Attention Screen at YASI
And on Saturday, April 24th, Attention Screen performed at Yamaha’s Artist Services concert hall. The performance was recorded by John Atkinson for a future Stereophile CD, the band’s third, scheduled to be released at the 2010 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in October. It was an excellent night of music. Check out the images in our">http://forum.stereophile.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/2232/size/bi… Gallery.
Audacious Audio
The e-mail popped in at around 4pm last Friday afternoon.
Audio for the Right Minded Listener
While doing some research for our November issue, I found myself clicking around the Bel Canto site, and guess what I discovered:
Audio on the Web
There are very many high-end audio websites out there. I know this because I've spent all day working on our "Audio Manufacturers on the Web" directory, which may be published in our 2007 Buyer's Guide.
AUDIO VERITY
If you can find some of the oldest issues of Stereophile, you'll see that several of the covers hold a short, sweet, often humorous "AUDIO VERITY." These nuggets of hi-fi wisdom were written by Stereophile founder, J. Gordon Holt.
Audiophile Essentials

It’s tough being an audiophile. Tell someone you like high-quality sound and they might look at you like you’re an alien. We forget that hi-fi used to be the coolest endeavor in town. Look at black-and-white advertisements from decades ago and you’ll see handsome men, surrounded by enormous loudspeakers, massive tube amplifiers, LPs tossed about like useless clothes and knotted bed sheets, gorgeous women wanting and waiting for more. But, somehow, over time and with changes to our priorities and lifestyles, the idea of listening to music on the hi-fi has gone from sexy to sexless—a hobby limited to the soft and balding, the smelly and unkempt, the hopelessly lonesome and woefully inept. Plus: For most people, “audiophile” is just way too close to “pedophile.”
What’s a guy to do?
