David Chesky: A Portrait of the Artist as His Own Man

David Lander  |  Oct 30, 2005

David Chesky, whose company has been making superior recordings for nearly 20 years now, isn't from the engineering side of the business. He's talent—a pianist who sometimes performs on his label, a composer of classical and jazz selections integral to its catalog, and an arranger as well.

XM Radio debuts Classical Confidential

Jason Victor Serinus  |  Oct 30, 2005

This week, XM Satellite Radio launches Classical Confidential, a series of hour-long artist profiles. Modeled after XM's Artist Confidential series, in which listeners can get to know high-profile artists "up close and personal," per XM, the new show's first installment features an hour with Sony BMG's favorite male violinist, the sweet-toned, extremely gifted Joshua Bell. Subsequent shows will feature the magnificent mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli and conductor Leonard Slatkin.

audio server via AirTunes follow-up?

Piqued by JA's somewhat recent investigation of Apple's AirPort Express & Apple Lossless via AirTunes, I suggest that Stereophile run a follow-up article assessing the merits -- sonic & logistic -- of replacing a transport based digital front end w/ a hard disk based audio server connected via Wi-Fi to an external DAC.

Can bookshelf speaker be used on their own?

I'm considering putting together a budget system based on a wireless music streaming device such as a Apple Airport Express or Slim Devices Squeezebox.

I'm totally ignorant about modern hi-fi systems - my music system for the last 15 years has been a PC and a pair of earbuds! What I would like to know is, is it possible to use a pair of meduim sized bookshelf speakers on their own, or is a sub-woofer or a pair of towers needed?

Where do you buy new vinyl?

Hello,

I posted this question in another forum, but I'll post it here as well.

I need some help in finding a place online that specializes in selling new vinyl. Are there any places out there that have a great selection of new LPs?

Thanks,
Josh

budget iPod basic hi-fi solution

I am trying to set up a basic hi-fi system with the following objectives:

- source iPod
- no need for the full home theater package that seems to be the standard on the market now...
- I would love small speakers but power as I have a large room (equivalent to 2x100W output in the old fashioned way)
- potentially A/B system to put additional speakers in a second room
- cheap !

Any ideas ?
