UPS doesn't just damage and lose Hi-end gear
I repeat myself on this but. There is a reason UPS's trucks are brown and doesn't the lettersU-unbelieveablyP-poorS-servicemake more sense now? 
Has your gear ever hurt you???
As a few have mentioned, my biggest bruises have occurred at the time of resale. 
How to thwart cats
Joey my point exactly. Once they associate the pain with the equipment they will move on.....to your listening chair 
Anyone own a Running Springs Audio power cond.

Looking for CD player with volume control?
I saw a Linn Genki listed recently here on AudioGon within the past few day. A great player with some nice features. 
AHs anyone heard the new Ayre MX-R mono blocs?
They are the best I have heard in any price range. I have listened to Linn Akurates and Vandy Quattros in the dealers showroom, and If I had the means I would have a pair in black.

Wilson Watt Puppy 7 Blowen tweeters?

Amps and Quatros

Hail to Mcintosh
I must chime in here as well. I have and continue to own Mc gear. I realize that I may be missing something by not having other amps or pre amps but I would be missing something as well with the other brands as well. That would be the Mcintosh sou...

Take a look er a listen of the new Rega MC Cartridge. I heard it the other day and am waiting for the dealer to break it in so I can try it at home. Very good first impression. 
Cardas Cross vs Analysis Plus Copper Oval IC
Do a in home AB comparision. This is the only way you can be sure. It was the AB comp that got me hooked on Cardas in the first place.
