Cable Costs Relative to System

I have had my Transporter now for almost one month. I am enjoying it immensely, good sound, great convenience, and easy for my my wife to use as well.My Audio Research CD7 arrived on Thursday. With only 48 hours on it it smokes the Transporter. No... 
Audio Research Source - CD3 mkII, CD5

Warner and Blu ray?
I agree with Johnnyb53.Local retailers are advertising their HD DVD players for $99 plus get 3 movies for free. At this price point you know who is going to buy this price. The local A&B Sound says that they have sold over 300 in just 2 days. ...
