**CLOSED**
I have a bunch of Polk Audio and MIT Cables "Green" bags and some various tshirts to give away from the recent Capital Area Audiofest(CAF).

The items will be shipped for FREE just like my usual after show Karmas.

Also a part of these giveaways is a requirement which is usually in the form of a question about audio. This rounds question is:

"If you could change one thing about your current rig, money aside but within reason, what have you really wanted to change or upgrade?"

Kinda like, what has been frustrating or of concern but for some reason or another, you've not been able to change it.

Just reply by saying AYE!, include tshirt size and answer accordingly. Winners will be picked at random by my wife and the prize will vary since I am limited on tshirt sizes.

Thanks for participating and have fun guys!!!

    The one thing I would change is my Audio Rack and I would also like to upgrade my SACD player.

    The most frustrating thing for me is my room, I have it set pretty good now but I would move if I could!!

    AYE! XL shirt please.

    Other than upgrading my Wadia from the 170 to the 171 iTransport I have not added any hardware, excluding cables, in a couple of years. Now I am mentally going back and forth on doing a speaker upgrade, or adding a music server capable of playing high-res downloads.

    Easy question. Since I got to participate in the MIT demo, I would change out the interconnects and speaker cables in the 2 ch rig.

    Medium shirt size.

    If I could change one thing it would be to go with a AVR with a better version of EQ in it, and get 2 better subs. I am rolling w/ 2EQ (which doesnt factor in the sub) and a PSW125....

    I need a new cabinet so I can wire my components easier, have better cooling, and have shorter runs on the IC's. Alas I am constrained not to change it.

    AYE!!

    Great karma Doro, on the Q, I recently got that Onix CD player (I think you saw the thread in 2-channel). And it came with some Tara Green's, I'd never had nice IC's before and was impressed, so while it doesn't keep me up at night I still wonder where this cable road will take me...:smile:

    I've really been enjoying making cassette's and RtR's direct from the Onix lately, so I guess, I'd like some more newer great tunes.

    size Medium please, and thanks :smile:

    Aye would like to have better everything, to be able to experience what it's like to not need/want any tone modifying controls in a set up. (2X):smile: My current junk is set to tone bypass/defeat 99.99 % of the time anyway.

    I don't want to change the gear so much as i'm just starting to break it in. I would very much like to change the rack for better cable management and aesthetics. A clean system is a happy system.....or perfect length cables.....either or.
