    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...

    Where do you shop for blank media?

    There's a nice rebate on a TDK 50-pack of CD-R from Staples (ending August 2)... it winds up to be less than 3 dollars.

    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.

    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. I'm not sure what I want to do about pads. I like the sound, so I'm reluctant to change it. Perhaps having my...

    Did you tape it in the hole, or just around it like a bumper?

    Eliminating Grado Cord Noise

    Yeah, I noticed that. Doesn't bother me too much because my head's pretty still, usually, but I do hear it sometimes. I'd be reluctant to wrap duct tape around it ...but maybe some "milder" tape would work? They designed it like that because it's much stronger than mounting it in the...

    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.
