What about if you take out the covers and you close your eyes. Do you think you'll see the scuffs?

Anyone ever converted their garage?
I did. It's better than anyplace in my house because of the high ceiling. 
Which speakers excel at low volume?
My Quad ESL 988. 
Amps for ESL
I'm using my YBA Integre 50 watts integrated amp and can crank it up at very high volume and with very good result. If you have some sweet sounding integrated amp, try it. you might be surprise like I did. 
DVD player used as a CD player good/bad
one more thing that is degrading the sound is the optical connection that you are using instead of the coaxial from the DVD to the receiver. If you have coaxial digital out, use it instead of the optical. 
Is adding a power amp to an A/V receiver worth it?
Absolutely, I'm using my Top of the line 5 channel Sony ES receiver as preamp/processor and to drive my rear speakers only. I added 3 channel amp to drive the 2 fronts and center and the improvement is huge.

Every make a purchase you truly regret?
Wadia 830. All that hype and rave reviews from Stereophile and Soundstage and other magazines. This is the most digitalized CD player that I've ever own. The guy that bought it from me sold it after a week.

What to use for shorting pins on balanced amp?
Any piece of solid wire between 12-22 gauge whichever fits snugly. bend it into a "U" shape. That's what I use in my Gamut amp. 
Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon?
I'm not going to spend thousands of $$$ if I'm just going to listen to Justin Timberlake. 
Best tube combination for SF line3 SE
I also just bought an SF Line 2 last week and it came with Mullard NOS tubes which are supposed to be really good, based on what I've read. I wasn't happy with it either, until I replaced it with some cheap Sovtek tubes and the result is fantastic... 
What's the best 2 channel amp for 1k?
Get a used YBA Integre DT for around $1000. 
Revel M20 vs New ACI Saphire 3 ?
I love the Revel M20 until I heard the JM Lab Electra 906. If you have a dealer close to your place Audition both and let us know what you think. Never heard of ACI.
