They did have Zanax back then. I think they called it Absinthe. 
AN 3.1 Dac OPT upgrades?
That seems like an odd question. I can understand wanting to upgrade the DAC, but what makes you think that upgrading the transformers will give you the sound you might be looking for? Just asking.

The real sob story is Schubert - not our beloved A'gon Schubert, but the real one. "Every night when I go to bed I hope I may not wake... I live without pleasure or friends." He considered his composition "useless". I wonder if he was an audiophil...

Congrats - you have good ears. Many people would not pick up on the fact that something was out of phase. I expect you will be much happier once this is corrected, as it can be extremely annoying to listen to. 
Upgrade from Rega P3-24 .....
You should also check out some other MCs. I think Benz also works well in Rega arms, but I'm not an expert. I will tell you, I upgraded from the Exact to the Lyra Argo and the difference was night and day. The only time it doesn't pay to upgrade t... 
Upgrade from Rega P3-24 .....
You have assembled a very nice system at that price point. IMO, upgrade the cartridge to a Lyra Delos and you will really hear the difference. If the Delos is too dear, consider the Goldring Eroica LX for about half the price. With the Delos, you ... 
Parasound CD-1

Choosing a Floorstander by Footprint Size
Check out Axiom Audio M50s. I set some friends up with a mid-fi system and they were quite respectable.

I certainly don't know any dealers in that area. Why don't you try the Doge6? I've never compared it head-to-head with the EAR, but I've owned them both and I'm telling you - the Doge is one amazing player. 30 day money back, as I said before. 
Cables more hype than value?
I think Aczel says that there are no differences in wires that cannot be explained in terms of resistance, capacitance and inductance. His back issues contain an article showing how cables with different electrical characteristics caused very larg... 
The issue of lowballing... What does that mean?
I have found the vast majority of offers made to me on this site to be very fair and I probably accepted most of the them, if not all. However, I think we've all had annoying people who are more interested in bargaining than actually purchasing so...

Opinions on Land Rover LR2
Hey - no problem. I just thought you might have something useful to say about your experience with these cars. But apparently not. So be it. 
Machina Dynamica
I still agree with that. 
Opinions on Land Rover LR2
Schubert - I cannot possibly imagine why you're saying that. I simply asked for some opinions on small SUVs from people who own them. I have no idea of what got your dander up about it, but it is what it is.
