Has anyone experianced Synesthesia?
I think I may have experienced it once, when a youngster at school. Someone had thrown an apple at me and I put up my foot to block it and with the aid of adrenalin, everything went into super slow motion and there were ripples emanating from my f...

Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
What Mapman says is true. Stores used to supply with all manner of CDs. Some even had listening facilities. Then, POOF! it all went away, didn't it?Appearances are deceiving but Amazon and sites that are dedicated to niche tastes are out there and... 
The Lawyers Have Taken Over Audio

Anti-Vibration pads: which component most?
This type of pad is offered by various retailers and the price varies quite a bit. I believe they get them from this manufacturer: http://www.supersoundproofingsales.com/products.asp?dept=25For the price, you can't go wrong when experimenting.All ... 
Massed strings and large choral groups
I can't say, one way or the other, if large choral groups are harder to record than other types but when I hear a really good one, it grabs my attention and refuses to let go. There's something inherently right when one hears well recorded human v... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
I sorely resisted copying and pasting some relevant points on solar flares and what they can do if big enough and Chadeffect pretty much summed it up: anything large enough to affect our PC sound sources will pretty much fry everything else, so li...
