Best tube integrated? anyone know?
I've had a bunch of bunch of tube integrateds in the under $3000 price range in my system over the last 2 years. Ekco EV55SE, Eastern Electric M88, Cayin A-70T, Ming Da MD75, Rogue Tempest III, and Arte Forma Elsa MkII. Of those, my personal favor... 
Looking for DAC suggestions
Do you have a sister? Oh wait, I'm married ...Anyway, I'd say give Bill at Morningstar Audio a call and order an Eastern Electric DAC Plus with an upgraded tube and the DEXA discrete op-amps. I think total price for that setup is around $1300. Tha...

Sprks, I honestly do not remember that.I didn't intend at all to try and derail this thread, as others have done to threads concerning my work. Only thing left to say is I do sincerely wish Evolution, and all other manufacturers, the best of luck....

Any bookshelves with horn-loaded tweeters?
Don't forget Amphion, although there's not much 'horn loading' with their shallow waveguide. Also there was SP Tech now Aether Audio, although it looks like that company is about to go under for good. There's Geddes which makes a few designs using... 
Isolation Devices: Any Good Ones?
I use fish bowls filled with liquid mercury. It takes a while to break in but when it does you loose all sense of connection with anything at all related to the transmission of musical harmony.Sounds like a killer acid trip, I'll have to try that ... 
Suggested midrange fix for Thiel 2.2 speakers?
If you could post high res close up shots of the front, back, side of the driver out of the cabinet, I could probably tell you which model you need to replace it. 
source for HDF
There are a lot of brand names for HDF, such as Ranger Board or Medex. You'll need to just open up the Yellow Pages and call all the hardwood suppliers in your area to find one that keeps stock. Here in the states at least, most decent size towns ...

BMC DAC Pre
Thanks for the mention of the Totaldac, looks very interesting indeed! That it can best the BMC DAC into BMC amps (giving up the DIGM link advantage) is impressive. Their digital crossover looks very well done also.
