Joan Sutherland

La Stupenda is no more. The brilliant coloratura soprano Joan Sutherland, who died a thousand deaths onstage after emitting flawless high E-flats, died at her home near Montreux, Switzerland, on Sunday, October 10. Her death was confirmed by her frequent stage partner and friend, mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne.

6ER5 Tube in preamps Question

Forums

I am a recent convert to tubes (about 3 years) and have purchased a tube line stage and power amp, and have done a great deal of reading on the subject but I only recently came across this tube when reading about the Wright Sounds WPP 100 phono stage. this unit uses 4 of these tubes along with 2 12AU7's.

In all the searches I have done for tube gear and in all the reading I have done I did not come across a unit using the 6ER5 tube except for the Wright Sounds unit.

I am going nuts trying to find these wires. I basically have a laptop with a single 1/8"(3.5mm) output. I am trying to connect to it two active monitors that have 1/4" outputs and I cannot find a cable that splits 1/8" into 1/4"s. Does anyone know where can I find such a cable? The closest I have seen is this: http://www.samash.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...iates-_-na-_-na

Music Forum Gets Makeover

Maybe I'm late to the party but I'm just noticing the makeover to the music genres here at the forum. Seems Stephen and Ariel have revamped the areas in an attempt to somewhat delete 'categorization' of this universal language. Well done gentlemen. Hopefully it will stimulate more sharing of our diverse musical tastes!

Julianna Barwick’s Sanguine Needs Our Help

Julianna Barwick’s Sanguine Needs Our Help

One of my favorite albums of the year comes from Brooklyn-based artist <a href="http://www.myspace.com/juliannabarwick">Julianna Barwick</a>. The album is called <i>Florine</i>. Michael Lavorgna <a href="http://www.twitteringmachines.com/2010/03/julianna-barwick/">told me about it</a>. It was months ago and I remember leaving work that day and rushing over to <a href="http://www.othermusic.com/">Other Music</a> to buy the album. I got one of the first 200, pressed on white vinyl. <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/last_night_in_other_music/">K…; congratulated me and told me that I’d be very happy with the music.

Michael Lavorgna’s October issue “As We See It” generated many more responses than we had space for in our December issue “Letters” section (a great bunch!), so we’ve appended all of the letters to the Web reprint, which you can find <a href="http://www.stereophile.com/asweseeit/why_music_matters_most/index.html"… here</a>.
