Eliminate the Crap!

When I mentioned it in our <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/he2007/">Home Entertainment Show Report</a>, I told readers that <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/he2007/051407imod/">Red Wine Audio's iMod</a> was only available to 4th Generation iPods.

Mo' budget queries (empirically informed)- Speakers.

Great New CD: Pilgrimage by Michael Brecker

Forums

Although this CD was reviewed in the last issue of Stereophile I just wanted to add my thoughts. Mr. Brecker passed away from cancer earlier this year and was a very gifted sax player. This new CD, which was released yesterday, is a great piece of music with a support cast that includes Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Jack DeJohnette and John Patitucci. Although at times the CD can sound a little heavy on the high end it is a wonderful tribute to one of the all time greata sax players. Little by little we seem to be losing the great artists that make hi fi worth listening to.
