Wide bandwidth = necessary?
First of all I would like to thank all of you for the wonderful comments. The reason for this post was to get clarification from you the need for the ability to reproduce frequencies beyond human hearing.In the past some manufacturers like Pioneer... 
Have you seen this video? Very inspiring
Hi Oregon, so in fact the clip is not filmed in real time, but rather is a mix of separate clips altogether? I thought those wonderful musicians where playing in real time (and simultaneously) together, so you get a mix of all the singers and inst... 
Have you seen this video? Very inspiring
Fairly, I don't have a clue what is happening exactly in this video: are those musicians performing the music in real time with each other? I suppose there could be some lagging in time between the performers. Could you explain a bit?Chris 
stillpoints question
"You have to be a bit careful if you're putting them under anything that isn't fairly heavy though as the component can roll around a bit." --> unless you apply the small discs under the Stillpoints, which holds the Stillpoint ceramic balls in ...

Rya, I did a search but couldn't find the review I mentioned earlier. Do you know someone who has heard one of those CD's?Chris

Digital cable optimal length?
Al, do BNC or RCA type plugs exist that have a true 75 ohms impedance? And what kind of mechanical joint would you apply between the conductor and the plug (to minimize impedance mismatch): soldering or crimping?Chris 
Ortofon SPU's outdated design?
Prcinka, but why do they have to be so heavy and low compliant? --> that is almost an anachronism.Chris 
Ortofon SPU's outdated design?
Many Japanese audiophiles love outdated sounding gear :)Some of them are stuck in the 1930's with their Goto compression drivers and big horn systems. The SPU belongs to this nostalgic world :)Chris 
Ortofon SPU's outdated design?
Plinko, I'm thinking of the Grado Reference Sonata ($650). I haven't heard the Denon 103/R but some say that in the right arm (like the SME 3012R) it sounds very SPU-like.Chris 
Ortofon SPU's outdated design?
Prcinka, that is exactly what I mean: why does it have to be so exotic? Can't we go "normal"? Do we care so much for "tradition"? Is it (again) driven by emotion and the urge to go back to those good old times?Marty, the SPU with the Fidelity Rese...
