Walt Crawford's Website: Online Extras Rants and Miscellany This subsite contains "extras" that don't really fit in the other two categories.. "The Pioneer Paradox and Euphonic Distortion"- added 8/8/99 A little rant about high-end audio reviewing, particularly when it involves very expensive components with obviously defective measurements. "Oops! MP3 and the Perils of Testing" - added 6/12/99 A funny thing happened on the way to my MP3 essay... "How can $50 be $1,200?" - updated 6/6/99 This was written as an essay for Crawford's Corner 99.7 (for the August 1999 Library Hi Tech News). As usual, there was too much material for that 10-page section--and I concluded that it really wasn't particularly relevant to Crawford's Corner. It does speak to my ongoing interest in numeracy.
