Haydn piano sonatas
Try the Naxos recordings of Jeno Jando. Excellent discs, as usual, from the low-priced Naxos label, and great performance of the sonatas. -
Stereo sound for one ear
I am helping a hallmate of mine find a headphone, but he's hard of hearing on the left side. We're interested in a headphone experience that will provide a stereo sound for one ear. A conversion of the sound from stereo to mono would accomplish this, but a balance dial would not, because that...- Cap'n Dan

What to use to remove glue
Try Chapstick/Blistex or Vaseline or another petroleum-based cream. It will be a solvent for the adhesive. Might not work with super-powerful adhesives, but probably would with normal tapes.- Cap'n Dan

small ears
Same here. Headphones that are supposed to be supra-aural wind up going completely around me ears! My ears don't seem get sore anymore with my SR-225s, but they did in the beginning.

RANT: Who the Hell is Everyone on the Phone with?
Yep. It's pretty hilarious. You know what's great: I can identify on the road what a "telephone turn" is... indicated by some slow, or badly aimed, or jerky turn. I say "Oh, that's gotta be a telephone"... and then the person drives by, and yep... he or she is on the phone. Gotta love it.- Cap'n Dan
