Press Day

Press Day

Today is Press Day at the <a href="http://www.stereophile.com/news/montreal_audio_show_starts_friday/">2010 Salon Son & Image</a>, located at the extraordinary Hilton Bonadventure, a penthouse hotel perched above the Place Bonadventure exhibition center, built for the 1967 World’s Fair. At the moment, exhibitors and members of the press are just getting acquainted with the unusual hotel, which has an extremely tempting heated outdoor pool and garden views at every turn. Lines are just beginning to form at the registration desk, where I couldn’t help but say hello to the charming staff.

read this before it gets disappeared...

The most deadly accurate and hilarious account of life in local tv news ever.

I don't know who this person is, but she is telling powerful truth.

I've gotta believe someone in management land will figure out who is behind it, and kill that person.

One example, from a piece about viewer comments:


Quote:

My favorite e-mail from a viewer once read:

Transferred to Tweaks section from another 'thread'.

The original 'thread' was concerning the Totem Acoustic Forest speaker (under the section April 2010 issue) but that debate was then diverted to mentioning Enid Lumley.
To quote from Buddha :-

>>> "I've tried to find "Enid's Corner" articles online, but have never found them." <<<

Buddha, I have Enid Lumley's last article in "The Absolute Sound" (Vol 12 January/February 1987) entitled "A Guide to Audio Gremlins: Their Detection and Elimination"

Cleaning Heresy

OK, I admit I do not have a record cleaning machine so I use sprays and brushed and lint free cloths normally, BUT...

I use a super tweak to clean computer keyboards and remotes for anything. 'Cyber Clean' is sort of a blob of rubbery stuff that feels wet but isn't. It is applied on the thing to be cleaned and a little pressure is applied. The thing spreads into crevices and lifts off dirt and grime and leaves no residue...

stacked my albumns incorrectly for better sound

I posted before about receiving about 150 grungy albums and cleaning them with soap & water before I'd even let them touch my 'table. So, to keep them in some order, I stacked about 15 or 20 on each speaker on their sides, not on edge as they should be (my Snell B Minors are on casters) and lo and behold, the overall sound has improved. Seems tighter and more detailed. Maybe less cabinet movement and more floor coupling??

On Our Way to Montreal

On Our Way to Montreal

The <a href="http://www.stereophile.com/news/montreal_audio_show_starts_friday/">Sal… Son & Image</a> hi-fi show opens on Friday, March 26, in Montreal, one of the world’s friendliest and most colorful cities. Tomorrow morning, John Atkinson will arrive at my front door, and we’ll drive the 376 miles from Jersey City to Montreal’s Hilton Bonaventure, where its rooftop garden and two floors of music await us.

They cling to their religion and their guns.....

The Pope and Nancy Pelosi are on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a huge crowd.

The Pope leans towards Mrs. Pelosi and said, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts and they'll forever speak of this day and rejoice!"

Pelosi replied, "I seriously doubt that. With one little wave of your hand? Show me!"

So the Pope backhanded the bitch.
