Why is it that when I look up the seller info...
Krell man, I ain't lyin, I swear. I've seen it on more than one occasion and very recently at that. Ya gotta believe me.It appears to be intermittant.

Ask Audiogon. Only they know the answer to your question. My profile says 1969 as well. Those were the days.It's off by a few decades. 
Has anyone experianced Synesthesia?
Praise God! I've been to more doctors, shrinks, charlatans,and witchdoctors than you can shake a stick at. They tell me that it's all in my head...which I guess it is. I'm just so relieved to know that this 'thing' has a name and that I'm not alon... 
2013 Wish List
I want to upgrade my preamp. Been using a Doge 8 with great results but am ready to move on. 
Less listings
Audiogon deletes listings directly after a sale.In olden times the listing remained for a while but was marked sold. 
Anyone hear of the Black Cable Tie tweak?
I'm psyched.Can't wait for the Home Depot to open.To think that changing the colors of the plastic ties might make a difference is plain dumb, but it makes sense that doubling up on the ties could have an additive affect. I'm of the more is better... 
Doge 8 and Conrad Johnson ET-3
The Doge will require upgraded tubes for a fair evaluation. 
Best and Worst names in Audio
Acoustic Zen is a very cool name. 
HiDiamond Speaker Cables
Glory, are you having a bad day or just prone to boorishness? 
Doge 8 Clarity Owners-HOMC OK?
I've owned the original Doge 8 for a while. Build quality is excellent. I cannot speak to the cartridge issue. Vic at Pacific Valve is a stand up guy and I would trust him to provide excellent service. He's very accessible and I wouldn't hesitate ... 
Just listened to The Blue Nile
Thanks Hodu. I actually found "High" and "A Walk Across the Rooftops" in my collection as well. I listened to "High" and yes it's another winner. I had been so stuck on "Hats" that I neglected the other 2 cd's. I will check out Mr. Buchanan's solo...

Remastered recordings of their first 2 albums will soon be released. 
Small room speakers?
Perhaps you've seen it but there's a thread from 11/8 that address your issue with the heading "12' x 14' room; $10k budget for speakers". 
Hidiamond Cables, Do these reveal the live show?
Unfortunately free in home auditions of cables (or anything else) is the exception, not the rule. Small, direct manufacturers often offer this luxury. To pose a question that implies that Hi Diamond has something to hide is laughable. 
Recommendations for 5k upgrade
I don't think that cabling is your primary priority. I mention the PC's because they DO make a BIG difference and can be upgraded relatively inexpensively. Improvements are not subtle.
