Listening #93

One more word for unhappy consumers, in any marketplace, who confuse praise for the new with rebuke for the old: 20 years on, I continue to admire the best qualities of my <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/turntables/1103linn">Linn Sondek LP12</A> turntable (itself not the first LP12 I've owned). I smile to think of all the records I enjoyed during those two decades.

How to block the Stereophile subscription popup

Okay, my post is really a bit more specific than its title implies, as it's only about how to do this using Firefox with the "Adblock plus" plugin. But since it identifies the name of the javascript (.js) file that causes the popup, I'm hoping that technically-inclined users of other browsers and/or popup blockers can chime in with their instructions of how to do this with their browser/popup blocker combo. That way, as many users as possible can block it.

These instructions only apply to Firefox. If you already have the "Adblock plus" plugin installed, you can skip to step 3.

Do you like Phil Collins?

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument.

Im new and Hello. Does anyone own PSB T6's?

Greetings. Ive been one of those reading types for a bit, and decided to post here.

Im thinking about putting together a home system to balance quality music with movie watching and am leaning toward PSB T6's in a 5.1 setup driven by an Onkyo TX-NR5008. The 5008 is brand new, but the T6's have been out a while. Does anyone have a few words on PSB speakers?

More computer based digital audio coverage, PLEASE
