| Audio quality: Cable vs. Satellite? fwiw I found the sound on my Directv to be cheap digital and all that implies. The networks coming thru the same receiver (on an off air antenna) sound a bit better but both are way down in quality from my radio tuner (for instance) | |
| How is Mid Fi defined? it has digital AND solid stateLOLjust kidding...really... | |
| Dave Brubeck at Newport I was not at the Newport Jazz Festival but I have seen him the last few years at the Detroit Jazz Festival and I agree he is very very good. Someone who has mastered his art. A real treat and amazing that he can still be so good. BRAVO Dave Brubeck! | |
| Which speakers have the biggest soundstage Audio Note model E have a huge soundstage even when they are in the corners of the roomworth a listen | |
| what to do with my cat on my speaker grills there was an entire thread (I could not find it) on this subject that had several funny replies - my favorite was a stick with a nail.sorry I could not help myself... | |
| Quick poll: Most enjoyable audio magazine ? I really miss Listener and Fi. TAS and Stereophile are interchangable for me, a decent read nothing more.btw thanks to everyone who recommended Tone online magazine. I downloaded the latest issue and just read the Maggie 1.7 review - not bad. | |

| Which hdtv would you recommend and why? I have an older Vizio 50" (3-4 yrs old) and it is nice but quirky. On occasion it will loose the picture or sound and I will have to turn it off and on again to restore whichever one stopped working. This makes me nervous, I do not recommend Vizio... | |

| Amp for Magnepan 1.7's congratulations on the purchase of the 1.7s. I am jealous.I wish someone would buy a Quad 909 amp to drive Maggies and report back. They have tons of current and are smooth, perfect for Maggies.good luck | |
| Anyone using Goldring Carts? I have an Audio Note IQ2 which is a modified Goldring and it sounds terrific, easily in the league of the Grado Sonata I used to own and probably better in terms of being neutral and inner detail. | |
| Home Depot speaker cable, which one to buy fwiw: Mike Morrow recommends his cables sound the best with 400 hours of break in and I put about 150 on mine so take my 'review' with a grain of salt. Also I would like to say Mike is an all around good guy to deal with. But in all my years I hav... | |
| Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs? I never really liked my Nordost Blue Heaven, they were a bit closed in and did not flow with the music. I would consider shopping around a bit and try different cables (if you have not done so already).fwiw I recently tried the White Lightning cab... |
