There's something inherently entertaining about a USB Microphone disguised as a rose, a rechargeable speaker cube the size of a golf ball; they're...

Before I blockquote an enticement paragraph to Clive Thompson's piss-on-the-grave rant about the death of audiophiles, I want to make one point: the "compression" spoken of by audio producers is different than the "compression" used to make digital audio file sizes smaller. The former compresses the loud and quiet parts of a song into one...
