Conrad-Johnson ET-250S, Part 12

In 1993, Toni Braxton's debut won over both the R&B and adult contemporary markets. And when Braxton's "Breathe Again" came out, it reminded us about what is wrong with high-end audio sound. It sucks. Literally. …

Due to bad behavior, Bobby Brown left New Edition in early 1986. By 1988, the members of New Edition were leaving their teens, but weren't yet adults. And this is reflected on their 1988 album, Heart Break. This was …
Conrad-Johnson ET-250S, Part 10

Growing up in San Francisco, I only got to see the performing arts if the school paid for it. So it was a privilege to go to the ACT Theater, and see plays. It's still there on Geary & Mason. Now that school is in…

15 years ago, there was yet another version of "Can't Help Falling In Love," a reggae-tinged cover by UB40. But at least with this song, the different covers do sound different from each other. It was also at this time…
Conrad-Johnson ET250S, Part 6

In the summer of 1983, one of my favorite songs was Asia's "Don't Cry." When the Fall '83 semester began, I brought my little AM/FM Walkman to school, stashed it in my locker during the day. After school, I whipped out…

Just as I graduated from college 15 years ago, O.M.D. was just Andy McCluskey. Now, I grew up with O.M.D. as a major musical influence. O.M.D.'s synth pop is a main reason why I'm an audiophile to begin with. So when …
