Monkeyhaus: Ottawa (Ohio!)

The system: An Integra disc player, Pro-Ject Debut III turntable, Cambridge Audio Azur 540A integrated amplifier, and Bellari VP129 phono preamp.

I didn’t even know there was an Ottawa in Ohio. But there is. Turns out to be a village in the northwest section of the state, about 155 miles west of Cleveland. The Mayor is Kenneth A. Maag, and in 2009, the village celebrated its 175th anniversary. Can you believe that? The Village of Ottawa has a population of 4,367, and among them are at least two music lovers.

Best of 2010!!

Speaker Crackling...

hello all...

this may not be the best place for this question, but i'm 90% sure yall will have the answer.

I currently play my guitar through a Mesa Boogie 5:25 Express 10" combo + 10" extension cab.

Recently the speaker on the combo has been crackling and really hurting the sound of my guitar. The extension cab is not crackling.

Any advice as to what might be happening? How do I fix this....?

Grinderman Bring Evil to the Best Buy Theater

Grinderman Bring Evil to the Best Buy Theater

I hope you’ve had an opportunity to listen to our October 2010 “Recording of the Month,” the evil and often hilarious Grinderman 2. On Sunday, I got to see the band play at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square. (The strangeness of seeing Grinderman perform at a place called “Best Buy Theater” is surpassed, albeit slightly, by the fact that the show took place on a Sunday, the Day of Our Lord.)

In “Old-School Hi-Fi in Search of the New New Thing,” Hal Espen visits the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest and ponders the inherent dilemma of hi-fi.

How can a decidedly old-fashioned hobby move forward in an increasingly newfangled world?

Outside the listening rooms, the story of this year's Rocky Mountain Audio Fest traced the mood-swings and anxieties that buoy and beset the retro-futuristic world of high-end audio.
