what to do with my cat on my speaker grills
Make it an outside cat. 
Which speakers have the biggest soundstage
The new Magnepan 1.7s. They will play louder than you think with 40-50 watts of good power. 
Is new better than old?
Sometimes. 
Int-Amp after Rega Mira 3? What's Next?
Naim or the Elicit. But really, it comes down to the speakers more than anything else in my opinion and you don't seem to say what those are. If you have a pair of something like the Rega RS5's with the mira it would not be dry or lacking in snap,... 
Who has found happiness giving up on DACs?
What merry go round? Lot's of good cd players, lot's of good dacs out there. It's not rocket science to find a good one of either these days. It is way more about whether you want to play silver disks or put them all (along with internet radio, hi... 
Rogers LS3/5a question
Those are ok speakers but...If you want to just get rid of them let me know.*s*PS. Hook em up to just about anything of decent quality and you'll be able to see if they are ok. If you are running "reference" monitors, then you certainly must have ... 
Magnepan 1.7 or used Totem Forest
Huh? Two completely different speakers and really if you are looking at one you probably aren't looking at the other.Look at your room and decide what speakers you actually want to listen to (and look at) to determine what you are willing to place... 
Linn CD12 CD Player ...Opinions
Linn no longer is making cd players. That may or may not tell you something about their committment to servicing them. They feel (as many do) that the future of digital is in hard drive based systems not only for convience but forperformance. I be... 
New Magnepan 1.7 Owner
(I am also a week old Magnepan 1.7 owner. I am finding th sound thick(improved aftermuch placement efforts) and the upper midrange hard, Short of changing amp and pre-amp-any cost effective suggestions?) Huh? The last thing I have found them to be... 
Why I like my home system better than live music
Good thread and thought provoking on many levels. I enjoy both but can certainly see when it's not possible to hear an artist anymore (ie. deceased, etc) that it's not only better but the ONLY way to listen to them is at home and it may as well be... 
Does the quality of a digital signal matter?
Yes it does. 
What amp sounds best with the B&W 803D Speakers?
ARC DSi200 integrated amp at 200 watts into 8 ohms. If you liked how they sounded with McIntosh you will flip over how they respond to Audio Research. If you get a chance, try to hear the new DS400 amp from them along withone of their tube preamps... 
Classe vs Levinson for B&W / Delta vs CT amps
by the way....if you are willing to start thinking outside your choices of Levinson or Classe you really should try to hear Audio Research. With B&W...AMAZING. 
What amp sounds best with the B&W 803D Speakers?
ARC. The new 200DSi integrated at 200 watts will make those sound out of this world. ARC also now has a 400 wattversion of that circuit in a power amplifier (DS400) that will be all you would ever need with those. Either of these amps will (in my ...
