Drum me out of the High End if you must, but I have a shameful confession to make: <I>I love headphones</I>. I know, I know, I'm supposed to preface my comment with a lofty disclaimer, such as, "Of course, given my refined sensibilities, <I>I</I> could never derive satisfaction from such a compromised listening apparatus, but many of <I>you</I> seem to enjoy them." Well, pardon me for saying so, but <I>pfffftttt!</I>

There seems to be a fairly common evolution among audiophiles: First, they notice that there is better sound available than they have ever experienced before, so they buy (we hope!) better-sounding equipment&mdash;but sooner or later, upgrading becomes terrifically expensive, while the urge to improve the system remains constant.

But change the name of the companies involved and I heard every one of the claims in "The Top 10 Lies of Entrepreneurs" uttered at one point or another this past week.

Most readers of <I>Stereophile</I> are in it to read about great products&mdash;things that make the hobby and art of home sound reproduction exciting. In this respect, reviewers aren't too different&mdash;we love sound reproduction and music in general, and products that help bring this to life are the cat's meow. Reviewers that can't respond with this kind of excitement don't have a place writing for this magazine.

Hah&mdash;I'd like to see the program, that could figure <I>me</I> out!

I just solved your unsolvable math problem.

World's longest concert sounds second chord after one-and-a-half years. It's A, C, and F#&mdash;gonna take a while to resolve <I>that</I> one.
