Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
Gmkane, thanks very much for that info... Best answer yet to the question that drove me to start the thread. Thanks... 
What the heck is Resolution Audio
Sorry to steal this bandwidth for a cheap(but cheerfully thrown) jab at our favorite hothead, but I gots ta! Carl I shoulda known you were a taper (we can smell our own) anyone as angry and (you know you are, so dont get offended)anal as you are h... 
Two systems; One amp one set of speakers
Damn, George, I've been trying to do that for a long time (on paper, at least) I never thought of 2 runs of speaker cable!!!! GREAT IDEA. 
My speaker makes noise ?
Yes, this is normal. AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS turn the source off last(or maybe even leave it on all the time). When turning the system on, you want to start with the source, and follow the interconnects to the preamp (turn this on now)... 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
Ahem. Ok. Guys. Enough. Lets be adults here. Carl is entitled to his opinion, just as we all are. But really, guys, can't we all just get along?? Carl, be nice, too, please, there's lots of good knowledge on this thread, but you keep gettin the ne... 
need recs for 2 way system
I've heard Audio Analogue Puccini, and it pales by comparison to the Audio Refinement Complete Integrated amp made by YBA. Retail NEW is $1k. For speakers, I just got the B&W Nautilus 805's which are awesome, but maybe too steep at $2k, around...

NATURAL CHERRY VENEER
Thanks, everyone... Mezmo, I recently used a wood scratch repair kit on my floor. Basically it is 3 or 4 crayons ( a little softer than I remember) one is pretty clear, one is light tan, one is light brown, one is dark brown. You just rub the cray... 
NATURAL CHERRY VENEER
Thanks, all. I believe that the tan lines were made in my living room, The curtains were drawn, but (I did not mention this before) they are pretty flimsy, and white to boot. I'll give it a week in the same conditions, if it doesnt correct itself,... 
NATURAL CHERRY VENEER
BMPNYC, as indicated in my original posting, that is precisely what I have done, any thoughts on the part of the original posting that is pointed out to be the question?? thanks. 
NATURAL CHERRY VENEER
yES, CARL, BUT DO YOU THINK THAT THE COLOR DARKENED TO A POINT, AND THEN STOPPED (INDICATING THAT if I leave the colored part Uncovered, the color would even out with time) or continued to darke over time (which would mean that if I do not cover t... 
I need tube sound without the tubes
Man, I must second that emotion regarding the YBA Audio Refinement Complete. It is amazing at $1k retail. I dont own one, but if I were ever "slumming" (lol) I could own one these things, stop reading the magazines, and Be happy forever. Now I hav...

Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
Thanks, guys. Looking foreward to the Perp Tech P3-A review. 
Cables with Conrad Johnson tube gear
I have been using Audiotruth's Opal, which I believe, is no longer available. (I don't know about you guys/gals, but I think Audioquest has gone crazy reinventing their whole line of cables) Anyway, I compared this stuff to Straightwire Maestro, T...
