Redbook Keeps Surprising
So how is a large retailer of used CDs, LPs and DVDs able to buy from me the originals I have purchased new and then stock them for direct resale to someone else?  I don't see them contacting labels and artists to provide them royalties.  In this ... 
Redbook Keeps Surprising
Good points, lp2cd.  I have always wondered what the used CD retailer owes to the artist after I have sold them a bag of CDs I no longer enjoy.  The music store will give me anywhere from .25 to $3 for a CD and reject a few, as well.  They then of...

That's right, Wolf---this whole thing is a collective scheme of SR promotion hidden by a carefully-maintained act of mass delusion, and it's all been done to fool YOU.  Damn---you got us. I sure am enjoying my SR Blacks in my Maggies--next up, AC ...

I must also say, the improvements going from Red to Black in my Maggie 3.6R's is profound.  The music is sweet and clear--more listenable all around, and only about thirty hours in.

This leads to another consideration--do you prefer to listen to your digital music via files, or do you like to have the physical media playing in your system?  My dealer was playing music via his MacBook into a DAC, and I remarked on how good it ...

Papa, I have not had the tour of ARC. I have been there to drop off my amps and to pick up tubes--inside their shipping department--lots of white boxes ready to go out.

Interesting hook-up info on REL subs.  Here's my situation:  ARC 210 REF monos driving Maggie 3.6Rs, 4 ohms.  (+) to the 4 ohm terminal, (-) to the 0 ohm/ground terminal.  I use a REL Strata at each amp.  My dealer instructions for Neutrik plug an... 
What are the best subwoofers to use with Magnepan 20.1s?
Great description, Stickman. I believe REL invented subwoofer integration by hooking up at the speaker output.

My thanks to Oregon, Charles and David, the true gentlemen here who have been exchanging preferences in music and food and also for holding this topic together against all boorish onslaughts.   Now about ten hours in on the SR Blacks in my Maggies...

Wolf, that's the Bass-O-Matic.

Just installed SR Blacks in my Maggie 3.6Rs.  The blacks have replaced the reds, which sounded remarkably better than the Furutechs and SR20s. Two hours in--the blacks sound just as good as the reds right out of the box--I am hearing midrange info... 
What are the best subwoofers to use with Magnepan 20.1s?
With the 20.1s, it would be great if you put in just one REL Gibralter, which would be much more dynamic and effortless than two cheaper subs. Not sure which size would be best--there are two.

Does the ceiling fan affect the sound?
A strong breeze does degrade sound, as when at an outdoor concert or event.  In a strong crosswind, the sound waxes and wanes as the air it traveling through is suddenly replaced by different air blowing in.  The air in your room is fairly station...
