Who has found happiness giving up cd player?
Bar81,CD playback is good enough for me. I could care lessabout high resolution computer based music downloads and the like. I hope they never stop making CD's. 
Who has found happiness giving up cd player?
I will never give up simple CD playback. Anything to do with computer based music, is just one big pain. 
what to do with my cat on my speaker grills
I make protective boxes out of foamboard, with only the top, sides, & front, to go over all my speakers. no back or bottom, so they just slide over them to protect. 
Why I like my home system better than live music
I too like my home system better than Amplified live music.Everytime I hear live music, I can hear the colorationof the speakers they are using, the amps they are using, etc. The best thing I find about live, is you actually see the performers.

You are right. I used them for connecting portableCD players and such, where sound quality is noticable. 
3.5mm mini plug cable
Yes, there are differences between mini cables.I have used cheap Radioshack cables, and when I switchedto at least a cheap Dynex from BestBuy, it was better.Better yet, a Sony mini cable that I recently tried was far better. 
Cardas Golden Ref vs Anti IC vs Straley Reality IC
I have the Anti IC'S, and although they are very good,when I changed to Aural Thrills Audio IC'S, I found that I liked them better, being a little more detailed. IMO. Also,I was using the Anticables jumpers, and when I switchedthem to Greg Straley... 
Andreas Vollenweider?
I saw him years ago, doing White Winds, fantastic!
