    Remember Karl Haas?

    I used to listen to him in the morning on Public Radio. Haas had some nice classical shows. I found a few of his old shows on the Internet Archive. He died years ago, it was nice to hear his voice again.

    The Moment When It All Comes Together - What's your ingredients???

    Last night, after a particularly difficult week, I sat down with my smaller system, and decided to spin a Leon Russell Greatest Hits cd. The player, a JVC XL-Z1050 with the "paradox" mod, has been flaking out on me of late. dr*audio has been trying to help, but periodically, the damned thing...

    I recently purchased a Yamaha RX-V870 receiver for a VERY cheap price ($12 CAD). After hooking up my Reference Audio R50S - 100 watt bookshelves and Yamaha YST-SW45 subwoofer, I think it's time to look around and upgrade my speakers. I'm primarily going to be using the receiver for music...

    Elusivity

    Okay, so it's not a word. At least, I'm pretty sure (>90%) it isn't, but I'm not browser-searching it to check. Because even if it isn't a word, you know its meaning... and I like the way it sounds. Some recordings elude us. One that has dodged me for years, decades actually, is Passport's...

    Voice of Music 1484 Receiver - What Would You Pay?

    Found a Voice of Music 1484 receiver on CL. Seller is asking $75 but reports that it won't power on. Not much info to be had on the internets about this model... that's gotten me even more interested in it. I'm a sucker for the older, (sixties-early seventies) not-so-well-known solid state...

    Synergy, how do you define it when it comes to audio gear?

    I replied to a thread a short time ago, and used the term synergy. Some people don't like that term. I think it is a great term! It defines something that can't be measurable, but exists when the mix is just right. In terms of teams and team building, where I first heard the term, it had to do...

    Soundtracks for reading/writing/thinking/working

    Some people require absolute quiet while they sit and think, but I concentrate better (and for longer times) when there is some sound in the background. I like the babble and murmur of a cafe or restaurant more than the silence of my office, but I can't concentrate with 'interesting' or engaging...
