Nuforce 9.02s powering Maggies?
The Nuforce are 300w into the 3.6's 4 ohms with a 650w peak....am I missing something other than the obvious? 
i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas
You need an Audio Aero Capitole MK II player, preferably the SE version.Enjoy. 
Best audio shops in the Chicago area?
I second Brian Walsh as a suggestion for a place to stop in Chicago. Just email him first, he has a lot going on that weekend....also, why not try the Chicago Audio Society meeting on the Sunday?Have fun, see you up in Green Lake.RRoA 
Anti-jitter device with I2S output?
Audio Alchemy Dti Pro 32 has I2S. It works great too.Rooze 
Best Balanced/XLR Under $200
The Straightwire Maestro suggestion is a good one. Also, the BMC (Black Mountain Cable Co.) XLR's are very good for the price. A little warmer and smoother than the Straightwires (in my system, my ears, etc) and they seem to go at auction for less... 
Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.
Rackon, that's a great period in their history you were able to be involved in. You mentioned their farewell tour at McCormick, there was actually one other show at Milton Keynes in 1982. Gabriel had run into serious money problems promoting his W... 
Favorite Movie Soundtrack
Any of the Spaghetti western themes, the best of Ennio Morricone is an enjoyable CD. 
Opinions on Straght wire?
I like the The Maestro II in my system. It's a lively cable, a little bright sounding but still quite enjoyable. 
Guitar Solos
More of a 'lick' than a solo, but Brian May on Bohemian Rhapsody...Then Stevie R V's version of Little Wing...Santana's Samba Pa Ti.....goosebump city! 
Magnepan 3.6R biamp crossover
Another option is to find a used Magnepan XO1 crossover. That will allow you to biamp with amps that are not gain matched, and also bipass the caps/inductors for the LF. They go for about $100, though they're pretty rare.I have one sitting around ... 
Another sign SACD is dying
Hi Ben,I didn't really miss the point, it's been made already, and I agree with it, so didn't feel the need to restate it.In some ways it's like the chicken and the egg scenario. I actually waited over 3 yrs before finally buying a Universal playe... 
Another sign SACD is dying
It's an interesting post mortum.My take is that we've all had 20 years to optimize our Redbook hardware and get it sounding pretty good. Then along comes SACD with the promise of better sound quality, so we go out and plop down $1000 on a new SACD... 
Wisconsin - Anyone interested?
Just a last minute reminder for folks in and around Green Bay who may be interested in attending the meeting at Dan's place tomorrow (11th June) around 1pm.Again, it's a casual format and you're welcome to stop by. Details are here: http://newaudi... 
New Oasis
If their music has ceased to be entertaining, the banter between the brothers Gallagher will always provide a source of amusement. I get a charge out of their character and I cut them some slack when their music takes a detour in the wrong directi... 
Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables
Sorry Rsbeck, but we must agree to differ. I know my system and I know when the higher and lower frequencies are not sounding clear and extended. I'm past the 'it's all in the imagination' argument, so if you want to get into that one you'll need ...
