Given the subject matter addressed in the title and other tracks on You Want It Darker and Leonard Cohen’s advanced age (82), it’s tempting to hear this as a last album. In advance of its release, he told The New Yorker he was ready to die, but later walked back that comment. He wrote some […]

I thought I would start this new form off with a discussion of what kind of British gear AKers have. I’ll start: Spendor SP-1/2e’s Target stands and rack Dip in and out HERE

If you’ve never seen this movie and loved the band, I highly recommend this. The footage and interviews are amazing. If you have Netflix streaming its on there. There’s more than one Cream movie so make sure you pick this one. To be able to see Jack Bruce play Sunshine of your Love on stand […]
We are told: “The Three Kings mean the world to me. Freddie, Albert and of course BB. Giants, humble, yet gentlemen off stage but give them an ES-355 or Flying V respectively and they became sonic assassins playing with such fire and virtue that it shook the very ground of anyone brave enough to stand […]
Harrison Boyle (composer) replies …… In terms of music as music – apart from some of the social/political afflatus mentioned in the answers so far – the major candidates for controversial in terms of the actual notes (or absence thereof) are probably, from oldest to most recent: Stravinsky Rite of Spring Schoenberg Pierrot Lunaire George […]
In the previous post I told the story of receiving 14 tickets in a row for the same heinous crime: no brake or tail lights on my little red sports car. I promptly threw away all the tickets and went about my business until a cop showed up at the door with a warrant for […]

Mike’s spent a lifetime learning about vinyl audio reproduction and hand selected the best equipment in the world. His digital setup played through that same setup doesn’t quite match my own. That also […]
Paul McGowan writes: The term “listener fatigue” is something we’re all familiar with and something none of us want. What is listener fatigue, why does it occur and what is it we can do about it? What’s interesting to me about this subject is there are no measurements, no rules, no clear answers to the […]
What is the significance of the folding transmission line in a loudspeaker? My guess is that not many of you have heard of a folding transmission line in a loudspeaker, much less ever heard one working. The late Bud Fried, from Fried Audio (pronounced “freed” as opposed to what one might do with eggs), was […]
Paul McGowan writes: There are two primary types of reflections in a loudspeaker based stereo system: those that are created from the loudspeakers and those captured on the recording. To get proper imaging in your system you don’t need both, as any good set of headphones would demonstrate, but since most of us have loudspeakers […]
I have just seen that the new dCS player ( Rossini) does not offer SACD playback. As dCS were one of rhe developers of the system this is quite a departure for them. Rumour has it that Esoteric are no longer offering their SACD transports as OEM items which is the cause (any truth in […]
