costs how much. The wiring inside point-point stuff looks like he took a Dyna St-70 Or PAS-3 pre amp and reboxed it. How is using old obsolete parts worthy of such a price? He has 15W amplifiers for almost $3900? Come on 15W? The BLSOE units have more than that, of course this is $3900 15 W, not $300 watts, still worthless ain't it? Tube rectifers in the power supply...you gots to be kidding. Stereophile keeps mentioning how limited space is, why do they waste space on this usless, copy of a Dyna PAS3 it looks like unit, who decided on this price?

VTL

Why is Singer advertising VTL right IN the VTL review!!!??? I thought there where some kind of rules at teh magazine about ads during a review? Last month same routine, advertising teh thing under review...what's up with dat?

MF and the Dartzeel

Of ocurse it sounds better than the current thing he has, when doesn't it? BUT, he also mentions the use of high CURRENT high power amps...Gee, when I say watts matter, I is crucified.....and he drives large speakers, what a concept!!! The ones under review this issue at teh asking price are a joke, unheard, with such miniscule drivers, at the price, gotta be a joke..hardly capable of lifelike sound.MF also says a $23K pre amp should do everything, weeeeelllll, a $100K should have a pre map in it already no?

The Boy Who Cried Freebird

Mitch Myers' book, <I>The Boy Who Cried Freebird:
Rock and Roll Fables and Sonic Storytelling</I>, is a lovely thing. He mixes essays, short stories, tall tales, and interviews about rock to get to the core of what it is to be a music geek. "Don't compare me to that guy in <I>High Fidelity</I>," he says. "That dude wasted all his time organizing his collection in some kind of chronological order—everybody knows that you should file your albums by genre."
