    The Language Thing

    I'm confused that some posters here think I've got an axe to grind or that I have a political agenda. I don't. Be that as it may, some of you have made statements which I find to be in some way illogical. Take this one from Redwood: "People who do not understand any English would probably...

    The Language Thing

    I'll be off then. The decision to enforce English here (and it will be enforced, right Jude?) is tantamount to excluding those members of the global community who, probably through no fault of their own, do not speak English. I will not support any community that actively seeks to prevent some...

    The Language Thing

    When my kinsfolk - the Welsh - were struggling under the yoke of the English, the kids were all forced to learn English (as a foreign language) at school. These days, the kids mostly speak English as a first language, and getting them to learn Welsh again after all this time is proving to be...

    Are you a freak about your CDs? ;)

    I'm not so bothered about CD inserts, but I do wear cotton gloves when assembling jigsaw puzzles. Really, I do.

    STAX SRM-717 vs. SRM-007t?

    My SRM-007t still has the stock tubes fitted. I couldn't tell you what they are, but I can say they don't hiss.

    Help!!! Advice on a high-end system

    A lot of people say that the differences between the Sennheiser Orpheus and the Stax Omega II come down to a matter of personal preference, and that the main reason why the Orpheus costs as much as it does is because Sennheiser are trying to recover their development costs (or so I heard). I've...

    Can Power cable really improve the sound?

    What difference, if any, a power cable would make I cannot say. I do know, though, that the power I'm getting from my PS Audio P300 Power Plant allows my rig to sound significantly better than any night-time listening experience I've ever had. If you're one of those listeners for whom late-night...
