Where the Devil is the Music Store?

Seldom does a week pass when I don't buy at least one recording - mostly vinyl, but CD's sometimes. On the other hand, it has been a long time since I bought one in a bricks and mortar store. What is the internet for but to keep me in music?

Yesterday I had the misfortune of needing to kill about two hours in the neighborhood of a large shopping mall about thirty miles from my home and about 15 miles from downtown Chicago (Oakbrook, Jim). Go buy some music, I thought. Browse the bins. Do it the old way, it'll be fun.

Central Texas Grooves

Hey guys,

It has been a while since I posted, I have been super busy, I hope everyone has been doing well. I have been finishing up my masters report and of course buying lots of records. Throughout my search for more and more records I started wondering how many record shops there are in Central Texas (where I live), so I decided to make a website documenting them all. So here is what I have so far, if you all can think of anymore just let me know:

ICEpower amps review ?

Forums

After reading several rave reviews of the Jeff Rowland Concerto Integrated and one also rave review of the Bel Canto REF1000 in respectable French audio magazines, I'd love to see a review of these amps in Stereophile. A comparative review would be especially worthwhile as these amps (as well as some smaller Bel Canto models) are built on B&O's ICEpower digital switching technology. It is striking that the JR Concerto has been described as "analog-like" or "tube-like" while being much more powerful than any tube amp.
