Between iTunes and a Firewire hard drive at work, a ReQuest Fusion 250 music server at home and an iPod for the car, gym and airplane I learned quickly that I could have massive amounts of music at my finger-tips nearly everywhere I go. The question is am I any better off for it. Just having a massive collection of music on a storage device doesn¹t mean that you are headed directly to musical heavennder their own name thus will focus their design energy toward video advances for Meridian products.

Unlike huge faceless corporations, Sunfire is the unique, personal vision of one audio genius, Bob Carver. Most audio geniuses would be content to have founded just two landmark audio companies. But after creating Phase Linear and Carver Corporation, Bob still had more innovative technology in his system. He wanted to express these ideas in meticulously-built, premium audio products that would offer exceptional value and sound quality. And that¹s what you get when you buy Sunfire. A great product from the mind and soul of Bob Carver.

Why? At that hour, the local power utility is delivering its cleanest, most accurate power. At midnight, the current flows and system dynamics can be reached that at other hours of the day are impossible. Until now. PurePower is the first and only power conditioner in the world that takes the inbound AC power from the utility, converts it to DC, then back to perfect voltage sinewave with no noise, distortion, spikes, or sags, even if the inbound voltage is ZERO. Its built-in batteries protect and isolate your system from the local utility in a way that no other conditioner can, giving you that "midnight" sound quality every time you listen, regardless of the time of day.

But a funny thing happened on the way to Top of the Pops. This boy did indeed cry (a lot!), and his tear-soaked feelings went on to drench much of the sobering and sobbing emotions that informed the trilogy of Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography. Obviously, there was more heaviness on Smith¹s heart than any three-minute 45 RPM could ever reveal or contain. So Smith popped pop's bubble and opted, instead, to help spearhead whether intentionally or not the whole Gothic rock movement of the '80s. Rhino Records has just re-released these three pivotal CDs, and each package contains an extra disc filled with bonus cuts. If you're on a low budget, and forced to choose just one of these sets, Faith is easily the most essential pick of the litter. The shockingly titled Pornography, however, is a close second. These two releases surely inspired a million teens to blow their allowances on dark eye makeup and clothing,...
