Todays Raido Stations suck
XM radio is the best thing to happen to radio in my life time. The programming is absolutely first rate, and I would almost be willing to bet a years subscription to anyone that had it that they couldnt find a station that they absolutely loved, a... 
Amp Stand Recommendations Please
I just bought some amp stands as well. They don't come with spikes, but have a hole pre dilled to put some in, and they cost about 5% of what my amps did.http://www.ikea-usa.com/product_presentation/subcat.asp?id=6395,472Justin 
Dealer needs input, next wave of gear?
There is another inherent problem; the technology changes so rapidly. I would envision an ipod type device with a digital out. That way you could put your songs, uncompressed onto a device like an ipod, carry it around for portable listening, and ... 
Personal amp evolution
Well the only amps I have ever owned are the amp packs attached to my ATC active speakers.And since I felt so left out of all of these conversations, I decided to buy a system for my office to play with, and give me ammunition to add to the entire... 
opinions on modern horn speakers
I have heard a pair of Rethms being driven by a low wattage DNM amp, and it was the most dynamic and detailed setup I have ever heard. And my setup is no slouch when it comes to detail and imaging. I am getting some Loth-X Ion 1's early next week ...

Using a good preamp with headphone amp worth it?
What is your budget?I am running my Creek OBH-11 through my passive ATC SCA-2. I run the amp through the tape loop as well. They are not full sized preamps and are relatively inexpensive for such a high quality preamp ... 1500 new.But you can't re... 
Is SACD winning over DVD-A?
My system is solely 2 channel. There is an obvious sonic difference between CD and some SACD releases. Not all SACD releases sound significantly better than CDs, but the ones that do are well worth it. I would not hold back on SACD simply because ... 
Is SACD winning over DVD-A?
"Over time, as recording engineers get better at it, there will probably be some improvement."Well there has already been marked improvement. With the recent release of Darkside Of The Moon, the multichannel music bar has been set.The two channel ...

If that question was for me:I am almost positive it is a Sony remaster on redbook CD, and I picked it up at Best Buy for $9.99! 
Question for Ex-Maggie Owners
Of course I did not buy it from Magnepan, it was used off of ebay. 
Question for Ex-Maggie Owners
