Welcome to Issue 104, wherein we look at
some interesting equipment from both ends of the cost spectrum. From the sheer madness of
some of the products at CES to the sheer inventiveness of James Bongiorno's circuitry to
the sheer delight of disc player s in the budget-price range, all we can say is,
"Go figure!" And believe it or not in our next issue, the madness and inventiveness delight will get even more
extreme, the expensive equipment all the more expensive, the bargains all the more bargain-priced, so you can consider this issue a good
warm-up. You’ve been warned, warmed, but not I hope, warped...

One Last Thought: "If I were not a physicist,
I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my
life in terms of music." — Albert Einstein
