    Cable Modems

    If anyone has DSL advice, I would love to hear it. Our house is pretty far out in the woods, so internet via phone lines is our only option at this point.

    The coming Magico M Series Flagship

    Interesting that it would be so heavy. It seemed like Magico was moving toward using more carbon fiber and less aluminum in the higher end models, which would imply lighter speakers. But maybe the amps and active bass dictate more aluminum.

    How unreliable is audio desk RCM ?

    New VPI Table
