Since I enjoy the pleasant luxury of ignoring DUP's posts, I can only suppose how this "thin issue" discussion began. I didn't notice the page count, and so far I've been too busy to give much attention to this month's content, but I couldn't be happier with what I have given attention to.

The letters always come first for me. I found myself making mental notes structuring a rebuttal to Rick Lee's somewhat disjointed comments on Larry Borden's "Truth vs. Beauty" only to forget them on seeing that Mr. Borden had done the job for me. Good show.

I recently purchased a pair of the Dali Helicon 800 speakers. I am extremely pleased with their musicality, the neutrality and full range capabilities of these wonderful speakers. As a side bonus the cabinetry is really great. I purchased a pair of the light cherry cabinets.

Help me out here because I'm just a wee bit confused.

First let me outline my present understanding of DRM (digital rights management) as it relates to DVDs and then as it is supposed to related to HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs. After which I'll explain why I'm confusion.

On all commercial movie DVDs the data on them is encrypted to prevent copying. The data encryption scheme in use was broken not long after the first DVDs hit the shelves and people have been copying them ever since. So much for DVDs and DRM.

Man it sure is a thin month. The Wilson ads with the dude sitting 2 feet from a large speaker, now how do he get a sense of how this thing sounds when I'm sure in use, no one sits that close!!! Nice to see AudioQuest is now up to 72V insulators!!! Can't wait till next month....100Volt? Nice full page colorful picutres. Thanks, got some early morning chucles. Let's see, according to UL or NEMA, I think anything above 30V and below 600V is a certain class of wire, does' AudioQuest adhere to the industry standards?

I have a pair of Usher cp-6381 loudspeakers but for further improved I filled the mass load chamber with 7.5 kg of sand and I replaced the original tweeter for the beryllium 9980-20 tweeter which is used in the dancer series. The Be tweeters were sold by the Dutch distributor. They even refunded the original tweeters.
