Sam's praise of Erich Kunzel well deserving

What a great piece for Sam to share with us. As to the demise of Telarc, it is sad but a true testiment of our times. The folks at Concord should be ashamed, but are probably not. In an age were quality of recordings is dismissed in favor of MP3 crap, it should come as no surprise the industry turns, dismisses, and ignores those who cared about audio quality. We have lost respect for the music and now a lack of respect for those who did care is bound to follow.

Casa Werner

During my Barcelona sojourn, I made a trip to the leading high end gear store in that beautiful city, <B>Casa Werner</B>, which is downtown, on the Ronda Sant Pere. Open since 1933, this former music store which began selling Victrolas along with 78’s, before moving entirely from content to gear, has been in the same family now for about a decade.

A very interesting article in Audio Xpress

Well, a copy of Audio Xpress showed up in the bottom of my Parts Express box that arrived yesterday, so I read it while I was muttering about how to cut a nice circular hole exactly 4 25/32 in diameter. (freeping drivers with no flange to speak of)

Surprise, an article about cable testing by Ed Simon. Now, there is history there, I KNOW Ed, have known him since I was a freshman at CMU, he and I were in a few lab groups along with a couple of other people who have done quite well since. (Yes, it was a fun lab group, boys and women.)

the steve sammett/frog/ethan triangle needs to stop.

I don't know about anyone else, but I get tired of seeing the same confrontational/libelous garbage volleyed about. Sammett and Frog take any and every opportunity (irregardless of thread subject matter) to recycle the same tired, axe-grinding, personal grudge nonsense...it was past its shelf life long ago..now it is just annoying.
