Thought provoking and if even remotely on the right path, mind boggling. The little blue/aqua/green/yellow/orange/red button indicator can be hypnotic!

Don't usually rate commercial sites, but these people produce some outstanding recordings, mainly classical chamber.

For those who like Windham Hill records, this is an exhaustive compilation of their releases. So you know what to look for on Ebay or Amazon.

A collection of practical audio articles. Good stuff, especially those debunking the immense volume of tripe written about hifi by the snake oil merchants. Sound common sense, even if the missionary zeal shows through occasionally.

This is the home site of the PICAXE, a simple PC-programmable IC controller circuit. It uses a simple BASIC programming language. They can be used for an amazing variety of electronic controls. I used one in an IR remote control. The site is oriented to school use, and that means the support and explanations are very thorough. Very good user forum.

Excellent site, but Windows users also need to visit the WinLIRC site at winlirc.sourceforge.net [winlirc.sourceforge.net] as the LIRC site is for Linux. The circuits work well.
