Spilled marinara sauce on wood speaker....
You could rub the sauce all over the speakers and they'd match. 
Adding Balanced Outputs to your amp?

My new laptop which uses Vista came with a version of Easy CD Creater and it works well. It also has Lightscribe which is kinda fun. I don't see anything difficult here.

Removing odor from LP jackets, liners, etc

Dahlquist DQ12 replacement woofers?
I had a pair of DQ-20s before the Mirage M1s. I still have the M1s and listen to them daily at work with a Citation II that I just had rebuilt. I really enjoy the second system almost as much as my main one. There is also a pair of DQ-20s at the s...
