Cold Weather & USB Phono Preamps

Alright, it's cold now. Mr">http://wcbsfm.com/WCBS-FM-Airstaff---Mr--G/2073164">Mr. G says the mercury will only creep up to around the 38- or 39-degree mark today. I guess it's to be expected. We are deep into November. New York City in the cold, with all of the wreaths and lights and scarves and frigid breath, is beautiful. For a moment or two, that is, until I remember how much I hate this weather. It's funny, too, how I forget how unbearable it can be in my">http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/102606window/">my apartment this time of year. I don't know how I've lived through the last three winters in that old, drafty shack.


Grails: Doomsdayer's Holiday

It's Friday evening. I would like to be at home, sitting on the orange couch, a beer in my hand, the light rain tapping against my windows, listening to Grails' Doomsdayer's Holiday. Sounds bleak, doesn't it? But Grails are really kind of perfect for this sort of warm, rainy autumn night, with their dark mix of Eastern psychedelia, folk, metal, and free-jazz ramblings. Beautifully recorded, too, with heart-jolting impact and sweet, sweet dynamic range.
