Can Vandy's get along with cats?
Douglas, I think you missed my sarcasm; I was pointing out the wretchedness of the use of an inappropriate metaphor. 
Can Vandy's get along with cats?
Indeed...disposal of unwanted children who mess with your speakers is similar to a heartless cat murderer. I hate it when a human embryo tears my speaker grills. Who wouldn't? I might try the banana defense against the next assault on my hifi by a... 
Praise for DacMagic
The Squeezebox Touch has it's own sound...sort of sweet and "lower middy", but altogether not bad. In my compulsive quest for the cheapest possible upgrades I discovered that used DACMagics are around $300, and meet my needs for balanced outs and ... 
Speaker cable vibration?
My g/f went to Yale with Jodie Foster...and, trust me on this, it is possible to get Jodie to vibrate. 
Can Vandy's get along with cats?
My Vandy 1Bs bought new in the early 90s were THOUROUGHLY enjoyed by myself and various cats. The "cat trampoline" tops were particularly attractive to the cats and declawing was not an option (I think it's lame, and since we lived on several rura... 
Does your system take you there or...?
HA...next time I listen to Bill Evans' "Waltz for Debby" I'm gonna rattle the icecubes in a manhattan, smoke a Pell Mell, and try not to ignite the hairspray in Judith From Accounting's beehive while apologizing for causing a run in her stocking f... 
Praise for DacMagic
It may be that the P100 noise filtering in both directions is a major deal. The "faqs" section for the P100 at Audio Advisor has the best description yet of what the P100 is all about (conversation with the designer), and I just ordered another on... 
Does your system take you there or...?
If it's not a live venue recording then I suppose "there" is inside the engineer's head. I can accept that usually, and since I listen to a lot of small group piano jazz my only complaint sometimes regards weirdly wide soundstage drums, but I can ... 
Are all Linn products made in Scotland?
I now realize what the correct answer to the original question should have been: No. 
Does your system take you there or...?
When it returns me I often make it stop at the store so I can pick up some stuff. Now THAT'S realism. 
Are all Linn products made in Scotland?
Mezzanine...wow. I apologize as I had not noticed until now that this is clearly NOT your first language, and explains why one could mistake your responses as perhaps those generated by a recently reformed Amish farmer or an average but somewhat s... 
Are all Linn products made in Scotland?
Although I did simply and DIRECTLY address the question in my initial post (or was I indirect? not sure...), I am honored to be lumped into the same "circus" as Cathode since his post was well done and hilarious. Bravo. 
Are all Linn products made in Scotland?
Does a "proper adult" display "maturity" by whining about the perceived "normalcy" of the posts? (I just reached my quote quota). I think we should all sit up straight, spit out our gum, pay attention, and don't fiddle with the pigtails of the gir...

I love my Japanese Akito. 
Speaker Rake
I found some butcher blocks that fit my Silverline Preludes exactly...painted them (2 under each speaker) black and they look like they were always there. It lifts the speakers up about 4 inches which is all I and they needed it seems. D'apolitos ...
