Should there only be one company making gear?
All of you (you know who you are)with the exception of Albert, should be looking out your windows and expecting a van to pull up at any moment. You know the one, two guys in white coats jump out and haul your sorry asses off to the nearest 'facili... 
Woofer dust cap repair advice, HELP
Nate,You need two things, one is a quick fix, the other is more long term, I have both.1 - Scotch packaging tape is more adhesive than masking tape and works great. Cut a small piece and make sure your fingers do not come into contact with the adh... 
Funniest sales pitch
I'm selling my entire Vinyl collection, all pre 1980, scratched and warped but in otherwise excellent condition. Selling to get back into 8 track. 
Funniest sales pitch
I'm selling my entire collection of 200 CD's because I can't figure out how to get that cellophane wrapper off any of them. 
The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now
Wolf Blass - either the Cabernet or Shiraz - fine Australian wines, the Shiraz is full bodied without the 'sweetness' that you find in the cheaper versions. Tastes like a $40 wine for $12.00 
I need help with my room
PS...we didn't have time to try the Tact extensively in correction mode - we switched in a couple of stock correction curves but didn't spend any time trying to massage them into usable curves. My limited experience with the Tact is that it takes ... 
I need help with my room
Sean, i was worried about getting Nate onto the measurement bandwagon and leading him on a downward spiral - but I made him do it anyway!!!(kidding).I think if things are maintained in a certain context then there will be no permanent damage done.... 
I need help with my room
I hope Nate doesn't mind me posting this, I don't want to 'steal his thunder' but there are some points that need to be added to help understand the measurements that we took in his room.Firstly, I think it takes a brave person to look at a freque... 
Any DAC better than the MF A324 Upsampler?
Thanks Krell Man, my digital cable is the MIT Reference, sold for $350.00 I did notice some improvement when I went to the MIT from a lower cost cable, so perhaps going a few more rungs up the cable ladder might help - as you suggest.I haven't tri...

Any suggestions for a good speaker match for Naim
Both Linn and Epos are a good match with Naim electronics. One of the best systems I've ever heard was the Linn Isobariks (the big ones, not the Sara's) with active Naim amps.I think Naim used Epos when voicing their earlier amps, or maybe Epos us... 
McIntosh 6500 int. amp...
I had a home demo on a MA6500 six months ago, using a good quality CD system and Magnepan 3.6R's. Despite being an avid tube fan, I found the sound of this SS overly warm and distinctly colored. It had poor transparency and just wasn't very musica... 
Any DAC better than the MF A324 Upsampler?
Thanks for input so far, I think the MF sounds ok, but not great. I ran it side by side with my EAD 7000, and given that the EAD was 6/7 yrs old and didn't do the upsampling thing, I was expecting to hear more of an improvement.The EAD seamed a li... 
Sunfire amps
Sean,For what it's worth I've always appreciated your input on AG and think that the whole concept of AG acting as a useful resource relies on the participation of people like yourself.I was at a mini audio club meeting over the weekend, and your ...

Just my two penneth for what it's worth....I was at exactly the same place as you are at with your system (albeit, my components are very different than yours)....I was on the verge of packing it all up and selling it on AG. I've posted a few thre...
