Best Digital RCA cable under $100 new or used?
I haven't been through a lot of digital cables, but I have about 20 hours on a Black Cat Veloce, and I'm stunned. It's replacing an inexpensive Wireworld Chroma 5. If anyone ever again denies that a digital cable can make a difference, I will know... 
amarra or pure music..?
I am very much a computer illiterate. However, I've managed to be using a computer based system as my primary source for going on 4 years now. It's not like it's without its hassles. There are occasional problems. But I find that Google works wond... 
Review: Merlin Music Systems Master VSM Speaker
I just use the old mirror method. From the listening position, one will see the respective speaker when looking into a mirror placed flat on the wall at the first reflection point,. 
Review: Merlin Music Systems Master VSM Speaker
atsacoustics.comDon't know if they're the best, but they were really inexpensive. Seems like they're all pretty much the same thing: plywood, filling and fabric.

>Don't forget, some of us have a bit more experience setting them up than others ; )But I agree with the main point. They DO tell you when they're happy.Just placed 2' x 2' x 2" panels at first reflection points. Before I had a couple of 2' x 4... 
Most soulful female vocalist
I don't know if there's such thing a "the MOST soulful singer," but Carmen McRae is way up there. Has a way of phrasing like no other. Check out "Carmen Sings Monk."

Review: Merlin Music Systems VSM MMi Speaker
Nice Reveiw Miker. As I mentioned in my review of the Master VSM's, you have a fantastic upgrade path, as finances allow. Upgrading to the Master-BAM will be a real ear-opener. 
Review: Merlin Music Systems Master VSM Speaker
I had my mme's at about that distance. Seemed right. I don't know what it is about these -- maybe it's just easier for me to hear when they're dialed in -- but these are perfect where they're at now. Perfect combination of soundstage and bass rein...

Question for Merlin VSM/ARS Sonum owners
For anyone interested, I recently posted a review of the new Merlin Master VSM's in the reviews sections. 
SS amp for Merlin VSMs?
Re: Socrates7's point #4....this may be the exception that proves the rule, but I have a computer-based front end and for $129, I just removed several veils. Pure Music software takes the job of managing the audio signal away from iTunes while ret...

Who's Enjoying the Pure Music App Besides Me??
I agree with Hotmailjbc. I just installed the trial of Pure Music last night on my Mac Mini and I don't have the think twice. I'm buying it. The low level detail that is now being revealed is astounding. I'm running the memory play, but without th...
