Bowie is Gone...
Most artists are lucky to have one masterpiece in their career, but Bowie had several. A HUGE light has gone out. 
When is your Hifi good enough?
It depends entirely on the individual. Some people are always on the "hunt," while others find a comfortable patch of audio goodness and stake their claim there for the long haul. I used to belong to the former camp, but for the last five years or... 
Plethora of Schumann Resonance Devices
The Atmosphere is an interesting idea, but too costly for my blood. I know two people who've tried it. One returned it, and the other kept and really likes it, so who knows. Maybe I'll give the 30-day audition a try in the next several months.

Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced
Though they've gotten several reviews in the last few years, I second Coda. They make really amazing stuff. No fancy bells and whistles--just clean, solid, no-nonsense engineering with terrific parts that work well together. I've owned several Cod...
