Call That a Knife?

Call That a Knife?

My problem with the Swiss Army Knife has always been that it was a pretty lousy <I>knife</I>&mdash;the steel used for blades was hard to sharpen and easy to dull. Back when you could still carry a knife when you traveled, I would carry the Tourist, which had a bottle opener, corkscrew, tweezers, toothpick, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and two useless blades.

Advice Needed! MP3 player to go with my ER4P's...

hey guys, this is my first post here. I just purchased some Etymotic ER4Ps after I read the review of the ER4s's on this site. I'm looking forward to any advice the more seasoned veterans of the audiophile world can offer.
I now need advice on which MP3 player to pair with these beauties. What do you think of the specs of this player?

The Perfect Demo CD

The Perfect Demo CD

As CES approaches, the e-mails and phone calls pour in. Though the temperature here in New York City remains in the mid-fifties, we're snowed under by invites to dinners, demos, and other assorted press events. We mark our calendars, make reservations, create itineraries. As it continues, I wish that all the talk and preparation would come to a sudden end. I wish we were there already, in Vegas, listening to music.

Messianic Delusions

Messianic Delusions

Jessica Duchen says, "Christmas is coming, decisions are being made over whether to splash out on an organic turkey, and Handel's Messiah is being reheated for its annual outings. With its stirring choruses and memorable melodies, it's no wonder that Messiah is still everyone's seasonal favourite, especially when performed in a style allegedly appropriate to the mid-18th century. But just as consumers of supposedly organic food can be misled, so music-lovers, dazzled by displays of "superior" knowledge, often swallow assurances that they're hearing a historically correct performance when they manifestly aren't."
