Pawlowski-David Sedaris is a regular "guest" on NPR. Along with being a writer, I guess I would call him a raconteur, or an observer of the human condition, he uses his own life experiences as examples. Amy Sedaris, his sister, recently had a TV s...

Dave Eggers' latest : "What is the what"David Sedaris is the brother of actress Amy Sedaris who has also just published a hilarious satire on entertaining...Synthfreek-Excellent group of authors you have listed there... are you a librarian by chance? 
Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1?
Thanks sirspeedy! The Magic Diamond was not on my radar until I heard it mated with the Walker Proscenium Gold Signature turntable. It's no understatement when I say it was an ear opening experience. It was at that moment I decided that I had to h... 
Life after Maggies?

Under Appreciated Jazz Piano Players
Ahmad Jamal (already listed)Duke Ellington (ditto)Keith Jarrett - I don't think I saw his name yet...I would also give a nod to Bruce Hornsby as some of his solo performances are very much in the jazz vein, and he handles himself admirably.

OK, I get it. Seeing as though the Ortofon SPU is an integral Headshell/Cart combination, I guess it makes sense that Mr. Andreoli would have christened his with that moniker...

OK Nsgarch - I'll bite: What is a Tondose? The Virus cart's underside is a bilious green color, just as the MD Blue's is blue. So- I guess it's "virus green" Kind of like the van den Hul "Frog"....

terzilaw-I think you need to check your facts. Below is a letter to Positive Feedback Online regarding Mr Andreoli and his work.I have also included a link to Micromagic for you for more details. As the owner of a Magic Diamond Blue AND a Denon 10... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
As an FYI to folks following this thread, I just recieved a notice from Brad at Revelation Audio Labs that the custom umbilical for the Supratek power supply is on it's way to me. To those of you waiting for yours, you should be hearing from Brad ...
