Studies have shown that listening to music stimulates more areas of the brain than any other form of activity except one - performing music. Somehow music has the ability to communicate and stimulate emotional responses not only in people but also in animals (cows give more milk with Mozart) and pla...

Just like to say thanks for the quick delivery of the SSP1, it replaced an MIT Matrix 6 which I had found to be an excellent sounding interconnect. that is until the Sound Pipe went into action.
