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.

Where's the conflict?

That's my question too!
What's this guy's problem? JA & others use recordings they are familiar with. Some are ones JA has done the recording of; so? JA's reputation & integrity are at risk because of this? That's nonsense!
John, I liked your response & thanks for reference to WP's article; good reading. Also, regarding Editor's Choice, I printed out that article & read it when I listen to the CD which is very good! Larry
