    Welcome to Earth - Will Smith

    Welcome to Earth - Will Smith https://www.hulu.com/series/welcome-to-earth-74ed68d2-98da-4de8-9acd-cc897b626b82 The first episode makes some interesting observations about sound, gravity, volcanos and other things. Yep, they all tie into together in an unusual perspective aided by a blind guy.

    Robert Harleys 'listening room

    I think a reviewer going through many types of loudspeakers with a different positioning requirements (electrostatics further out from the wall etc...) needs side wall diffusion that is also adjustable. I mean even us guys that don't change our systems for decades don't bolt our listening...

    New Anvil levitation footer

    I put aside a project 12-15 years ago, going to pick it back up in a few years - I swear. At least you got your project to work well enough to sell, development setbacks take a little out of your soul. I don't know how Edison and his team persisted like they did. Please keep us informed...

    Klaudio can announce the launch of our new Magnezar high-end turntable

    The thing of dreams. I'm not sure we will ever get to read a direct comparision audio review of the Magnezar verses the Esoteric Grandioso T1, but I love the concepts each and both.

    Good link, thank you for posting it. I'm attempting to fix my old pickup truck so that I can get back to finishing my stereo room. That article is an inspiration.

    Resources for Building an Ideal Listening Room

    That's good to know he might have an out building like a barn. One of the guys at work did 15 minute analysis of my property, and I found a few things out. 1. The 60-80 foot trees to the south, one at the front and one at the back would shade a proposed garage addition to the north on Dec...

    Resources for Building an Ideal Listening Room

    To clarify, both the ATX LED lighting system and solar PV arrays run wires with DC current, and that poses special challenges. I asked this engineer/electrician if it's only 12 volt in the wires like in a car, what's the big deal? It's not some high power solar array. He said that power is...

    Resources for Building an Ideal Listening Room

    I talked to one of our PV Solar Array engineers, he's actually an electrician that both designs and does installations, knows a lot about AC and DC and trouble shoots systems - has some colorful stories.......................anyway he said that he would NOT have DC in his house with a master...

    Resources for Building an Ideal Listening Room

    That is very interesting LED light stuff there, not so sure local building inspectors will be on board though. NEC is changed every two years, I'll ask the engineers in the office if they know anything about this. I'm sure omni-directional speaker have special requirements. My Martin Logan...

    kach22i's system

    Added a new to me 2006 vintage Esoteric SA-50 CD/SACD player still being broken in as it was rarely played in an audio store owner's second system. The cat seems to like it too.

    Affordable tube amps basic and integrated

    Reminds me of a discussion some of the hovercraft guys were having about a few Harbor Freight products (several years ago). 1. Small Chinese 4-stroke Briggs & Straton "style" engines not a good power-plant to design a hovercraft project around because of replacement part availability. 2...
