The Entry Level
Submitted by scleary20 on

I just noticed that Steinway, of piano manufacturing fame, is making really high end speakers under the name Steinway Lyngdorf. The press release stated that they released their first commercial products in febraury of this year. i was just curious as to if anyone has seen any of the reviews on these speakers, or have heard them. while they are totally out of my price range, i thought it was interesting that the manufacturers of such great piano design have entered the wonderful world of loudspeakers. just thought it to be an interesting thing to bring up.

Tweaks 'n' Tips

My stereo system (Music Hall 25.2CD/Creek Destiny integrated) currently sits within a 26" x 26" space in our built-in bookcase. Right now, my components are stacked on top of each other, with the cable DVR on top due to the large amount of heat it produces. This is certainly not optimum from many standpoints, not least of which is that the components do not have any "breathing room" and the Destiny in particular gets hotter than I like.

I would like to get better input than is available from the headphone jacks common to some cd players and intergated amps without buying an expensive headphone amp. Is there a safe way to connect the output of a cd player or the pre outs of my amp to headphones? I remmeber that transformers were once used to connect an amp's speaker output terminals to headphones, but this method is no longer in use.

Welcome to the wonderful world of firmware and software updates. With almost every audio device now microprocessor-controlled, and the tasks to be performed increasingly complex, it's not surprising that "finished" products leave the factory only to be stymied by reasonable but unpredicted user practices. It's not that we're all becoming beta testers, but we are contributing to the intelligent evolution of product capabilities.

Zappa Returns! Wazoo

Zappa Returns! Wazoo

Frank Zappa was well known for a lot of things—his sharp satiric wit, his virtuoso guitar improvisations, his excellence as a bandleader, his fearlessness in combating hostile political forces and crooked record-industry executives. But Zappa is all too rarely given credit for his status as one of the most creative musical imaginations of the 20th century, regardless of genre.
