What I can point out is that, for me, most of my radio listening is in the car, or on the move, and not sitting and listening in the swee... | |
| Finally--isolation problems solved I thought there was really only one fruitcake in the world that is passed from family to family. If you go cutting it up into blocks then there'll be no more fruitcake...ever! I've got my amplifiers stacked on top of several new packages of underw... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews Did you ever notice that there aren't negative reviews any more.I used to think/say the same thing. But in reading the reviews, at least in the past year or two, I'd say there are certainly those that are luke warm and it's not very difficult to r... | |
| Best Concert Film Thanks everyone! Keep'em coming. I've updated my queue at Netflix! In a departure towards the Documentary side of film+music, I would add, "I am Trying to Break Your Heart" - a documentary of the band Wilco that has some interesting insights into ... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews Art Dudley's column is one of the only redeaming features that keeps me subscribing to Stereophile. I also like the music reviews and interviews. I prefer TAS though for the monthly centerfold and full-on wet IEC outlet shot. MarcoPS Rumor in the ... | |

| Killer Specs for High End PC in 2006 CW - Apple makes all the things you're asking about very user friendly in their iTunes interface. You certainly don't need tons of RAM to stream music, but modern operating systems, certainly the current Apple OSX, are memory hogs and you'd do bet... | |

| The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas .... and look, Marco dropped his hall pass..........Yeah, and I paid good money for that pass too! Can anyone suggest any upgrades from eternal damnation? I didn't know there was no music...I thought at least there may be some Tool or NIN playing ... | |
| The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas Anyone want to add politics and sex so we can have a complete melt down?Well...uh...do you really have to ask?In the beginning, god created music and gave man the turntable to listen to his LP collection on, and woman something to complain about..... | |
| The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas This wasn't for this past Christmas, but a few years ago my brother gave me a handy dandy CD scratch removal and cleaning machine. I think it was sold in the Sharper Image catalog, and also available in ominous colorful piles by the checkouts of y... | |

| The Debate's Not Over What, you mean sweater-dude Tony Robbins? Motivational mambo Tony? He's a vampire?! What does he have to do with horses or audio? You need to climb up here on the chandelierre (don't worry, you won't need to spell it correctly to climb it) and che... | |
