Let’s face Origin Live it most of us probably have a Astute mishmash of interconnects from different brands hooking up the ins and outs of our hi-fi components, partnered with a set of speaker cables that more than likely come from another manufacturer altogether. In terms of getting a system to perform at 116 its very best we all seem to understand the importance Guide to... of synergy between electronic components and Subwoofers loudspeakers, but many of us don’t pay nearly as much attention to the cables connecting the components to one another carrying the all important audio signals. The merits of cables having an influence on the sound of a hi-fi system is a controversial topic, and one that is regularly debated among hi-fi enthusiasts with eager amounts of scepticism and a degree of mistrust regarding the claimed benefits from cable manufacturers. After all it’s just a bit or wire, right? Well, after a day spent blind listening to the cable looms in our Group Test, I can safely say that the six sets of interconnect and speaker wires carefully chosen to work together have a far bigger influence on the sound of a system than you might imagine.

Many of the elements that were successful on the original Xeo models have been carried over to the new models, plus additional refi nements to amplifi cation and DSP performance and a new interface control system on top of the cabinets to provide direct control without the need for the remote. Next-generation wireless speaker with high-resolution playback capability Styling has also been updated to refl ect the company’s Excite range of models, with low-profi le screws, smooth satin lacquer fi nishes in both black and white and magnetically attached speaker grilles.

An Ethernet connection is included for updates. Xeo Link (£135) allows for the addition of a subwoofer to the speaker system for example, and Xeo Extender (also priced at £135) increases the wireless transmission range between the Hub and the Xeo loudspeakers. Look out for our exclusive Xeo 6 review next issue. 6 AUGUST 2014 COMMENT APPLE BUYS BEATS Ever since the day when Steve Jobs shifted off this mortal coil, it’s been suggested that Apple has lost some of its magic. Though the US company may not have a charismatic figure at the helm like Jobs any more it’s still the same bunch of boff ins coming up with the goods behind the scenes, isn’t it? Whatever your opinion of what lies ahead for Apple, it’s diff icult not to find the decision to splash out the not insignificant sum of $3 billion for hip hop mogul Dr Dre’s Beats Music and Beats Electronics companies strange. While the headphones that seem to adorn everyone from teenagers waiting for the bus to celebrity sportsmen, musicians and the achingly hip are undoubtedly popular, are they really worth such a terrifyingly large sum of cash? While Dr Dre can’t quite believe his luck, the rest of the world are left wondering what the Cupertino company’s plan is. Commentators have suggested that the headphones are not what interest Apple, that it’s the music streaming service Beats Music.

    POP MUSIC, CULTURE AND IDENTITY Popular Music, Technology, and the Changing Media Ecosystem From Cassettes to Stream Edited by Tamas Tofalvy · Emília Barna Pop Music, Culture and Identity Series Editors Steve Clark Graduate School Humanities and Sociology University of Tokyo Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan Tristanne Connolly Department of English St Jerome’s University Waterloo, ON, Canada Jason Whittaker School of English & Journalism University of Lincoln Lincoln, Lincolnshire, UK Pop music lasts. A form all too often assumed to be transient, commer- cial and mass-cultural has proved itself durable, tenacious and continually evolving. As such, it has become a crucial component in defining various forms of identity (individual and collective) as influenced by nation, class, gender and historical period. Pop Music, Culture and Identity investigates how this enhanced status shapes the iconography of celebrity, provides an ever-expanding archive for generational memory and accelerates the impact of new technologies on performing, packaging and global market- ing. The series gives particular emphasis to interdisciplinary approaches that go beyond musicology and seeks to validate the informed testimony of the fan alongside academic methodologies.

    NEW RELEASE for the Week of Feb. 5, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now!

    NEW RELEASE for the week of Feb. 5, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now! FLOCK OF DIMES "Head Of Roses" (SUB POP) SP1405 CD/ LP FLOCK OF DIMES "Head Of Roses (LOSER (SUB POP) SP1405LOSER LP edition-coloured vinyl)" April 2 street date. On her second full-length record, "Head of Roses", Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak) follows a winding thread of intuition into the unknown and into healing, led by gut feelings and the near-spiritual experience of visceral songwriting. The result is a combination of Wasner's ability to embrace new levels of vulnerability, honesty and openness, with the self-assuredness that comes with a decade-plus career as a songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and prolific collaborator. Simply put, "Head of Roses" is a record about heartbreak, but from a dualistic perspective. It's about the experience of having one's heart broken and breaking someone else's heart at the same time. But beyond that, it's about having to reconcile the experience of one's own pain with the understanding that it's impossible to go through life without being the source of great pain for someone else. Carefully curated and culled from the depths of Wasner's heartbreak and healing, it's deeply, intensely personal. KING GIZZARD & THE "Teenage Gizzard (pink (ORG MUSIC) ORGM2210 LP LIZARD WIZA splater on yellow transparent" April 2 street date. "Teenage Gizzard" is a compilation album featuring early recordings of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, recorded between 2010 and 2011 in Victoria, Australia. Org Music is participating in the band's official "bootlegger" series to release the album on vinyl.
