People use to that I keep bitching about electricity. Practically anyone who developed playback to a more or less capable level and who has ears know that quality of electricity hugely affects sound. I personally do not fight with electricity - I def...

This weekend I found some transformers in my storage and I put together the Baby Melquiades headphone amplifier. It turns out to be very cure little amp. It is 9'x9' but has all Milq’s incidents including the choke intuit supply for plates and t...

Gluttons for punishment, Mark and I went to the Newport
Beach audio thing-ee again this year. Generally, I was most struck by how much

I listened to these files for two (2!) hours last night. Over and over again. Don't ask why. The choice of music is unfortunate but it is what it is.
There must be some physiological activity going on with the A8 box as I became somewhat accustom...

It is interesting: in NY’s concert I picked the NPoR’s recording of Pathetique issued by DELOS DE-3379. I never seen this CD anywhere (it is too new – 2007 February) and it is not even listed in Delos catalog. If you were fool enough to miss the NPoR...

Beinum recorded the Bruckner 8 in 1955 twice, in April and In June. My comment above goes for June recording.
There is something else I would like to add in context to Beinum 55 vs. Lubeck’s Wand.
