BW writes: George was not enamored with Yoko. There were instances were she supposedly hurt her back, yet George saw her walking around Abbey Rd. studio. She, also, was to have taken his food several times. But one of the big blow ups came when George asked John to appear for the concert for Bangladesh. […]
TL writes: Paul McCartney was generally fairly realistic when assessing Beatles’ songs. However, he inexplicably once said that his favorite Beatles song was “You Know My Name (Look Up the Number).” And there were Beatles songs that he didn’t like.

The legendary Keith Jarrett Trio, playing live at NDR Funkhaus, Hamburg in July 1972, is captured at the very apex of its creativity on an album released for the first time by ECM. From the first notes, with its radiant piano, it is clear that something special is happening here. The trio with Charlie Haden […]
A stellar radio broadcast from the Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ tour. Bruce and the E Street Band are in particularly fine form and perform some rather experimental and drawn out versions of some of their nicest tunes, most notably, a gorgeous performance of “New York City Serenade”. Remastered in audiophile quality and presented beautifully in a […]
Gentlemen, can home made cables really offer quality as distinct from value? Here’s what Paul McGowan (PS Audio) says on the subject. Fatter wire sounds fuller, skinnier wire sounds thin, shielded wire sounds cleaner but veiled, stranded wire sounds one way and solid core thicker wire sounds yet another. These findings were very suspicious to […]

F M writes: I used to represent a company. They were wonderful. The products are very cheaply made at any price level. Resale value should be very tiny. Let me give you an example: for $500 in the United States, you can buy a pair of Elac stand mount loudspeakers that would sound better than […]

There are many multi-driver speakers, but few that go floor to ceiling like the IRSV. Floor to ceiling multi-driver speakers are called a Line Source. What’s counter-intuitive about a line source is how specific the imaging can be. With that many drivers, one would think the image would be tall, rather than lifelike, when the […]
It has survived the 7 consecutive plays or it goes back test here. Must be good. It is good. Fine musicianship. An undemanding listen but far from wallpaper either. Read a comprehensive and in my view accurate if slightly harsh review HERE I wouldn’t suggest paying full price because … You can pick up a […]
