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,...

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.

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...

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... 
Integrateds, for $1000.00
The Audio Refinement Complete, made by YBA ROCKS. it retails for $1k, has a remote, and side by side with the Jolida, whick I was once in love with, there is NO CONTEST. If I had more sensitive speakers, I would sell my Conrad Johnson/McCormack se...

Hey!!! I grew up in Middle Tennessee!!! GO VOLS. ahem. I'm in Charleston SC now, so I'm not really familiar with that area's shops, but I know, Huntsville USED to have grreat shops, but I guess there's not much left now. Try www.audiosurvey.com go... 
Bryston vs. McCormack
I couldn't agree more Garfish. To get the top to bottom coherence of a good solid state amp, you would have to buy high 4 figure or possibly a five figure tubed amp. Then there's the retubing... 70 watts per channel = $$$$ at the tube store once a...

Great to hear you got some deals. I'm sure the DNA 1 will be ok, especially if you are serious about upgrading to Rev A status, I hear that the Rev A version of the DNA 1 is WICKED. BE sure to give the amp 100 or so hours to break in, before you g... 
Bryston vs. McCormack
Hello! I own Rev 3's, and I love them , too. Anyway, I bought a McCormack DNA .5 standard, which, to my ears, at least, outperformed the DNA 1 standard in terms of soundstaging and detail. According to SMC audio (Steve McCormack's NEW company that... 
Need Speaker Opinions please
I have heard the Aerial 7A, and the 7B. The add mentioned in the previous posting, to my knowledge, may actually be for the 7"B", instead of the 7"A", which retailed for less than the stated retail price of $4k. Unless the original owner sprang fo...
