Cool Widget!

Here's something cool for users of the Mac Tiger OS. The "ontour" widget bumps the artists in your iTunes library against a listing of concerts in your local area. It works great. I knew Bob Dylan was in town but I didn't know that personal faves Bill Frisell, The Klezmatics, and Pere Ubu all have upcoming dates in NYC.

This is something even Ken Kessler could appreciate. Or not.

He hates being this close to so many people. "I hate being this close to so many people." He prefers loudspeakers. "I prefer loudspeakers." He thinks to himself as he suffers the hot and crowded PATH train morning, clinging to a large box marked "Arro." Arro. He reads over the short man's shoulder:

As I have said many times, we send out preprints of our reviews as a courtesy to manufacturers, who are strictly warned against publicizing any part of the review ahead of publication.

Hi all,

I have a Marantz DV9500 universal player, and plan to send it off to a mod shop to conduct the usual "wring the most out of it" drill.

Superclocks and silver solder abound... what is a worthwhile investment?

Any suggestions on a reliable place to send it, and any subsequent good results, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Submitted by bwright on

I am brand spanking new to IPod audio... all due apologies in advance.

Anyone have ideas on the best connectivity & setup options to plug my IPod into my integrated amp (suggestions, links, articles, etc.)?

I also have a huge song collection on my Mac desktop - I figured you all would know the best approach.

System basics:

Marantz DV9500 universal player
Dali Helicon 400 speakers
Cayin A-88T integrated tube amplifier

Many thanks!

Bill

I wonder what Bill Gates listens to

Lets face it, anything you could name in Audio is just "pocket change" for him. At one time I know that he drove a 1967 Corvette so he does have good taste in classic Corvettes. Inquiring minds want to know, what does the richest man on the planet listen to? Could it be that he is a closet Ipod Junkie?

How about it John? What say if Stereophile does a Profile of Bill Gates and what he listens to?
