		<description><![CDATA[Well, well, well. Audiophile news has all of the sudden risen on the charts of the blog-o-sphere. To what do we owe this honor? Chalk most of it up to the timeless &#8220;Old Man&#8221; &#8211; Neil Young. At a recent News Corp media conference, Young described in some detail about his recent dealings with Apple [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was just reading the latest Science magazine (here) and ran across an article highlighting the work of Patrick Feaster, audio archeologist. This, in turn, led me to the First Sounds website, an outpost for the restoration and preservation of our earliest recorded sounds. It turns out that Cal Berkeley plays a unique role in this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As reported here in the NYT, album sales actually grew &#8211; albeit slightly (1.3%) &#8211; in 2012. Among the good news is that “digital retailers are getting better and better at giving customers what they want” says Nielsen. So much for downloads killing the industry. People love music and will pay for it under reasonable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Note that this ad hoc demonstration does not represent proof, let alone applicability to home playback environments. Also, extensive use of caching in player software would seem to negate this effect in sound systems. However, perhaps this is why some austensibly-sensible audiophiles report better sonics with solid state drives (SSDs)? Thanks to PeterT for pointing [...]]]></description>

But being on top of ringtones? Now that rocks! You may be surprised at the size of this market. Don&#8217;t be. Number of buyers is huge, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BAAS member Vince S. just sent me this very interesting link from Aussie pub Australian Hi-Fi . Just as interesting was that the article written way back in 1999, an era that I would not equate to superlative digital. (Hint: A DVD-V was used as the hires source.) The article presents a balanced case for [...]]]></description>

Well, here&#8217;s another: Audiophile&#8217;s Guide to the Galaxy. This isn&#8217;t a simple &#8220;clipping service&#8221; like Daily Audiophile (also useful). Rather, it&#8217;s an edited compendium of all-things-audiophile. That is, the site creator attempts to add order (and opinion) to the content. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month, the NYT published an interesting article about the way that the brain hears. If we can understand the way the brain hears, we can design better, more realistic, solutions to listen to music. Such is the work of companies like Audyssey, whose work is cited in the article.
