Hearing loss and audio reviewers ? READ ON
BigteeWhen I read reviewers articles, I try to look at what they liked over the years. It shows their biases. I found the bright, sterile sound of some audio equipment horrible. I like a little warmth and harmonic texture. Human voices don't sound...

How is Windows Vista?
I recently read an article about Vista. Anyone wishing to maintain their privacy AND quality playback of music and movies should read. The author works for the following companies:ClientsAnd here is his article on Vista.Vista 
Curious about the state of your hearing?
The sound card in your computer, linearity of headphones and ambient noise all but ruin any possibility of this being a "true" test. I ran the test and did pretty well until I got to the upper and lower limits of bandwidth. Since this is the most ... 
CES / THE Show
Oh, I should have said too, I agree with your taste on the PNB Montana if you're referring to the VERY large speakers with (4) 15" woofers. They were not as pristine and perfect as the Wavac room but were certainly putting out stunning bass with d... 
CES / THE Show
Maril555,Also liked Ventures driven by Wavac amps.Amen to that if you're referring to the room with the Continuum Audio Labs turntable and Wavac pre and phono joining the SET amps. That's pretty much the top of my list for best sound at CES and TH... 
Richard Gray's 400 Pro = Emperor's New Clothes??

led zeppelin suggestions on vinyl
That was a cover done by Hipgnosis, a work by Storm Thorgerson.The Naked "girls" you mention are actually two kids, a boy and a girl. The cover is a composite of more than 30 photographs taken over a 10 day period in the rain at a castle that was ...

Boa2,Apparently, Nancy & Harry serenaded their respective houses with a karaoke version of "Ship of Fools". Standing ovation, the papers said.Don't you mean:Nancy and her ship of fools (while quite hairy) managed a standing ovulation? 
Calling all Aesthetix Callisto / Io Owners
Exlibris says,I don't doubt that both of these 'phonostages' actually sound better when used with a separate linestage, I'm just not sure why that is the case.That sums it up, it just happens that the additional gain, impedance matching and circui... 
Selling to someone in another country
Ellery911,Thank you for your response: Nigeria is OK...anywhere else I would be suspect.I just got a couple of emails from Nigeria asking for my PayPal information and confirmation of my banking information. Fortunately after reading your post I d...
