When we built the forum, we decided against requiring participants to become registered users. We wanted the forum to be open to anyone, and we hoped that this freedom wouldn't be abused.

Lately, anonymous posts have become more frequent. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when a participant hides behind anonymity, the spirit of open, honest, intelligent discussion, debate, and sharing of enthusiasm is damaged, if not completely broken. We don't want that. In addition, spam has become a bigger problem. We're looking at ways of alleviating it.

This is a very novice question. I'm running an ordinary audio cable from my sound card to my receiver's digital input. It sounds pretty good to me but should I be using a special coaxial cable for this? If so, what's a good low cost one? I've haven't seen this discussed anywhere so I'm enquiring now.

Thanks for any enlightenment on this.

for no more than $8K. 2 boxes only, no subs please. I'm coming out of the large NHT 3.3. I want to emulate that "size" of sound with a bit of a softer side. So far, no luck. I listened to the AVS V4-SR and was impressed, but I understand they may discontinue production of that model. Anybody listen to the Dali Helicon 800's? Might there be a review forthcoming? Thanks everybody.

This post is an off shoot to the "Copyright and "The Man"" thread and concerns the issue of the future copy protection and digital rights management schemes that the music and movie industries along with hardware manufacturers and spineless lawmakers will impose on the (mostly) innocent public.
