I would be visiting my favourite Classical site every day but recently my broadband provider gave me a massive headache and I have been cutt off for almost a month!!!   Never mind.  I will be back on in about 48 hrs time.  Will be nice to catch up.  Oh...and I come here because Classical Music is written into my bones and it is necessary to eke it out by talking with others about it.  And GMG is BY FAR the best place to do so.   0:)   Se you all again very soon.

Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Well, I do too.  I just wish sometimes I would get the Kruller, every now and then.  :D

Not fair. You live in the land of Tim Horton's, you should BRING the donuts!

Or maybe I should. After all, I'm just a couple hours away from Gourdough's...

They don't have Kruller's in the US donut shops?  And.....I thought Tim Horton's was making it's way (or already was) in the States?

Peep the menu for yourself. The Funky Monkey - bananas, brown sugar, cream cheese icing - is foodgasmic.

Because someone needs to promote living composers.

Yeah, I've promoted a few living composers here most notably Arvo Part, Magnus Lindberg, John Adams, and Esa-Pekka Salonen, but, in general, I'm not too impressed with contemporary classical music. The 20th Century for me all the way! :D
