AudioQuest Prevails in Dielectric-Bias System Patent Ruling

On December 13, 2006, the US Federal Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the August 8, 2005 grant of summary judgment in favor of AudioQuest, finding that the district court had correctly terminated Monster Cable's January 5, 2004 assertion that AudioQuest's Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) willfully infringed upon Monster's Bias Circuit System (BCS) patent (US Patent No.5,307,416 for Audio Interconnect & Speaker Cable, "Bias Circuit System").

The Real Cost of a Download?

The Real Cost of a Download?

We've written frequently about the lawsuits brought by the recording industry against alleged downloaders, but here's an interesting fact: None of the cases has actually gone to trial yet. Many have been dropped by the labels when it appeared they had targeted the wrong defendants; even more have been settled by defendants intimidated by the $750-per-song damages claimed by the labels. Now an attorney is vigorously seeking a trial—and one of his big arguments is that the labels' math doesn't add up.

music hall mmf-5 setup suggestions

I just unboxed my new music hall mmf-5. As this is my first record player, I have no real reference point to judge the quality of the setup. I followed the instructions exactly but had a little of difficulty setting up the tone arm. I finally got it working and I think the records sound pretty damn good but I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions to insure the best setup. As for my components, I have a denon DRA-345R receiver and and a pair of tannoy pbm-8's left over from my dad's recording studio. thanks for your help.

Subwoofer Suggestions

Forums

I have a budget of approximately $1000 CAD (850USD?) and I want a subwoofer I can grow with. Right now I have less than adequate speakers with a low quality passive subwoofer. I eventually plan to have an entire system but I want to start with a subwoofer. The audio shop near me suggested a JMLab Cobalt SW800S that is 1500 on sale for 1000. At that price point, what should I be looking at?
