Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
Best to get a Voodoo c7 adapter so you can try any flavour or power cord to your hearts’ desires. I had to get a cable support, then migrated to Furutech ncf cable booster to eventually support a thick powercord that cost more much than my vault.D... 
Mogami speaker cables?
2804 > 3104 > 3103 > 3082 
b&w vs m&k opinions please
Sorry I meant you won't be disappointed. 
b&w vs m&k opinions please
I guess you caved in Mike. I still have the one you demo'ed off me. Only the M&K SS150 my friend has is comparable. Both are amazing and congrats. You will be disappointed in your B&W THX set. Though they are old, they are great for HT unl... 
Stello ai500 Integrated amplifier?
I have owned the Ai500 about 8 months. It is a great integrated (even if you exclude the dac).It is definitely well built. As Rapogee states, you do need it to warm up a bit. After running it for awhile, the unit does get get warm (around Bryston ... 
Bi-amp Proceed AMP-2
Weree were using 23.5/38S & Proceed PAV/PDSD on the N803 which was pretty good.We tried also AMP2 and AMP5 bi-amped and it was not enough power.Bridging a pair of AMP2 might not make that much more difference than bi-amping a pair of AMP2's.Yo... 
Bi-amp Proceed AMP-2
Yes I have tried my old AMP5 using 2 amp channels to each speaker with the 5 channel unused on my friends N803.Result, not enough juice to make the N803 sing.Either get a HPA2 + AMP2 or get another amp completely. 
Accuphase A-65
Memo84, I think A45V is good enough for your Dynaudio Contour 1.3Mk2. A60 will be good if you have full range speaker.Maybe if you downgrade power from A60 to A45V, you can get C-2810. 
B&W CDM 1 SE or CDM 1 NT
The Matrix 805 beats out the 1NT and 1Se. 
Processor as a DAC for music?
PAV/PDSD is better than AVP and better bang for the buck vs AVP2 
Affordable center channel to match Sophia's?
If you cant afford a Watch, look for a Cub2? 
What's the difference between Proceed's amplifiers
The HPA's have double the rated power at 250 watts @ 8ohms compared to the Bpa/Amp series at 125 watts @ 8 ohms. Actually I believe the BPA are rated at 150 watts but they are about the same as the Amp series.The HPA and BPA were newer than the Am... 
Dynaudio Evidence Master need speaker cables
I agree with Tubin.Dynaudio uses OCOS. Some older Dynaudio speakers have dedicated OCOS speaker adapters. 
B&W Variable High Pass Alignment Filter Setting.
Mac2c, I dont think the aligmnet filter was made for your 808's as thy were only made for the Matrix 801-805's =( 
need new rack with isolation in mind
I would get Neuance Shelves with identical dimensions of the Salamander shelves so you can play around with them.Either replace the Salamnader shelf or put the Neunace shelf on top of the Stock Salamander shelf.One thing I did instead was replacin...
