New kid on the block affordable amp Rave
Is this where Doug Schroeder's sensibilities really lie?"In the same way, I didn’t feel like wasting time listening when I could be the first to introduce this amp to the world."Regards, 
Calling Lamm ML2.1 owners
The 5651s are not expensive. About $8 each. I bought some because I had a problem with one amp where the 5651 went dark. When I looked inside, the internal fuse had blown. Replaced the 5651 and the internal fuse and it worked for 20mins and the fu...

Hi-end sound from iTunes running on MacPro
I believe it's still a volatile marketplace. The good thing is that the DACs for file servers are not that expensive. The one to watch at the moment appears to be the Mytek at $1500. Connect to your MacPro using FireWire. You can use the balanced ... 
Is it possible to have an accurate speaker
Accurate means low distortion. No argument on that as a definition. This is one area of speaker performance where we have seen measurable progress in the last few years, due to driver, crossover and cabinet technology.Regards,

From your list - the Roxy box and the mono Dylan box are really excellent. "Dig" is from quite a few years ago (gee, 10 years - how time flies), but I remember Peter McGrath using a track off this CD to demonstrate the deep bass from Wilson speake... 
Why are dealers so scared to sell product out of

TUBE MAGIC CANADA IAM 96 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER
Never heard of it but have to agree that the layout from the top looks fantastic. It would have been nice to see another shot from underneath to show the wiring from the trannies and chokes to the board and the binding posts underneath that plate.... 
Are there any audiophile quality streaming options
Sfar writes:Both MOG and Spotify Premium stream at 320 kbps, which isn't as high resolution as the bit rate of a CD at 1,411 kbps, but I find MOG streamed through a good DAC to be completely enjoyable even compared to a CD played through the same ... 
Nakamichi PA-7 Stasis Hum
I think you should get it repaired. It's likely something simple and you will get many more years of use out of it when it returns. The challenge will be finding someone to do the work for a reasonable fee.Regards,
