Source for component cabinets?
if you're talking about the wood casing that wrapped around some of the retro components, i'm sure you could contact a cabinet maker/carpenter in your area who could build one that one fit your kenwood. alternately, you might be able to have timbe... 
MIT cables and super tweeters
Thanks to all for the input. If possible, I'd appreciate any input, experience, or argument that could be generated from the choice of MIT Shotgun S3 versus Home Grown Audio Silver Lace ICs. 
Best single-malt Scotch...
i haven't tried too many single-malts yet, but so far my faves are the macallan 12 and talisker 10. i'll give the 10 year old laphroaig a try in the coming weeks.

Supratek Cabernet Preamp
i'd suggest you contact mick and ask him how to contact kevin covi. he was mick's us partner and is fairly quick about repairs in my experience. sorry to hear about your cabernet. is it a dual or a single? 
Rip This, Tag That, Save it This way...What the...
i'm not sure what express rip is. from the eac site, it appears to be a banner ad for another program. i don't know why eac would run a banner for a competing program other than the fact that eac is free and banners generate money.to download eac,...

Any Young Audiophiles Out There?

Preamp Deal of the Century

Preamp Deal of the Century
i'd say the supratek packaging is good to mediocre. i've seen better and i've seen worse. the saving grace is typically the shipment method and the speed of delivery. from australia to the usa in 3 days is amazing. i've received a chardonnay, malb... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
interesting experiences some have had. some people love their suprateks and apparently some people got screwed out of money. very interesting to say the least. i guess i was one of the lucky ones. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
any happenings in the world of supratek owners? anybody moved on to different preamps? new/exciting mods to their supratek? i hate to see this thread die, but i guess that's just how it will be. 
Editing WAV or other PC Files?
if you're talking about taking one large wav and break it to pieces, you could use "sound recorder" to do this. it's free and it's already on your computer. i think it's under accessories > entertainment. it's not the best, but it'll allow you ... 
Anyone know anything about Soliloquy HiFi 5.0's?
they're long out of business, but beyond that they were a pretty decent speaker in their day.
