The Sultan's Elephant

The Sultan's Elephant

Again from Jeff Wong&mdash;he's such a nice boy, I may take the day off and let him guest blog. This video clip shows the girl giant waking up, taking a shower from the sultan's elephant, and wandering off in St. James Park to play. It's from a site specific art work by Royal de Luxe (story <A HREF="http://www.thesultanselephant.com/">here</A&gt;) and I think it's magical. The girl giant's face is wonderfully expressive.

Answer: You have to "attend" to an object for it to actually register. Jeff Wong sends along a couple of links on "change blindness." Click on the external link for the article and then click <A HREF="http://www.psych.ubc.ca/~rensink/flicker/download/index.html">here</A&gt; for the examples.

Optimus cd-3400

Hi, I have a question regarding the little Optimus cd-3400. It was a portable cd player from Radio Shack of all places that got amazing reviews here at Stereophile. My question is, does anyone know if its follow-up, the Optimus cd-3640, also sounded amazing or was this a one-time only thing?
Thanks,

Needing a chemistry lesson. What's 25K gold?

Aloha,

Been reading through the July issue and came across Mike Fremer's mention of 25K gold coils on the Clearaudio cartridge.

Is that, like, similar to "Six 9's" copper or something?

I always thought 24K was "pure," so when did the upgrade package take effect?

*Hoping that this is not some new Hi-Fi designation, otherwise we will soon have 27K Machina Dynamica gold.

Not so long ago we had the pleasure of auditionning Mr. JR Orion system from LinkwitzLab, a 3 way active system with each of it's 8 speakers individualy driven by its own amplifier channel in an open baffle configuration in his listening environment.

The least that can be said about this experience is that the system represents in many ways the ''Holy Graal'' in sound reproduction for many audiophiles.
