The Entry Level
Submitted by jcollins8504 on

I need some advice on equipment. I read a little into stereos a few years back... I ended up purchasing a NAD c352 integrated amplifier and NAD C521bee under msrp. I understand that is entry level equipment but decent on a budget. Today, I still have this amplifier and cd player. I never paired them with speakers and want some advice on speakers. I will be listening to classical, acoustic, and classic rock more then other types of music. I'm also on a budget($1200-$1500). I know I should go listen to all of the speakers out there but 1) I don't have the time to do so.

Hi,

I would like to see an article, series of articles, or perhaps a column that deeply explores the subject of MP3s, FLAC, and digital delivery of music.

As a 6 year user of products such as the Logitech Squeezebox range of products, I have not spun (except for ripping to my server) a silver disc in over 5 years.

I would like to see articles explore topics like these:

Me and Elements Down By the Schoolyard

Today, “Elements of Our Enthusiasm” turns five years old, which, in blog years, is older than the universe. I thank you, dear readers, for sticking around and making this blog one of the most visited pages on our entire website. “Elements” is more popular than Justin Bieber.

For the 4th month, Zinio version unptintable

Submitted by jyow on

I am sorry for my monthly whining.

Despite Stephen's repeated heroic effort to convince Zinio, Stereophile is still unprintable.

I am befuddled by the difficulty of getting Zinio support. Surely Stereophile is one of their largest customer/merchant?

I complained to HiFi News when they first came out and they managed to fix it within the next issue. They also sent me physical issues to compensate for the inconvenience.

Are you talking to the right people?

Pastoral Prine

Pastoral Prine

Sep 15, 2010

Seeing John Prine the other night on Governor’s Island with <I>Stereophile</I>'s Stephen Mejias was a fairly profound experience, owing to Prine’s strange, elegiac tone. It may be that he wasn’t down with the venue (a windy island at night) or that he was simply tired (he looked it), but almost everything he sung, even the fun ones like, “Please Don’t Bury Me,” had an odd sadness clinging to it. I tried not to think about how Prine beat cancer back in 1998. The first time I saw him backstage after the cancer had been cut and radiated out of his throat, he cracked a smile and chirped, “Well Robert, this is what happens when you start smoking when you’re 14. What did I expect?” Thankfully his voice and his irascible disposition returned undiminished by the illness. He’s lost some tissue in his neck and his voice did indeed get a little growlier, but overall he was extremely lucky. I prefer to ascribe his lonely tone last Friday to the fact that he’s been singing some of those songs for 40 years and just decided to give them a different emotional bent in New York. Truly though I have never seen a Prine show that wasn’t laced with jokes, spot on wisecracks and sly references to the current world history. And never have I heard one of his signature songs “Donald and Lydia,” done so beautifully, its chorus lines turned into a near prayer:
“But dreaming just comes natural
Like the first breath from a baby,
Like sunshine feeding daisies,
Like the love hidden deep in your heart.”
