Fifteen months after moving into a new house it's finally time to remodel my listening room. I've lived with the unfinished pine walls and hideous carpet long enough. I'm sure the previous owner loved the look, but it's not cutting it for me. I'd been researching options to make my listening room more aesthetically pleasing and acoustically acceptable. The first stage of the remodel will be mostly aesthetics with more acoustic considerations coming later this year. Needless to say I was gung-ho about getting the project underway. First the carpet was ripped up and the wood trim torn off the bottom of the walls. A little over one week into the project my listening room is in shambles, I'm listening to headphones only, but at least I'm discovering some great music while the room is out of commission.
The B&W Society of Sound, formerly known as the B&W Music Club, has been very popular with Computer Audiophile readers who've signed up for memberships. I was hooked from the moment I signed up. In fact a rather funny series of posts about the experience can be read here. The forum post details my reluctance to join followed by my exuberance after joining and realizing how special it is. My exact words were, "This really is a complete experience with the video interviews etc... It feels like luxury music purchasing."

The Computer Audiophile Symposium is getting closer and closer every day. The response to the ticket giveaway has been wonderful and I am excited to announce the winner this Sunday. The first session of the Symposium is exactly two weeks from tomorrow. As preparations for the event continue with catering arrangements and studio configuration, I want to let everyone know that tickets will not be available at the door. Some of the event prep requires a little lead time in addition we will not be able to sell tickets at the door while the final event prep is taking place in the hours leading up to each session. I look forward to meeting the Computer Audiophile readers who have already purchased tickets and hope all the readers will have a chance to get to know one another as well.
