After the driving was complete, Bentley got us an after-hours tour of the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum. Nice place—especially if your taste runs to Venetian Renaissance palazzos filled with fine art. The tour was eye opening and afterwards we retired to the cloisters for adult beverages and a catered affair, complete with chamber music in the courtyard.

Hey everyone. First post here. I'm a college junior, film major and audiophile, who, at the moment, watches a movie a night (rather excitedly) on my somewhat recently purchased Vizio LCD TV. And while watching my movies with new visual swankiness is a great pleasure, I feel deprived aurally.

In the 1970s, a small black-and-white ad sometimes ran in the pages of Playboy magazine. The ad pictured an attractive young woman with lots of disheveled hair and a crooked grin. There was little else to the ad other than the headline, which the reader would assume was being spoken by the model: "It takes more than Martinis to build an image, Mister!"

Hello everyone,

I have found this 6 months used Rega P3-24 with a Elys cartridge at a dealership nearby. He is giving it for $700. Should I grab it? From outside it looks fine. Is there anything I should check to see if the table is in fine shape? Or is it that nothing can go wrong with these and I should go for it. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Which brings me to my latest recommendation: Xiu Xiu's <i>Women As Lovers</i> takes its alluring title from a novel by Austrian author Elfriede Jelinek. The album, Xiu Xiu's sixth full-length, was released much earlier this year, but I only got around to it this weekend, during a trip to <a href="http://www.vvinyl.com/">Vintage Vinyl</a> in good ol' Fords, NJ, along rich and wild Route 1.

Only the left channel until the room warms up - normal?

Hello

Would someone be kind enough to shed some light on why my Classe CA-201 power amp only gives me the left channel when the room it's in is cold? I can't say for sure exactly what the temperature is, but it's cold enough to want to get the heater on asap! Typically this is first thing in the morning.

If I leave the amp on for ~20 minutes and fire up a little fan heater to help bring the room temperature up to something a little more hospitable, I get both channels.
