Abstract
In his 1929 painting “La trahison des images,” Belgian painter René Magritte highlighted the power of illusions by painting a pipe and commenting it with “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” (“This is not a pipe”) as Magritte himself explained: “Try to stuff the painting with tobacco… .“
Mr. Audio was a bit loose in his PCM tuxedo. Tayloring the suit helped it lose bits and become a lighter MP3 dinner jacket.
