I was picking Pat Leonard's brain (he is a mega producer/engineer/composer) about the making of "Amused to Death" and he mentioned that "Toy Matinee" was his favorite album, the one he was most proud of making..

anyway, got it and it blows me away. Sounds great, fantastic songs...

I recently got a new full time job at a really nice pawn shop. I am the only person there that really knows anything about 2 channel systems so I volunteered to maintain all of the 2 channel components being put out on the floor. We pulled an entire stereo system today and I decided to put the whole thing out as a demo display. The system includes a lot of lower end Kenwood components but also has some higher end filters and such.

The Components are as follows:

I made this for my blog and I thought some people around here might find it of interest as well.

Aloha,

I am enthralled by the house concert movement and have a chance to try to host some.

However, I have no clue as to what gear is required.

If I have a two channel mixer with the ability to have two inputs and then get powered speakers, other than a couple mics, do I need anything else?

Kal has delivered yet another excellent review of the Classe SSP Processor in the July issue. As usual, it is a model of clarity and information, without the typical audio hyperbole that clouds most other reviews.

I'm not saying KEF make bad speakers, but who would wanna listen in this room? And what's with the skewed 5 speaker setup? Where are the cables? Do they really expect a serious audio listener to have such a moron setup, with absolutely bare walls and 25' to the ceiling? And what's the model doing there? Waiting for drinks? Oh, I get it: The audio-wise totally blank playboy is taking a shower before seducing her...

I'd expect that room to sound worse than horrible - much rather have my own listening room

I'm very curious about Franck Tchang's "SugarCubes". Small rosewood blocks (about the size of a sugarcube) with special channels (aka holes) drilled into them, that are used in a special grid formation to treat room resonances. For, as he says, "you do not fight a problem. You spread it around, minimize and blend it in to reduce its overall impact on the room's sonic fingerprint." His HeartSong racks (want one), which use related ideas, are to die for. And you might have to to get one, if the wood is unavailable, because orders stop at that point.
