Luxury is only for those who can afford it, or so they say; that's why almost each time I happen to stumble upon a piece of technology that has some luxury feature forcedly added to it I tend to look away from what it represents and think about its very utility. Most of the blinged-up items in the tech world have been created just for the fun of it: in some cases the hyped features add nothing but the simple "I'm rich" label, while in some other situations a scent of ridicule is also present.Well, that's exactly what I was thinking about when I encountered some of the most striking loudspeakers around, in the body of the Gocc...

Leaving Paris alone, here goes a nifty piece of news about guitars you don't meet every day: guitars whose bodies are made of metal! The Vancouver-based Liquid Metal Guitars (LMG) are the creators of one of the most intriguing axes you'd ever expect to see on stage... and we're not talking just the flashy mirrored guitars of the glamorous 80's, but something with a far more artsy nature.[admark=1]Their guitars have hollo...

And frankly, I was more than pleased to meet again a piece of audio tech created and engineered with such a respect for the environment, natural resources and similar issues, while still be able to maintain its specs in the high-end top-drawer.[admark=1]We're talking a very nifty piece of iPod docking technology, far better than your common dozen-a-dime plastic cheap crap you see everyday by the ton. This iPod speaker system has been crafted entirely from select wood and manually-assembled and finished: it's a...

[admark=1]From their initial appearance until now, radio clocks have constantly evolved, as far as shape and design are concerned and functionality requirements dictated; simple pieces of cheap plastic with a crappy sound FM radio and all-time favorite red digits or high-technology, stylish and artsy units, their purpose is pretty much the same, waking us in the morning and enduring our constant snooze-button battering.[... [read more >>] Until now, powerful audio editors with a shot at the prosumer class were rather big, complex and by all means, some of them were costly. It's time to announce with extreme pleasure, the release of one of the neatest audio editors encountered during the last one and a half year: ladies and gentlemen, meet the Wavosaur![admark=1]The Wavosaur is one very fine piece of software: despite its freeware character, the workings and construction are similar to the most serious paid programs and if you think that a such a piece of free code can't have your more-than-basic jobs done, then you're so wrong.
