2013′s Oscar Winners for Sound
Last week’s Oscars had very few surprises. For fans of the awards show, it is likely that almost every award handed out was a forgone conclusion. For others though, the technical awards offered a few surprises and a much deserved award for an innovative sounding film. Les Misérables’ win in the sound mixing category was [...]
Latest Accessories In ipads and iphones
By now it’s almost a given that you own at least one handheld Apple device; whether it be an ipod mini, a nano, an iphone or ipad. Or: all three. Today’s modern world has been taken over by the mind-numbingly productive folks at Apple headquarters; they put out a new product more often than most [...]
Using Your Ipad/Ipod To Create an Entire Home Audio System
These days there’s hardly a person left whose home has not been invaded by the fine (and prolific) folks at Apple. Ipods and Ipads are practically de rigour in today’s electronically run world. I’m sure this has loads to do with the fact that there is practically nothing left that cannot be accomplished with an [...]
Classic Rock on Home Audio Speakers
Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards are some of the most important people in the history of music. They’re all easing into their 70s, which makes me wonder how much longer they have left. These guys didn’t exactly take it easy in their youth. Will they see their 80s? They do have [...]

Playing On a Home Audio System That Makes Me Feel…
The power of music to influence my mood is drastic. A new album came out. It is beautiful — haunting, sincere, melodic, relatable, unique. And before I listened to it I was unaware of how people live their lives to create music like that. But now I know. They live with passion, they live for [...]
Bach on Home Audio System
Whenever I hear Bach’s Fourth Brandenburg Concerto, I am taken to a childhood moment when the home audio equipment was turned loud and the late fall sun shone through the window illumining our wood floors and the carpet upon which I sat; and with every crescendo, I remember my youthful innocence, and the divine melody [...]
Home Audio Equipment Has Evolved
When I was eight, I sold my albums and my dad told me that I shouldn’t have done that. I felt regret — I had lost that music forever, and it wasn’t even worth the forty-eight dollars. But, today it’s all different. Most people don’t listen to CDs on their home audio systems any more. [...]
So Much to Listen to On Home Audio Speakers
Many lament that in our internet age we’re bombarded with so many different forms of media that it’s hard to tell which matter. I would argue just the opposite. Because the internet has opened up so many possibilities, it’s easy for people with specific interests to find exactly what they want, which makes it almost [...]
