For those who miss Geoff

Tweaking Your Speaker Placement
An 1/8 of an inch -- does that mean you have to keep your head in a vice? Such precise placement of loudspeaker and listener should not effect tonality or dynamics, but it might provide some soundstage/imaging info on some specific recordings.  P...

Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting?
You can calculate the speed of light to a good degree of accuracy using a microwave and a few mini marshmallows.  
Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting?

Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
If you've been trying for 30 years and you just don't get, then why keep trying.  It's not like anything going to change.  
It Was Twenty Years Ago Today!
One of the reasons I started this thread was because I am incredibly jealous of some of the concert that some people have attended.  But then again, someone had to have seen The Police at CBGBs.  I admire the efforts some have made to remember the...
