What Printed Magazine do you prefer?
TAS and Stereophile can be had at $10 and below per year. Look for the 2-3 year deals. As for HiFi+, I read it every month for free at Barns and Noble while having a Starbucks latte. If you really want to save some $$$, read all 3 for free at B&am... 
GAH demoing SR ICs and I can't decide
Hi Adhaney, that is correct. They need at lease 72 hours to settle in those cables with the active shield on and active. Even Synergistic recommends this. They get even better after a week and after 400 hours sublime. Moving them puts them close t...

Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
