S + K + A = "E"

Aloha!

Feelin' chatty today.

Last Friday night went with Big Mike, Mrs. Big Mike, and another friend to see English Beat at the House of Blues.

I'm a bit of an "audience aficionado," and this crowd was as friendly as an ecstasy crowd.

Ecstasy crowds tend to be friendly, talkative, accommodating, and polite. When you try carrying a couple of drinks through an "E" crowd, people actually try to help make room and say nice things, like "Cool show," or "How ya doing?"

This one is a XRCD2 by CNA Music and it has something to do with Clearaudio,probably made FOR clearaudio.The recording is quite good although i never stoped thinking it was made to impress rather than natural sounding.The music,well,i quess it might sound good for people who never heard certain songs before but personally i did not like it. Why?
Can you imagine anyone else than Barry Gibb singing "How deep is your love" or anyone else than Eva Cassidy snging "Ain't no sunshine" or "Time after time" ? I hear you saying "If it is good..." That is the problem,it is not that good !

Mass Loading

In the current April 2007 issue, MF reviews the Kuzma Stabi XL and makes the remark, " ... there's no mistaking a proper mass loaded design ... " Can someone explain just what a proper mass loaded table design is? Obviously a high amount of mass (and density) is involved, but what constitutes proper and improper mass loading? Can mass loading be applied primarily in the support stand? If so, is there an advantage to using a mass loaded or non-suspended table on such a support system or can a suspended table still work "properly" on such a support?

And Stereophile, Takeout Menus, Acres of Porn

Check one and two, but you won't find any of three in my apartment. Unless, of course, you count <i>Story of O</i>&#151and you <i>might</i>. I like to think of it, however, as erotica. Then there's <i>The Forty-Eight Ways</i>. Is that porn? Nah, it's more of a manual. Takeout menus are few, and include: Wild Fusion (their green curry is delightful); Frank's Pizzeria (a large regular costs five bucks!); and La Conguita (their <i>pernil asado</i> reminds me of my grandma's). I don't keep a very large collection of <i>Stereophile</i> back issues at home, but I do have a few special issues on the bookshelf in my living room.
