Nice work by Art Dudley on the Advent restoration this month. It seems that I am probably the world's expert on them. This happened by accident when I restored my parent's old speakers and got a bit carried away when I went to document the Large Advent. There were more variations than I thought and I therefore wanted to know about all the differences:

What a great article!

My personal MQE is 80/20/10.

It WAS 90/10/10 until I subscribed to Listener magazine in the last 2 years of its existence. So I blame Art Dudley for the change...

I have a Marantz SR 7002 and a Marantz DV4001 and huge HDMI problems. I will give a little history first. I purchased a Marantz SR7001 3 years ago and after protection circuit repairs failed it was replaced with the 7002 18 months ago.

This Christmas we bought a Bell PVR and a Western Digital HD Media player and I decided that I would hook everything up with HDMI and get rid of the rat nest.

Go buy some vinyl!
The Flaming Lips' "Embryonic"...their updated version of Dark Side of the Moon had been released on vinyl today.

So get your old jeans on, dig out your threadbare Procol Harum t-shirt, and head down to that last remaining record store near you and give them some business!...I'm off to Zia today.

Hi. I work in marketing for a well-known audio manufacturer. They recently started looking for ideas in their next generation MP3 player, and as an audiophile I really want to push them in this direction, and I think I can do it if I make a decent case for it.

Just fetched my new computer today. My goodness, what a monster...

Waiting is down to minimum, and heaps of programs open. No problemos!

Windows 7 (x64)
Intel Core i7-920 2,66 GHz CPU (4 cores, 8 threads, 8 MB cache. The smallest of the top CPU's)
8GB DDR3 triple channel RAM (1333)
ATI Radeon HD5750 graphics card
1 TB of HDD
New flatscreen monitor

Think I'm happy?
