The Nerve!

The Nerve!

<I>(This article has been edited to reflect factual changes and comments from our learned colleague, Dr. Kalman Rubinson, Associate Professor at NYU's Department of Physiology and Neuroscience, who is careful to point out that he is commenting, not on the research, which he has not read, but only Heimburg's and Jackson's criticisms of current understanding and terminology&mdash;areas with which he has more than a passing acquaintance.)</I>

why do so many

I stumbled upon this while reading PF and I couldn't help but compare this to the great religeous schism,that broke apart the Roman Catholic Church.Looking at it this way,anyone who even remotely adheres to any of Belt's philosophy is fair game to be burned at the stake by those of the one true faith,let's call them the scientists for want of better terminology.But aren't scientists supposed to have inquiring minds that are open to new discoveries?

Quality media storage

I couldn't think of a better place to post this considering my question concerns storage of digital media...

Earlier today, when dusting and cleaning the area around my stereo setup, a mini-disaster occurred... when attemping to move the relatively cheap CD bookshelf I own, filled with several hundred discs, the screws and wooden pegs that held the sides to the top shelf came apart, leaving the majority of my collection on the floor.

The Return of Orion Classics

The Return of Orion Classics

<A HREF="http://www.marquisclassics.com">Marquis Classics</A>, a Toronto-based CD label specializing in classical, jazz, world, and crossover recordings, recently issued its second batch of "<A HREF="http://www.marquisclassics.com/orion.html">Orion Master Recordings</A>."

Milwaukee Sym Downloads

I went to the Dark Side today off the "Phile" news page and downloaded MSO Saint Sans Symphony #3. 80+ megs in about 8 minutes for all of $5.99. It would have cost me more than that to drive to my nearest outlet...and if they had it, paid even more.

The Binaural sound is excellent. Even as I listen through my $80 Firewire Behringer FCA 202 I cannot complain about the fidelity...I have symphonic CDs that sound worse for sure.

Viewing it on my waveform editors in Sony SoundForge or WavePad it is nice to see the dynamic range left intact.

JBL in TAS "Best of Show"

Forums

Looks like soem "PA" speakers did a great job at the show....TAS dude thinks it possibly best of show, pretty cool for the PA speaker company, dontcha think. So much for teh myths that somehow a PA speaker which this ain't is something less of a speaker. The fact that they can handle extreme sound levels, poor enviroments, mean they are well made, not just dressed up fancy cabinets tot add useless frills. DD66000 from JBL..... So many pro brands that are ignored for using in home.
