Component 2!



I'm back! I've overhauled the computer and am now running Vista! It has been a pleasant switch and it works great (so far...)!

As promised, the second component in my three-part sound essentials!

Most people would be content to just plug in a pair of headphones and crank up the volume. But they would be hearing about 66% of what is actually there. To focus the sound and make it EXTREMELY good, I use a HeadRoom Total BitHead.

Let's imagine that you are at an eye doctor's office. We have all had the experience of "better one? better two?" And then the doctor dials in the exact prescription and in one moment, everything is so bright and clear! The same experience happens when you plug your headphones into the BitHead.

The BitHead simply refines and increases the power of the signal leaving the iPod device. It is a high-end super amp. It powers the headphones much better than the mini-amp inside the iPod device.

This particular model costs a hefty sum, but it is WELL WORTH the price. Just try it and I guarantee you will smile with delight!

Website: http://www.brahmsnotesonclassicalmusic.blogspot.com/
Description: A discussion of all things "Classical" in music
Topic (as I saw it): A blogger's perspective about the music world.

Description: The website is divided in two sections: the right one contains the posts and the left one has different widgets and links. The topics of the blog range from giving information on the music scene in Columbus to talking about products related to music (mp3 players, amps, etc.). The background of the site is a medium-dark color while the font is a lighter tone of this same color. The links of the site seem to be related to his topics.

Interpretations: Well as I said the range of topics seems to cover the music world in general, and it isn't as specific as the description says the blog is (about classical music). I think that the background makes the website seem somewhat casual or comfortable and that it reflects the relaxed writing style.

Evaluation/Theory: Personally I find the fact that the topics are varied a rather good thing. A blog about a single topic seems rather difficult to handle, but I would prefer to read more about the blogger's opinion about the music world. I find that his control of the blogging medium to be very effective, he incorporates links very well, images are used effectively as well. I found that his -"Classical" music...on the verge of Code Blue? - post was rather interesting and would be a very good concept to keep exploring. Other topics related to this would be interesting would be to talk about his experiences as a musician or the role of classical music in his (or others) life. I believe the site would be more effective if you could hear some of the pieces he has played. Maybe by recording a class or making a video of a concert he participates in.
