Karl Winkler 05/06/13 06:11 PM,When I was a budding sound engineer with the U.S. Air Force Band during the 1990s, one of my mentors was a consultant in the Washington, D.C. area named George Weber. George was a somewhat eccentric guy and definitely a dyed-in-the-wool audiophile. He had done some modifications to the band’s K&H studio loudspeakers, and those things did sound amazingly good. George once invited me to his home and played some record albums on his super-high-end stereo system. The turntable alone… View this story

John Mayberry 09/11/12 10:33 AM,One of life’s more interesting mysteries is how sound ends up as an electrical signal in the brain. Some quality research on the subject has been performed over the last several years, and it’s a bit less of a mystery than before. The central issue is what’s called the “moment of truth” reaction, the actual point in where mechanical turns into electrical energy, much the same how those magnets and coils do the same within our microphones, our own moment… View this story
