NAD Phono Preamp Revives Turntables
Post Chronicle
I’ve heard it over and over especially with older CD’s that compared to their vinyl versions sound thin or muddy or compressed. Maybe it’s because computers have no soul but a good vinyl record can have a kind of warm presence that digital formats may not. I thought for a long time that the die hard analog apologists were just fuddy-duddies but either my ears have grown more discerning over the years or I’ve become just another fuddy-duddy. Whatever the reason I do love a good record. Listening to my old platters again has been a marvelous experience and playing them back on a high quality modern audio system like my Rotel stuff really brings them to life. Sometimes I hear nuance never heard before on an album I played hundreds of times decades ago. Well the albums that aren’t so well-used you can see through the grooves?I had almost forgotten that particular disadvantage of vinyl: it deteriorates with playing as tiny amounts of the evil oil product from which they’re made are scraped away by the turntable’s stylus.
Disneyland a magical kingdom even for grown-ups
San Jose Mercury News
We can have a great time all by ourselves experiencing enough of the breathless magic seemingly designed for the young with a nice balance of activities geared more for “adults. ” In the end though you find yourself missing the kids more often than not. And after the fuss they made when we got home it’s pretty obvious we won’t get away with leaving them behind any time soon. Reach Chuck Barney at. com and Tony Hicks at.
College students hit home run with Red Card Royale
Alton Telegraph
Carson Ritz plays keyboard and vocals; Drew Dillman is on drums both from Cincinnati and Jason Rich of Kansas City Mo. is on bass guitar all three graduating this month. The four came up with the band’s name by combining baseball mascots from their respective home teams – St. Louis Cardinals Cincinnati Reds and Kansas City Royals. The four students all had some interest and experience in music. They soon began making plans for a group and by their junior year the band was rocking and rolling. Gable and Ritz wrote original material and RCR developed a repertoire of covers for the band to draw the audience in with familiar songs.

At RealDVD hearing MPAA says copying DVDs never legal
CNET News
CDs and other audio formats were not designed to be copy proof. By the MPAA’s interpretation you can not copy a DVD without a license from them even if you own all rights to the video. They would say you are in violation if you make a copy of your own home movie if it is from a DVD. I think the MPAA has been sniffing glue.
