In the past few installments of this column I've promised to talk about another subwoofer equalizer system. Now I'm going to pull the old switcheroo and discuss a different subwoofer EQ. The SMS-1 is a new, standalone digital equalizer system from Velodyne, based on the EQ built into their DD-series subwoofers. Larry Greenhill went <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/subwoofers/604velodyne">gaga</A&gt; over the Velodyne DD-18 in the June 2004 <I>Stereophile</I>, particularly because of the ease and sophistication of the EQ system. Apparently, one of the Velodyne sales guys asked the obvious: What about making the EQ available separately for use with other subwoofers?

"You know I <I>hate</I> it when the system's not warmed up!"

Bagheera digs retro-fi.

Ever wonder what the heck that meant? Wonder no more.

Phi is sexy.

A silly site that links words from songs to your text. Regular messages are completely incomprehensible, but I've found that gibberish and free verse work pretty well&mdash;essentially the same schtick that worked for me in high school creative writing class.

In the US, we're celebrating Thanksgiving today, ostensibly a holiday when we take stock of our blessings and give thanks for them. These days, Thanksgiving is mostly a foodie bacchanal and football orgy. Instead of the usual ironic, silly, and interesting urls <I>Stereophilia</I> usually offers, I'm posting links to some of the most worthwhile causes I know. If you feel thankful, share a little of your good fortune with these folks.
