Bi-Amping, best way??
Been listening to my CDs for hours now since I did my experiment of running the tweeter/mid drivers using the Mcintosh 402 and the bass drivers using the Bryston 7B-SSTs on the B&W 802Ds. I have been VERY pleasently surprized and VERY happy wi... 
Bi-Amping, best way??
Has anyone tried bi-amping using different amps ie. one ss amp that has great bass and one ss amp that has great highs and mids? Are there any issues running different amps that have different power output 600 watt amp for the bass and 200 watt am...

popping noise when switching tv channels
Switching the audio output of the cable box from coax to optical solved the problem. I called Mcintosh and they said it appears that the cable box was "throwing DC" when changing channels. I guess it was!

Advice on New Electrical Service
I agree with muzcal about adding the third dedicated line. I have three deicated lines for my system with one of the lines just for the amps. In my case the one line for the amps helped a great deal ( I'm running 2 Bryston 7B SST 600watt mono bloc... 
Cable TV Picture Stinks
Had the same issue with time warner. (I have 6tvs and 3 computer lines off the cable line) I put in 2 amps (about $20 each) on the cable connections and have had great reception since then. 
Emm Labs DAC6e-is it that good?
Thanks for the info. I guess I need to make a decision if I want a singel box or a two box system.

Buyer Beware of Late Part 2
Had an interesting one for an item I had for sale on audiogon this month. This "buyer" asked me to send him a picture of the item for sale with me holding a sign with his name on it. He stated in his email that he wanted to be sure my my item for ...
