| Sistrum or Neuance or...? twl's post is straight ad copy. Throw in a price list and his phone number, and he would have had to pay to say the same thing anywhere else. Step right up and check out our 30 day money-back no-risk no-liability home test options folks. Everybody... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? A few years ago, a post like twl's would have brought anger from the majority of audiogoners. No more. It's time to recognize that Audiogon has simply become an open advertising and marketing platform. Sad but those are the times. Time for audioph... | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? "As for floor-borne vibrations, I personally don't even consider that much of an issue unless I had a much older home and a very, very bouncy flooring system. "Stehno - Unless your speakers stand on isolated rocks, they couple mechanically into y... | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? " It is also a fact that as one sits in their cushy(well-damped) listening chair feeling the vibrations from the music, one can bet dollars to doughnuts that their equipment is feeling pretty much the same vibrations regardless of whose vibration ... | |
| How many years before MP3 becomes king? Everything has it's cycles. Fitting lots of data onto a small card is today's novelty. Somewhere in the not far future, the pendulum will swing backwards as people discover sound quality all over again. But it will then be combined with much highe... | |

| Music for Passover What does a mostly vegetarian do on Passover? A recording I love well in this ethnic tradition is Alia Musica's 'El Canto Espiritual Judeoespanol' (Harmonia Mundi, HMI 987015). Lovely and moving pieces from a Spanish Sephardic tradition. It is rec... | |
