*The lack of a video component to traditional audiophile music ignores the 3,000,000 HDTV sets sold every month as the heart and soul of mainstream user's AV systems.* Blame Beethoven! Blame Bruckner! Which reminds me of a surely apocryphal story... Bruckner (the "Wagnerian symphonist") was sitting in a box at the Imperial Opera Theatre for a presentation of Goetterdaemmerung. He always listened with his eyes closed, but when quite a commotion arose on stage towards the end -- funeral pyre, fire, horses -- he opened them, surveyed the scene, turned to his companion and asked, "Warum brennt Bruennhilde?" (Why are they burning Bruennhilde?) c On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 10:00 PM, Tom Fine <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > > http://blog.cleveland.com/business/2009/02/telarc_international_will_cut.html > > and > > http://tinyurl.com/alumal > > this has been swirling around for a few months but now it's official. > > -- Tom Fine >
