When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I have heard some incredible sounding digital. For instance, at the Stereophile hi-end show in San Francisco in 1988(?).1988? End of discussion. 
OK WILSON OWNERS. HERE IS YOUR CHALLENGE
Why not just meet at the local YMCA for the ultimate penis challenge? You know, full exposure of the drivers, measure the bottom end response, the whole kit and kabooty. Face it, unless you're one of these XXX stars with the deluxe-size pumper enh... 
What song best sums up the previous year?
"Like Iraq"...by Bob Seger, of course. 
Best preamp is no preamp: always true?
My experience mimics that of Matrix, and that includes having run both the Audio Aero Capitole and the APL 3910 direct, two very fine CD players in my book. 
Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?
The best thing I can say about McIntosh is that in the month+ since we purchased our MC7200 amp, I have not tweaked anything in our system. That has not happened in over two years! I was constantly looking for better sound, and for whatever reason...

Why China Isnt Happening Yet
"A government for the people, by the people, and of the people" has about as much credibility these days as "Please hold, as your call is very important to us." 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?

Do you have dedicated power line?Nope. We live in a rental. 
CD-player for $1100 - Can I do any better?
I was looking to upgrade my CD-player and my budget is limited to $1100.Does anyone read anymore? He said $1100, not $5K+. 
Myth: low-power high-efficiency
Higher powered amplifier may deliver a noise that would be non-negligable through high-efficiency speakers.We have a 200W McIntosh SS amp running with 104dB Klipschorns, and even with a tube preamp we get no noise at all. In other words, it works ...
