Krazy Kat, Ignatz Mouse, and Offissa Pup are an eternal triangle. Yes, the comic strip, the language, and the whole situation defy explanation or logic, but once you fall under its spell, you'll find yourself enchanted and intoxicated. Sarah Boxer explains all—sort of.

Hi, new to Stereophile. I have a limited budget and am slowly building a system. Considering a first upgrade to be using my Marantz DV6500 as a transport and running it to a higher quality DAC. I'm sold on SACD so here are my two questions: 1)is a special DAC required to convert DSD? 2) which DACs do you recommend for orchestral / female vocals

System: Vandersteen 2CE, Marantz DV6500, Marantz SR5500, Transparent Music Wave BiWire, Transparent The Link 100 Interconnect

4 ohm speakers

I am considering buying a pair of Totem Rainmakers. My only reservation is that they are rated at 4 ohms. My Jeff Rowland Concentra Integrated Amp is rated at 100 watts @ 8 ohms and 250 watts @ 4 ohms. Does this mean that driving a 4 ohms speaker is easier than 8 ohms? (Will I get more power out of my Jeff Rowland?) A dealer told me over the phone that there is no advantage in driving a 4 ohm speaker. Will someone please clarify this for me. Thanks.

The Fifth Element #42 Contacts

The recording project I've mentioned before in this column, that of documenting the historical and significant pipe organs of Rhode Island, is finally (!) in the can. (Except that today, of course, we no longer use cans. Or tape, for that matter.) It has been a learning and growing experience for us all&mdash;more than a dozen remote-location recording dates, spread over eight months.
