| Magico Vs Vandersteen 5 A If you can get to Chicago, you can hear the V3 and 5A, as well as Revel Salons, Sonus Faber Elipsas, and Avalon Indras all at Quintessence Audio in Skokie. They have an excellent listening room and great electronics, so you'll really get to hear t... | |

| Digital Playback Comparison I have been listening to the following digital playback chain for a while now and can report on the quality compared to the other playback methods described in my original post: iMac-->USB cable-->Hagman USB-->9m of Canare coaxial cable--... | |

| Digital Playback Comparison Drubin, I'll be very interested in the results of your test, particularly in adding the SB3 and Alexis into the mix. I've always burned CD's from my iMac and not my MacBook Pro, but just because I have my complete iTunes library on the LaCie HD ho... | |

There is a significant difference in sound quality from the different methods of usi... | |
