Isotek Versus

I just read a review in Stereophile. They highly recommend a new power cleaner upper for you. The Everest conditioner by Shunyata runs just $8000. The power cord that connects it to the wall is a paltry $3250. Power cords to connect your source, to your preamp and power amp are almost throw ins at $2000 each = $6k. All in with…

Chopin: Brevity Is Beautiful

Nobody says more, in less time, than Chopin. Nobody understood the piano better. Nobody is a better architect of music for this magnificent instrument, which provides a full orchestra of colors. Chopin has dozens of pieces that are short, yet they’re fully formed and mature. As I learned to play several of these through the tutelage of my eminently patient teacher, Marlene…
