Meridian Acquires Sooloos

Meridian Acquires Sooloos

Dec 05, 2008

Meridian Audio Ltd. announced at 4pm December 5 that it had acquired media server manufacturer Sooloos LLC. "Basically, it comes from [Meridian founder] Bob Stuart's appreciation of great industrial design and innovative technologies," said Meridian's Chief Marketing Officer Graeme Taylor. "That combination is what Meridian has always attempted to offer and when Bob saw Sooloos' products, he realized that Peter Wellikoff [COO], Enno Vandermeer [CEO], and Danny Dulai [CTO] shared those values. Over time, it became obvious that, between what we shared and what we each could offer each other, the acquisition made tremendous sense."

Live imaging

Someone (Elk?) mentioned not getting "imaging" in a live performance like one can in some stereo recordings. I was going to agree but I came home tonight from listening to a live Balinese gamelan performance. It was all acoustic - no amplification - and involved 16-17 musicians (not counting the dancers). Loud as hell! The musicians were spread across about 30 feet of stage. I was in row F, maybe 30 feet from stage. I admit that usually when I hear all acoustic music, it is usually a solo performer or small group (rarely orchestras).

The New York Times is a piece of shit no different than daytime talk radio. I wish they would pass a so-called Fairness act so they will have to shut everybody up including that waste of money called NPR. Be careful what we wish oh cult of personality. Idiots. Meet the new boss same as the old boss.

Because You Asked, or: Stop

Dec 04, 2008

In a way, I started writing <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/the_dresses_the_shoes_and_the… Ryan Adams piece</a> at the moment I dropped the needle on the record&#151around two, or maybe closer to <i>three</i> weeks ago now. Words, however, weren't typed onto this computer screen until last Monday. Normally, I don't spend so much time on a blog entry. For better or worse, these entries usually end on the day they begin, but other things&#151work, Thanksgiving, life&#151kept getting in the way of my completion of the <i>Cardinology</i> piece. I think I could have finished it all in one day had I had the opportunity, and I also think it could have been a better piece if I had, but I am nevertheless happy with it.
