Buying audio equipment is an addiction for some people (99.99999999999% of these “people” being male people, of course). Although it is perhaps a more respectable addiction than either drugs or alcohol, and less expensive than gambling, it is, at its root, still an illness. For once you begin climbing on the ladder of high fidelity audio… they’ve got their hooks in you. You’re never satisfied, because there’s always something better. Buy that better amp and it’ll just expose the weakness of your speakers. The solution? Better speakers! But those new speakers don’t really blend well with your subwoofer, do they, which now sounds kinda flabby, doesn’t it? Finally you simply can’t take it anymore and replace your sub with a better one… Repeat this process several times per decade, if not annually. The story ends with the death of the audioholic or else said audioholic’s better half putting her foot down on his headphones while he’s wearing them. That said, high fidelity audio equipment, like HDTV sets, is getting waaaaay cheaper while quality and performance is going up, up, up. A $10,000 stereo system purchased in the late 1990s is nowhere near...

ESTA NO FUE LA IDEA DE PABLO. Lo último que le interesa es explorar nuevos países o experimentar algo que pueda describirse como "enriquecimiento cultural". Pero le guste o no, está atrapado con su hermano, Theo, durante dos semanas en Taiwán, un lugar que, aunque fascinante para Theo, no tiene ningún interés para Paul. Durante un corto viaje a una tienda de electrónica local, Paul se pierde irremediablemente en las estrechas y sinuosas calles de Taiwán, y no tiene más remedio que explorar este nuevo entorno en su búsqueda para encontrar el camino de regreso al apartamento de Theo. En un lugar desconocido, sin amigos (¡y sin GPS!), no se sabe qué aventuras podría vivir. ¿Y quien sabe? Tal vez resulte que, después de todo, tiene amigos en Taiwán. | Autor: Mark Crilley | Editorial: Tinta pequeña, marrón | Fecha de publicación: 23 de mayo de 2023 | Número de páginas: 256 páginas | Idioma: inglés | Encuadernación: Tapa blanda | ISBN-10: 1368040993 | ISBN-13: 9781368040990
