Secondly big drops in ceiling height can be a big issue. I’ve never experienced one like Ron’s, but I have heard a big ceiling drop height right in front of the listening position. That drop pretty much disqualified that system for best sound, no matter the equipment , and he has a million...
Lagunda, I would actually make that assumption, not that it would be horrible but certainly not at it‘s best.
I had a close friend who built a purpose built listening room, and prior to committing to the plans he had an acoustician assist. So he gets his new room months later and finally get‘s...
Hi Bill, back in 2019 I think, when I heard your system here in Austin, you told me at the time, of your desire to upgrade to an Air Tight Opus One. So curious did this comparison change your mind or not?
Thanks for link, I had not heard of those cherries, but they look worth a try. I use Luxardo cherries.
I love Manhattan's, probably drink those or an Old-Fashioned 80% of the time. I am particular on my sweet vermouth, currently working through a bottle of Dolin, but after 2-3 years of using...
Alright this recipe is available at Perry’s Steakhouse, it is a little bit of a tricky drink because you really have to have the particular garnish for the rim and tequila, otherwise the balance is way off.
Dekuyper O3 is not necessary, but thankfully it is way cheaper than Grand Marnier or...

Shake with ice
Double strain into coupe glass
Garnish with lime wheel
Jeffrey Morganthaler is a famous bartender. This is an elevated rum daiquiri, because it is intentionally using...
So this one used to be on the menu at a local hotspot, Eberly, to do it right you should pick up one of those olive oil spritzers from Bed Bath and Beyond for like $10, so as to better coat your glass with the smoky scotch.
This drink when done right is perfection, such a beautiful balance...
This recipe was developed by a local bartender, and my favorite local liquor store posted it for a week. They initially suggested any old Anejo tequila, with a preference for a local Tequila called 512. However after trying various tequilas, my favorite is below:
Jovita Idar
1.5 oz Anejo...
I live in Austin, TX where apparently the Mexican Martini was invented
1.5 oz good tequila (Tequila Ocho, Fortaleza)
1 oz fresh lime juice
3/4 - 1 oz grand marnier
1/2 oz olive brine juice
1/4 oz agave nectar
Salt rim of martini glass, garnish with 2-3 olives on pick. Serve in a martini...
I am a bit of an aficionado of good cocktails, but when I find a good drink at a restaurant, I will visit as many times as it takes me to get the recipe. Whether that is telling me or me having to just watch critically, thankfully must bartenders are willing to give out the info after some...
I am a cocktail guy.
i have a really good whiskey collection, but I prefer to drink whiskey straight when with friends.
So usually one of these or a derivative of them, but I only use high quality booze:
Old Fashioned's
Manhattan’s
Margarita’s
Daiquiri’s
I have some really good recipes garnered...
Here are some shots of the party we have had in the past there. Chris has an amazing wine and whiskey collection, though a lot of the whiskey bottles in these particular pics were provided by me, got to thank Chris for hosting somehow.
I love Chris's system, it has evolved to the point where...
