    Pagani Utopia

    Been fairly quiet on the automotive front last few years. Have to wonder what the market is like for this vehicle. I cannot remember a sports car debut announcement conducted in such quiet tones, ever.

    "Latest Activity" Button Page Load Behavior

    Just now I have noticed a number of posts arriving in a thread immediately after hitting like button on what was the latest message. After reading the new posts I clicked on "Latest Activity." Even after logging out and clearing my cache. These posts by Audiophile Bill do not show up on the...

    Internal link behavior

    Apologies for a second thread in here within a week's time. A few moments ago I noticed that the following link to a specific post within the archive of another thread failed to open in a new tab. Correct me if I'm wrong this was not the case previously. External links do appear to all...

    Red Highlighting

    By chance was this an error? Red text on a white background is rarely encountered on the web. I feel this is with good reason and hope you reconsider a less abrupt implementation.

    NSFW Warning: 3BE {(:)} Speakers

    I cannot rightly say what got Matej to print announcement this brand sent out. How could you not note the premier of these speakers at Finest Audio Show Neuss in the phonetically intriguing Heinrich Heine 1 room where "Visitors who participate in the auditory sample evaluation will also receive...

    Editing system videos for youtube

    @bonzo75 As part of a discussion elsewhere on the site I kept hitting upon ideas more relevant to their own thread on tapering behaviors to match youtube processing and phone capabilities. For some time I have wondered what exact procedures you have worked out for anything from getting video...

    Porsche Soundnacht Engine Concert

    Suspect this won't quite equal the F1 opera for musical content centered around motor noises. English language announcements vaguely depict interactive event as a high power engine concert with all the modern social media participation requisite to convincing marketing. Broadcasts in English...

    Post Construction Using Emoji

    Accidentally brought up this box with a keyboard shortcut I'm having a hard time recreating. ;) As you can plainly see this allows access to a much larger selection of graphical elements beyond 12 emoji available in the dropdown panel we normally access. Would you rather I forget how this...

    Guiding Ambitions Imposed On Source Material Collection

    Encountering a recently deceased gentleman's music collection had the unexpected effect of calling into question how many stratagems I personally had been employing against the mountain of source material out there. Some weeks now have passed in contemplation. Without stymying discussion by...

    Driving this question is noticing a year late Pioneer's release of BDR-S12J-X external Blu-ray Disc Writer. I'm seeing at least a few highly developed aftermarket options built around this. Importing from Asia is something I expect would be tedious at the moment. Typically the less time new...

    Physical Sale of Entire Melodiya Archive in Situ

    This sounds like building remediation after the contents were degraded to the point cabbage started growing. Would be very interesting to know what is contained within this archive of any audio worth. I'd take a record made out of a discarded X-ray or other interesting object in unplayable...
