Hi everyone!
I have a big doubt obout how is the most accurate way to messure a speaker sensibility. what are the differences of using a pure tone and using a pink noise to feed the speaker?

Thanks!

Target is not quite Darwin's waiting room, like WalMartland, but stil...

Anyways...

They had PJ Harvey and John Parish's new disc.

Bonus!

Track one is reminiscent of "Some Of The People In My Life" by Genesis/Phil Collins.

Track two is like "Battle of Evermore" by the Zeppelin named group.

I have an ancient Sony D7 DAT recorder/player. I last used this maybe 10 years ago and have a score of old tapes recorded.

When I put away the tape player, it was clean and operated perfectly. Today I broke it out, plugged in a headphone, powered it up and inserted a tape, pushed play..it read 'load' and then did nothing at all. I also cannot rewind or fast forward the tapes or run a cleaning tape in the unit.

Does anyone remember anything about these things? The owners manual does not say zip about this problem.

In short, it loads fine but does not play at all.

I posted some comments under Stephen Mejias' blog entry regarding the Gizmodo article on Mr. Fremer. Here's the link, as I am concerned that not a whole lot of people will see it

My roommates blew out my B&W DM 302s. Quote the guilty: "We had a party last night and the speakers started to smell and then stopped working." Great. They've agreed to kick me $250, which was the retail price back in '98 when they first came out (I picked them up for $50 from a friend of the family). These were great speakers and I'm sad to see them go, but this unfortunate episode does give me a chance to upgrade (I'm moving to my own place in June so I won't have to worry about my equipment being trashed). I've got a budget of about $400-500.

was a genius.

that is all.

Much more noise. The sort of noises that tells you where the recording was made and who stood where. The good kind of noise.

I added a fourth PS Audio Noise Harvester.

For years I thought no matter what I did to the system and the room I would always ultimately hear the vague outlines of my room imposing itself on the recording. With these in place, my room consistently dispappears and the venue comes forth. Amazing! I've heard numerous AC products and these are IMO special.

Dire Straits; Love Over Gold, Remaster CD

A classic that benefits from the remaster. Like DSOTM a disc you should have at least two copies of and preferrably one vinyl and one CD. $7.99 in the clearance bin at B. Dalton.

Music: 5
Sound: 5

Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown; No Looking Back CD

God! How's he get that band to play like that?! This is tighter than Basie or Ellington. No one swings the blues like Gatemouth. There are time signature changes here that I can't keep up with. Very, very unpredictable and utterly enjoyable!

Hi

Watched Haitink conducting Bruckner 8 yesterday.

I wanted to ask a question that sounds really arrogant and as if i know what im talking about, please forgive me that is not my intent.
