Super High Material
Another source is Amazon Japan. Always go for FedEx if possible, much cheaper than EMS. 
Analog to Digital
Hi Redglobe,For info check out "The Perfect Vision" or "AVguide", I think they're the same site.I saw it for sale and in stock at: www.cryo-parts.com. BTW: This is not a pricey unit but interesting. Pretty new though, maybe that's why you couldn't... 
Analog to Digital
Check out the Furutech/Alpha Design Labs GT-40. Very interesting!

I've owned several iterations of the Marigo as well but none of the most recent models.As always I stand by my opinion that there is no absolute "objective" best in audio because of system variables/compatibility and personal preferences.

YG Acoustics or Dynaudio
Hey, I heard the YG Acoustics are the "Best" speakers in the world. 
Audiophiles are older than dirt
On a sad note, I read that Penny from Sky King just died. 
Audiophiles are older than dirt
"Duck and cover", like cowering under my little school desk was going to save me from the atom bomb. What a joke. 8^)

Ah, the smell of mimeograph fluid in the morning! 
Alright ? Who brought the bandeon to the jazz gig?
I saw Astor Piazolla sometime in the 80s at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Enjoyed the performance very much.Up to that point I had never experienced anything like it.
