I got a new pair of Pinnacle Black Diamond BD-1000 speakers. I don't know much about these speakers, but they were free so I figured they'd make a good replacement for my Infinity OVTR3 speakers that have 50% cracked and busted speaker cones. I was right, the BD-1000's do sound a lot better than my busted Infinity speakers.

I hadn't seen this discussed, and since it seems to be a clich

Once in awhile I go to www.cdjapan to purchase some high quality Japanese CD's at a better price than on Amazon. Recently I have been seeing this:

Reissue features the high-fidelity SHM-CD format (compatible with standard CD players).

Having failed to get the Australian VPI importer to answer any of my emails about a replacement I emailed VPI in the US. I received an immediate answer with the offer to mail me a new belt free of charge.

As a young composer with a dream of getting into film scoring I spend a lot of time listening to movie soundtracks.

There is one thing that really bothers me about scores though... After listening to the Soundtrack I have such a strong urge to watch the movie. Its like I can't even control it.
