Still Calling
IT’S NOT JUST THE GRAY HAIRS OR THE EXPANDING WAISTLINE THAT SUGGEST ONE IS GETTING OLD: IT’S ALSO WHEN THE ALBUMS YOU LOVE SO MUCH, AND SO VIVIDLY REMEMBER HEARING FOR THE FIRST TIME, HAVE BECOME A PART OF THE ROCK HERITAGE INDUSTRY. SO IT IS WITH LONDON CALLING BY THE CLASH, WHICH CELEBRATES ITS 40TH BIRTHDAY IN DECEMBER 2019.

Of Headphones To Come
I figured it was coming, but it wasn’t until just after I’d returned from the Audio Engineering Society’s 2016 International Conference on Headphone Technology1— held last August in Aalborg, Denmark—and was writing up my report and summary on the event for InnerFidel ity.com2 that I knew for sure: Headphones are about to change . . . a lot.

Power Tripping
Some of our readers seem to believe that the essence of high-quality audio is disclosed primarily by science, and not by dreamy, bodice-ripping adventures that take place on plush carpets behind closed doors.

The Tight Lines Project
WE LAST RELEASED A RECORDING ON THE STEREOPHILE LABEL SIX YEARS AGO—A JAZZ ALBUM FEATURING ATTENTION SCREEN, THE LATE BOB REINA’S FREE-JAZZ ENSEMBLE. THIS DRY SPELL WAS MAINLY DUE TO THE INCREASING DEMANDS MADE ON OUR EDITORIAL TEAM’S TIME BY SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE MAGAZINE’S WEBSITE, BUT ALSO BY JOHN ATKINSON’S RECORDING ACTIVITIES WITH THE PORTLAND STATE CHAMBER CHOIR, WHO ISSUE THEIR RECORDINGS ON THEIR OWN LABEL. NEVERTHELESS, WE’VE BEEN KEEPING OUR EYES AND EARS OPEN FOR SUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES.

Follow-Up
The words right and wrong and good and bad make me uncomfortable. Assigning virtue or value is against my religion. And thinking that I know the best way to design a loudspeaker, amplifier, or record player would only prove that I’m a conceited old fool. Therefore . . .

NAD Masters Series M50.2
Back in May 2014, I reviewed NAD’s Masters Series M50 Digital Music Player ($2499) and M52 Digital Music Vault ($1999 with 2TB storage). 1 At the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show, NAD announced the M50.2, which is almost identical to the original M50 but now incorporates two 2TB hard disks, arranged as a 2TB RAID array, to ensure data integrity, and adds TosLink and coaxial digital inputs, Bluetooth with aptX for streaming music from a smartphone or tablet, and two single-ended analog inputs—all for $3999, or $499 less than the combined cost of the two earlier products.
