I know where I am heading the next time I go to Austin. Thanks for the heads-up Butterking. 
Need HDMI Cable Recommendations ?

BD Player Oppo and UpConversion
I agree with the previous post. In fact this is what I do; I use an Oppo 105 to perform the audio decoding to analog 5.1 into a Krell HTS 7.1 and direct HDMI feed (video only) from the Oppo to a Sony VPL-VW85 projector. The Krell HTS 7.1 is just a... 
Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00
How about an Oppo 105? Also includes a superb USB DAC and plays blu-ray disc just about better than anything else on the market (according to various reviews and my own experience that is). 
Seeking some guidance on Sinatra
The MFSL CD of "Songs For Swingin Lovers" is truly amazing from a music and recoding perspective. I can't believe the original recording was made 58 years ago! The MFSL remasters version still sounds incredible to my ears. 
Has price of used 802N's shot up?
There has been a lot of praise for the N802 speakers over the years, the Diamond series are not necessarily a big improvement over the regular Nautilus series. I believe these two factors are making the N802 speakers worth having, even at a premiu... 
HT amp for music- please help
I use a Krell TAS for both 5 channel and 2 channel stereo and could not be happier with the amp. Previously, I used a Krell KSA-250 for stereo playback, the TAS sounds better to my ears (cleaner, great bass and just as dynamic as the KSA-250 IMHO)... 
Pre-recorded Reel-to Reel tapes

Pre-recorded Reel-to Reel tapes
Forgot to mention, I had a perfect condition high speed two track Revox B77 Mk11; sold it two years ago on AudiogoN. Big mistake, wish I had kept it and tried one of the TapeProject tapes on it.

HTM1 Nautilus tweeter housing
Great site Tls49, thanks. Just curious, does anyone know how to correctly tighten the tension bolt on the back of the kevlar FST mid-range unit on the N801?Marcus 
Software and High-Quality Music
I use Audirvana Plus and could not be happier with it. Before Audirvana I used Amarra HiFi, IMHO not as good at revealing detail as Aurdirvana. 
Region & Zone Free Hardware Hack for Oppo 105
OK, I am going to answer my own question. Got the AVSDIGITAL hardware hack this week. Easy to install and it worked perfectly on DVDs, My Oppo 105 is now region free. I have not tried it on blu-ray disc yet to see if the player is also now zone fr...
