Do you believe in Magic?
Some people can derive satisfaction from a transistor radio and decry even a rudimentary attempt at better sound for their music listening pleasure. But to separate sound from music and the gear its played on isn't a valid argument, at least to me... 
The best digital IC, period.
I had a $25 Canare coax cable and thought it was great until someone made me one from a length of Supra Trico with WBT terminations and it was a step up from the Canare in a lot of areas (bass, tone, detail, air, etc.). It cost all of $100.It just... 
Do you believe in Magic?
One has to keep an open mind and Byron and Al do so in such a refreshingly open manner. Thanks to the both of you for your keen insights and wordsmith. To the naysayers out there that theorize that engineers 'know' what they build and what we hear...

Back In the Day
I was just glad to get something I could afford that would put a smile on my face. All we had we magazines and brick and mortar stores, some who would look at your askance if you weren't their 'type'. Some even required an appointment just to brow... 
Internet radio stations that sound really good

Fed up with people making noise at classical shows
In keeping with the OP's point, more and more people think class is something that they skipped in school. Be it a night at the orchestra, watching a movie, or even attending a funeral or cemetery, class and dignity seem to have taken a back seat ... 
How Do You Pronounce Thiel?
Yes, a dictionary will give you what is historically the most used pronunciation and/or usage and rate it accordingly with the most used to the least used. Some go even further and state what is the correct pronunciation and what is now accepted. ... 
How Do You Pronounce Thiel?
All I was doing was pointing out that phonetically speaking, nothing rhymes. Rhymes are for children and my point was never meant to offend, just to point out that there are lessons from youth that we need to get to keep in touch with from time to... 
How Do You Pronounce Thiel?
Split they are but it's amazing how they can dice. As a youth I always thought it funny how sometimes someone from another country would say something that sounded funny but it was pointed out to me that they were speaking it correctly and it was ... 
How Do You Pronounce Thiel?

Sgr,Good post.As for me and caviar, I tried it once and it came up faster than it went down.I couldn't even begin to swallow the stuff.Acquired taste is one thing but I'd need a gun to my head to do it again. 
Music Servers & Sonos. XiVA Music M8, W4S ?
Watchtimes,I'm with you, kind of. I'm just going to wait it out until I find a great server that does it all, doesn't break the bank and can be controlled by something that doesn't need to be recharged all the time. I think its just a matter of ti... 
need 15 foot IC's any suggestions?
I got a great deal on ebay for a 15' length of Zu Mission (new, from them) for about half of what they'd normally go for. That, and the guy who designed them used to work for Kimber, heading one of the design teams before going to Zu. Worth a try....
