Rolling Stone Magazine released a list of “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” in November 2004. It represents an eclectic mix of music spanning the past 50 years, and contains a wide variety of artists sharing the spotlight, including Bobby Darin, Madonna, Patsy Cline and OutKast.

The Rolling Stone 500 was compiled by 172 voters comprised of rock artists and well-known rock music experts, who submitted ranked lists of their favorite 50 rock&roll/pop music songs. The songs were then tallied to create the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Topping the list is Bob Dylan’s Like A Rolling Stone. The rest of the top ten is made-up of other legendary and influential rock icons and bands. The Rolling Stones grab the #2 position, followed by John Lennon, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, the Beatles, Nirvana, and Ray Charles.
List favorites include the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, who appear a combined total of 49 times, making-up almost 10% of the list.

We’ll be playing the full 500 songs in our Stouffville store every weekend throughout August. Come join us for a complimentary coffee in store and let us know where they missed out. We have some opinions ……

Finally, a High End Mini System!

The AG-H300mkIII is a classy black stereo receiver delivers 2 x 35 watts of power. Enough power to drive almost any speaker you might choose. Heavy duty speaker binding post type terminals and a headphone jack on the front panel are just two of the features taken from Teac’s full-size components range. The styling of both components is classic black with white markings. The layout and labeling of the controls are absolutely intuitive making it easy for anyone in the house to use.

The PD-H300mkIII CD player is also straight forward to operate. It has both an analogue RCA and a digital output. There are also two remote outputs that can be connected to the AG-H300mkII receiver with the included cable. This allows the receiver to automatically power on and start playback of the CD player.

The PD-H300MmkII and the AG- H300mkII CD and receiver combo will open up your ears like no mini “hi-fi” system from a big box store ever could. Compared to other mini systems, these components provide substantially improved performance and flexibility.

Canadian Made, eh?

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 16:34:25 +0000

Buying Canadian is becoming increasingly difficult in times where the easy answer is to go off shore and have it made for you, as cheaply as possible. As a medium sized loudspeaker manufacturer, we at StudioLAB could just as easily decided to have our loudspeakers manufactured, packaged up and shipped to us from China.

So why haven’t we oriented ourselves to go down the same path as most of the loudspeaker industry? There are many moral reasons, which we feel by now is plainly (and painfully) obvious to anyone who’s lost a job to cheap labour. Products coming out of those factories can sure look pretty, but where corners can be cut to save a few cents, you can be certain they will be. After all, isn’t it the time spent in ensuring that no corners were cut what differentiates a run of the mill audio product from a true to life music reproducer? Our 37 years of experience in producing hundreds of thousands of loudspeakers certainly points to that conclusion.

Although now in the minority, we are certainly not the only ones who continue to produce quality Canadian made products, you just have to look carefully. If you’re looking to support the local economy by purchasing locally made products, may we suggest that you look past the well known North American brand name, and find out just what country the sticker says it’s made in.
