Stereophile claims about Magico
I listened to these and was underwhelmed--poor price to performance. I like the new floorstanding KEF and Pioneer speakers--at a third the price. Don't know the production problems detailed above--demoed the TADs at the Pioneer store at South Coas... 
Your favorite recent discovery
Hot Chip, Tokyo Police Club, the Ettes, the Submarines, Burial 
Frank Sinatra CD's with Great Sound?
The Sinatra "Best of Capitol" box set. Came out in early 1990s. Great survey of his body of work on the label. PS: Family members played on those sessions, so I am very fond of these. 
Good Country recordings
Willie Nelson's "Teatro", all five of Johnny Cash's "American Recordings," anything by Dave Alvin, Steve Earle's last four albums, the Eagle's first two albums 
Longest continuous playing songs
Television: 10 minutes of bliss

Recommend some SACD's?
Herbie Hancock Headhunter and Aerosmith (incredible remastering of Toys).

KEF 103/4 loudspeakers; any comments
I have the 104s since 1987. A gift from Pink Floyd out of A & M Studios. They still sound wonderful, especially around commanding male and female vocals and mid-range instruments--very hard to match even by today's high standards. Think Jazz (...
