today. Thank you. You will be sorely missed. Do check in from time to time and let us know you are still here at least in spirit. Please keep in touch. Cheers, Dan 
Rowland 2 or Accuphase A50?
I don't think my tube experience qualifies as I went from two Golden Tube SE-40s monoblocks to one A50-V. But like many A50-V owners in this forum I will not be looking for a new amp any time soon. If anything it will be another A50-V to run as mo... 
Any updates on firewire and SACD?
I believe that dCS is shipping a firewire based transport called the Verdi. I am not sure who does/owns the encryption algorithm. I think Sony sets how the signal is encrypted and it's up to the record label to enable it on the disk. I think Stere...

Be sure to ask about crossover changes....- Dan 
Accuphase A50V v.s. Lamm M1.1
While I have not listened to the Lamm I do own an A-50V. The amp is rated at 50W into 8 ohms but will double-down to 400W into one ohm and in bridged mode 800W into two ohms. That’s a lot of headroom. I have not heard this amp in bridged mode, but... 
Best thread poster for 2001?

What transport with dCS Purcell/Delius Setup?
I am using a CAL Delta. Waiting for a good deal on the dCS Verdi when it becomes avail here on A-gon used. I hope to upgrade later next year. Hopefully by then the Grieg (sp) will be out too. :-) I wish dCS would consider a one box unit D/D - D/A ...

Forgot to say that I am using them between a Purcell and a Delius. My transport is a Cal Delta (for now)... - Dan 
Best AES EBU dig cable for DCS Percell and Delius
I have the Illuminati Orchids in my system and I love them. I auditioned them through the cable company. My choices at the time were the XLO Signature 4.1b and Synergistic Research D^2. My preference was the Orchid, the XLO and then the Synergisti...

Way to ge Kelly! Finally took the plunge. :-) Congratulations. 
Oh, crap.

Power Cord Ground
Mitch, This is more than likely a drain wire for the shielding. Get you ohmmeter out and check for continuity between the wire and the shield. Many in fact most cables only connect the shield to the plug (at the wall) ground leaving the other end ...
