The Revolution That Never Was

The Revolution That Never Was

Apr 26, 2010 First Published:Jun 26, 1982

Not too many years ago, high-fidelity movement was being hailed from all quarters (and many halves) as a revolution. In the sense that it took the country storm, and made billions of dollars for many entrepreneurs during heyday, it was indeed a revolution. But now the public has grown tired of high fidelity and is turning other electronic diversions—video, video games, and computering. And what, as of this summer of 1982, do we have to show for the high-fidelity revolution?

Exactly six months after we’d seen them perform in Puerto Rico, at that strange island bar, Bamboo Beach (see “Records to Die For,” February 2010, pages 71-72), the <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/when_im_gone/">Vivian Girls</a> performed on Saturday night, this time so much closer to home, at Maxwell’s in Hoboken. I bought tickets for the whole crew&#151Rizzo, Fritzy, Papi Chulo, Fuzzy, and Tigga&#151so that, together again for the first time since that memorable trip, we could <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/what_happened_in_puerto_rico/… the magic</a>. We ate well, drank too much, laughed, danced, and sang along as the Vivian Girls burned through their energetic set.

Touch versus Transporter

Okay so I hooked up the analog outputs of the Squeezebox Touch to my main audio system (Sim Audio Moon pre-amp and power amp, Vandersteen Model 3A Signatures and Vandersteen sub-woofer) to compare against the Squeezebox Transporter. The Touch has only single ended outputs whereas the Transporter has both single ended and balanced analog outputs. I am using the balance outputs for the Transporter.

A politician I can really get behind.

HEard him on the radio yesterday. Highly articulate, intelligent, ex military(he came under fire for firing a weapon *behind* an Enemy combatant(not at the enemy, just behind, into a clearing barrel), very conservative... I am very, very impressed with this man.

This is the black president we need. Not the current welfare state socialist guff we are putting up with now.

I just found an old Sony DVP-S550D CD/DVD Player in my basement that my dad bought in 1999. I've been wanting to get a good CD player for some time now, but I just don't have much money. I tried to find reviews of this CD player, but they are hard to find since it's so old. Anyone use this for CD's, or know anything about its CD playback capabilities? Could I use this as my primary CDP and save some money, or would I be better off saving up and investing in something better?
