Web Monkey, Jon Iverson, has informed me that today is the 40th birthday of the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, held at Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York. I really don't know much at all about Woodstock. I haven't read any of the books or watched any of the movies. I know that Richie Havens opened (and played and played until he couldn't play anymore), but I've only just recently acquired that bit of knowledge. I know that Jimi Hendrix tore through an angry version of the "Star-Spangled Banner." I know that Janis Joplin was there. I've seen that funny video of Joe Cocker singing "With A Little Help from My Friends." And I've heard that many of the performances absolutely <i>sucked</i>.

What happened to equalizers?

This is clearly an entry level question.

So I have found a fairly major hole in my Rotel RX-1052 multi-zone receiver. It has treble and bass tuning for the main output, but not for the zones (is this a major oversight by Rotel?). I have an auxillary zone running through an RMB 1066 amp, pushing 4 speakers in my living room. Everything sounds great when my TV is the source, but when I switch to Phono, it gets dull and bass heavy. I know the speakers can sound better b/c I've run them through the primary output with tuning capabilities. So I need an EQ, right?

Brittle, almost painful "S" sounds and ride cymbal sounds on LPs

I am running my Technics Sl-D2 turntable with a Shure m44G cartridge through a BBE phono preamp into a pair of audioengine A2 speakers. On certain records, "s" sounds distort, and crash and ride cymbals sound tinny and semi-painful. Is it the records, my cartridge, my table? All of the above? Please help.

The two LPs I noticed this on were "Already Free" by the Derek Trucks band (the CD and MP3's do not distort on the speakers). And Try! by the John Mayer Trio (Mp3's didn't distort either.)

I know that every time someone dies, it’s now customary to intone about what a hero they were, how much they were always had a smile for everyone, how they were great family men, husbands, fathers, etc. etc. etc. Speak no ill of the dead, I get it.

Now on Newsstands: Stereophile, Vol.32 No.9

Aug 13, 2009

The September 2009 issue of <i>Stereophile</i> is now on newsstands. What do you think of the cover? Is it exciting enough for you? Does it make you want to rescue our darling magazine from the clutches of the ungodly newsstand and kiss it? Did we obscure too much of our logo with the big Wilson MAXX 3? Did you think that our magazine was called <i>Stereop</i>?
