    RMAF Show Reports

    Interesting. I thought the von Schweikert room was totally unlistenable and left after 3 minutes. Thenagain, I don't do this for a living so what do I know.

    Rocky Mountain Audio Fest-2018--pictures and comments

    I thought they sounded unrealistic - they played some piano music and the high notes were fired out of the speaker like a machine gun. I remember literally bracing myself for the "attack". Very fatiguing. Just one man's opinion.

    Rocky Mountain Audio Fest-2018--pictures and comments

    I totally second your call on Elac and Audio Solutions setting the price / performance reference. I made and posted the same observation. It is reassuring to know that if I ever go broke and have to liquidate my system, I can get phenomenal sound from a $2,500 pair of Elacs.

    Rocky Mountain Audio Fest-2018--pictures and comments

    Few highlights to report at opposite ends of the price spectrum. During my first visit, I though the Verity Room (total setup $1.1M) was the best audio I heard in any showroom, show, home EVER. When I went back the 2nd day, it occurred to me the sound was maybe projecting a magnified image (too...

    Charles Krauthammer, MD may he RIP

    Very smart guy. Really liked him. High integrity. To his credit he was appalled by Trumpism (like George Will). I suspect he would be equally appalled by Fox turning into a Trump propaganda outlet. May he RIP. Full disclose, I'm a lefty.

    I requested for a windows version so I can run Dirac live and this is what they build me.

    Pink Faun 2.16

    I just took possession of my new top of the line Pink Faun 2.16 server, and it is an absolute revelation. I had been using their earlier model for a few years and while it worked fine, I was never in love with it - it did not blow the earlier multi media servers I had been using out of the...

    Looking for speaker recommendations.

    I would always buy used. If you spend just a little more (they sell for $3,500 - $4,000), you can get yourself used original Revel Studio's which is a screaming bargain. I tried a lot of speakers and my pair of $4K studios were the best value for money I owned. There is currently a pair listed...

    My favorite 2017 Jazz Albums

    He played one show in the Met in NYC this January. I was tempted to fly out and go see him -you never know what will be his last. Regrettably, I did not execute.

    My favorite 2017 Jazz Albums

    How could I forget. Close second after Brahem. The incompable Charles Lloyd / Passin' through. A must have. https://www.amazon.com/Passin-Thru-Charles-Lloyd-Quartet/dp/B072BBMVPL/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1518821701&sr=1-1&keywords=charles+lloyd

    My favorite 2017 Jazz Albums

    Not sure if this technically qualifies as Jazz (I think it does), but my favorite 2017 album by a mile: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Maqams-Anouar-Brahem/dp/B074STB1Y1

    Bitcoin

    Somewhat analogous to walking into a casino and buying chips with the credit card. It baffles me people would actually do this, but apparently there are plenty.

    Bitcoin

    This seems consistent with the pattern I'm observing. There seems to always been a price floor at which big money comes in to buy up supply.

    Bitcoin

    I bought Bitcoin cash at the absolute peak of $4K and am down 70% in a month. Sheer genius. Did well on some others, but overall portfolio is down 15% (I was up 50% at some point). Oh well...
