Fiery Furnaces Friday

Fiery Furnaces Friday

Hey everybody! As we like to say around here in the office, it's "Happy Friday!" For alliterative purposes, let's call it "Fiery Furnaces Friday." <a href="http://www.thefieryfurnaces.com/site/">The Fiery Furnaces</a> have something up their sleeve, and I don't know what it's all about, but I'm betting that's it's good. I bet there are a lot of words involved. But, perhaps, no sound. A lot of alliteration, too. The Fiery Furnaces are good at that.

Gabe Dixon Band

Check out the Gabe Dixon Band off the Concord Music Group web site and listen to "All Will Be Well". I like it and ordered the CD. A folky version of Jamie Cullum. Another University of Miami product: (Suntan U. ) as Bruce Hornsby calls it.

Maybe we need another genre in the music spot: Folk/Country/BlueGrass. Do it for AD.

Hegel Music Systems

Hegel Music Systems

Norway's Hegel Music Systems has made its way to the US market. I met Hegel and the company's charming founder, Bent Holter, at the <a href=" http://blog.stereophile.com/ces2007/010907set/">2007 Consumer Electronics Show</a> and then again in Las Vegas during <a href=" http://blog.stereophile.com/ces2008/011208top/">the following year</a>. On both occasions, I had a lot of fun listening to music and learning about Holter's designs. As I wrote last year, I was instantly attracted to the designer's combination of tech-talk and passion for music. The guy is at once serious and totally wacky.

John Atkinson

recent release is great~!!
I beg of you...
Please make two mic/minimalist recordings SOP from here out.

so, so much better..

if you cannot do that, at least do it as they did times past..

mix down to 2 track, on the fly.

Like these guys

I believe that these approaches more closely align with the idea of "HiFi"... pure, unadulterated...

thanks again!

Multi channel surround vs stereo.

This was interesting in the Stereophile habits thread. Thought we might discuss it some more here.

Have been stereo for years. This week bought an Yamaha DVD S1800 that plays CD, Mch SACD, Mch DVD-a. Have only played it as stereo. Secondary video game system has Mch receiver. Thinking about hooking up and trying some SACD/DVD-a Mch sound. Don't have great hope for this experiment for many reasons. Equipment isn't good enough for one.
