The Best of 2005

I've only recently become smitten with Classical music, in part due to some recent upgrades to my system, but also due to aging and a desire for more relaxing enjoyment of my time at home.

I am fortunate to have one of the best radio stations in the country for this type of music, both in high quality broadcasting and 24/7 non-commercial access.

While surfing their site KMFA Austin I ran across another link that I thought I would share with those of you that appreciate well recorded music of this type.

I would like a selection of Elvis tunes (digital format) but would like the best sounding of the various offerings out there. Either individual discs or collections are fine. A nice career selection is a plus but I am not an Elvis completist by any means. Any suggestions of titles to look for??

XLO Oops

In his January "Sam's Space" column, while writing about the system he used with Sutherland's Director line stage (p.32), Sam Tellig wrote "For the most part, I used now-discontinued XLO interconnects and speaker cables. XLO itself has been discontinued, alas. I do miss its founder, Roger Skoff."

Suing the RIAA

Actually, the RIAA's <I>attorneys</I> are being sued by James and Angela Nelson, who were themselves the target of <I>Motown v. Nelson</I>, which alleged that the couple had allowed an employee of Ms. Nelson's home-run daycare center to access P2P websites from their computer.
