Tuning Up Your System
Sure, a new amp or speakers would rejuvenate your music system. Here are some improvements to try first.
FEATURES
The Plot to Kill Hi-Fi
by Gerard Rejskind
This article from over a decade ago was to become UHF’s most famous ever. It turns out to be as pertinent as ever. We've barelyt changed a word.
Shows 2005
What’s new in this season of shows.
THE LISTENING ROOM
Audio Reference Model Two
A large Canadian floorstanding speaker that comes in two parts.
Connoisseur SE-2 Updated
We thought this single-ended tube amp sounded nice when we tried it in issue No. 68. Now it sounds even better.
Actinote Audio Cables
We got a whole big box of these enigmatic Belgian cables. You know what? We’re going to keep one of them.
Our Linn LP12
When one of our two reference turntables died, we turned to a known quantity. Conclusion: did we ever make the right choice!
Rolling Your Own CDs
We plug in one of Digidesign’s nice outboard converter boxes, and we make some recordings with software on our Mac and PC, including one program with a price tag of…$0! Here’s a guide for doing the same thing.
CEC DA53 Converter
This nice little DAC is affordable and it sounds pretty good. But if you own an iPod or you keep music on hard disc, it has a surprise for you!
Gershman Acoustic Panels
We’ve had these panels around for a while. A listening test confirms they’re just what we’ve been looking for.
CINEMA
The Battle for the Next DVD
It’s Blu-Ray versus DVD-HD, versus… Question: have we seen this movie before?
SOFTWARE
Music and the Mind
by Reine Lessard
Is music universal? It seems to be, and there may be good reasons for it. We look for clues in history and deep inside the brain.
