Inexpensive, but decent, CD transport with AES/EBU
The gears that open and close on one of my Sony players are broken -- it could be something like that? In which case it's fixable. I just need to get around to it, in my case (this is the early CD/SACD player without the DVD functionality, so it's a keeper).

I think the world might be flat.
First, that is the correct spelling of rhombus. Second, that makes no sense -- rhombus is a 2-dimensional geometric shape. Third, no, you're a rhombus.

A "Jagbag" wtf?

Powered speakers or keep my amp
I misread it as being a vintage NAD as well. Well, if you don't want the Wharfdales, then don't get the Wharfdales. I got a pair of Pioneer HPM-200's, and they're pretty much too big for anything other than an entire floor (read: basement) of most houses I've been in (read: non-mansions). I'm having a hard time bringing myself to selling them, because I really want them, and now I have them. Alas, it is not meant to be.

Anyone have vertigo before?
Yeah, I've had it before. In college. It was called being drunk off my ass.

L3000 Burn-In experiences?
I've only ever heard used pairs, so have no experience with L3000-specific burn-in.

K701 insanity spreading over at head-fi
I stand by "burn-in is real". Though I agree that the newbs and the zealots give those of us who believe a bad name, and I disagree that it goes to the extremes that they describe, and I do not believe that they can hear differences of the fine-tuned-ness that they claim. 576 hours vs. 577 hours, WTF? I mean, I had a pair of silver interconnects that went from having no bass to having bass, and it took several weeks. What I could not tell you is exactly which hour the bass kicked in.

Powered speakers or keep my amp
What state is the NAD in? If it's good, then I'd say go for the speakers. I've heard good things about Wharfdales.

And/or state of mind, humidity, localized endorphine generation, imagination, changes in blood sugar levels, mild strokes, and other nonsense.

Me and my Zana Deux (+ pics)...
Bipolar. She coos like a pigeon when she's happy, and she whines like a baby when she's cranky. And the two are remarkable in that they can transition between rooms.

Speakers & power amp recommendations for $1600-$2K?
My opinion of you just went up a notch.
-
On HD650s and speaker amps...
Also helps if your amp can handle what is essentially an open load. (Oversimplification, I'll let others explain the details.)

So who's heard Orthodynamics, and what was your reaction to them?
I think I have some orthodynamic shoes...ortho something, anyway...

Step 4 of my 12-Step Plan: How To Stop People From Laughing At Your Amps
Yup. That said, the wings on the L3000 flip up enough that it's actually a better stand than letting them hang. Yeah, you're right, I should keep it in its box.
-
Anyone heard both the AV123 Strata Mini and Horn Shoppe Horn?
I've heard nothing but good things about them. That said, I like my bass, so would probably go for the V3, which is even cheaper than the Mini (at least, MSRP is less).

New Cat
5 little furballs, sitting in a row, P-I-A-N-I-ssimo, One realizes it's hungry, starts to mewl, the next thing you know, you wish you had a gun. J/K...cute as buttons, all 5 of them. I'd go for the far right, guy, too, he seems like my type (just from the one picture, things'd probably be different if I actually met them).
