Rediscovering the Faith

I enjoyed Steve Guttenberg bit in vinyl...My only qualm is with his caveat "when you start listening to a first class analog front end"...

Where? When? I have never heard a vinyl setup that is as good as my very modest digital one, mine certainly isn't.

I would love to hear such a setup but, as far as I know, no one in Boise Idaho has such a thing...

Sigh...

New topic...when is Stereophile going to review PS audios new front ends...By the time they get around to it the technology will be obsolete...

Guvera

Guvera

Feb 19, 2010

The relationship between the internet and music continues to evolve in new and bizarre ways. The latest is Guvera, a site that offers free music downloads, that the principals say uses the sponsorship model in new and they hope successful ways and keeps everyone—from artist to label to consume—happy. When you register for the site, they ask you a battery of questions about your likes and dislikes and then you’re free to search for a song or an artist. The site will then direct you to a channel or channels, sponsored by an advertiser, which has what you’re looking for. Using the information from those initial customers’ surveys and then your subsequent download history, the site’s algorhythms find the target audience for certain advertisers and grab their eyeballs in a better way than pop up or strip ads. They also tell the advertisers what music the customers they want to reach listen to. The advertiser pays the royalties on the music to whoever holds the copyright. In other words, either the record label or the artist gets paid. It ain’t stealing.

This just in; art will imitate life which imitated art.

NBC has anounced a new show:

"My Name is Eldrick."

Lying in a hospital bed, under the influence of morphine, Eldrick develops a belief in the Americanized concept of karmic retribution when he hears about karma during an episode of Last Call with Carson Daly.

He decides he wants to turn his life around, and so makes a list of every slore he's ever done in an attempt to un-screw them, as he believes that this is the only way he can gain positive karma.

Asus Essence Sound Card: Making Sense of Digital Audio

The Entry Level
Submitted by richardmoss on

Not quite getting digital audio, when for example, JA notes the Asus sound card processes 192 hz--but there's really good stuff at 177 or 188 (these are notional.)

But getting ahead of myself. Until the broadband duopolies (Comcast & Verizon) half monthly fees, I'm buying CDs. So in that context, is using a workstation and whatever drive (Plextor, e.g.) and the Asus card, a preferable solution to, e.g. Oppo 83.
