Magneplan as frontspeakers in surrond?
Is your question because you use the Magneplaner as your main stereo system speakers and are planning to incorporate surround sound with them? 
Which software are you buying?SACD or LP
Metaphysics, I need your sources. It is very difficult for me to find new music on LP, and the SACD choices are still very limited. CD is the easiest to find new music on, but I have not bought more than a half dozen in the last three years. My LP... 
Which software are you buying?SACD or LP
Metaphysics. This is a tough question, depends greatly on your equipment. In my system, there is no doubt LP outperforms both CD and SACD. However, this should not come as any surprise, considering my analog equipment is valued at about thirty fiv... 
Please help-cables, interconnects?
I would purchase high quality used wire and begin by searching hear at Audiogon. The popular brands like MIT, Purist, Audioquest and Cardis are all highly re sellable, and perhaps even affordable enough to buy more than one at a time to experiment... 
Why doesn't that movie star have...
I know the Skull guy personally, and have for several years. I was at his home a few months ago listening to his system. He lives just beyond Oakland, North of San Francisco. His is rich in that he has a very beautiful wife, a beautiful audio syst...

Musicality" in a system? What IS that ?
Everything that is important in describing musicality has been expressed here in one way or another by nearly every poster. I awarded most every post with + votes, admiring how much work went into the thought and emotion expressed. This is exactly... 
Help My DAC sounds very noisy.....
South43, your comments are sensible, but it appears that you have left your caps lock on. 
XLR vs. RCA
Jeffloistarca, sounds like you are on the path to success, and done within a sensible budget. True 600 ohm balanced circuits are less likely to be affected by the interconnect connection than with single ended RCA circuits. That is not to say ther... 
Is shielding cables that important?
Dan, at last! An engineer that speaks to the reality of design with accuracy and understanding. 
Before They Were Famous
Angela, were these childrens socks, or adult? 
Music trivia anyone?
Angela, that is the funniest post you have ever done. Don't spill your drink on the Junkies, unless its green wine. 
XLR vs. RCA
Bob is correct in stating that balanced cable runs tend to offer reduced noise. That being said, I am running over 11 meters of single ended RCA interconnect between my preamp and amps. My system not only sounds extremely good, it has absolutely n... 
Music trivia anyone?
OK, here is a tacky one. What famous rock star preferred wearing womans panties under his blue jeans, rather than the male variety?
