I have a low enough post count and have asked enough silly questions on this forum that I hope you will let me get away with one more. (OK, I will admit that this is not really likely to be my last silly question.)

I have little over 37 years behind me now, and 7 of them I subscribed to Stereophile. My English is not that good, and remember the first years, Stereophile was quite difficult to read.
I want to thank Stereophile for being the most serious of all the hi-if mags.. I know about. Thanks to Stereophile I
finaly have sound that I tought was almost impossible to reach, at least for the money I can spend on it. The travel to that sound was difficult, and sometimes very confusing. If it was not for Stereophile I would probably have given up long time ago.

On this auspicious date...September 9, 2009, I am reminded of a joke about 'nine.'

A soccer team made up of an inoffensive mix of men from wherever in the world they don't don't get offended by jokes is in Germany.

They come across a frisky lass, and through an unfortunate series of misunderstanings, the soccer players begin having sex with her, which is at odds with her actual expectation bias at the time.

She yells, "Nein! Nein!"

So, two of the guys leave.

About two months ago I finally got around to upgrading my home theater system to high definition. I purchased an LG 47" lcd HDTV along with an Oppo BDP-83 Bluray disc player and added a high definition DVR cable receiver. All in all a very worthwhile and long overdue upgrade. While having an HDTV and plenty of high definition channels to watch is great it is really the Oppo BDP-83 that is the star of the whole system.

Opened the cover and wanted to say thanks and "good job!" to Jeff.

Since several Stereophile reviewers use Ayre as their reference and Meridian has been declared "BEST" by the audio press (without comparing to the new Ayre), I was wondering if someone could please explain the difference between the filters the companies use. They are both based on the same technical paper as I understand. What are the similarities/ differences? Do the Boulder and DCS, which were recently reviewed, also use this? Thx!
