I'm not a trader.
I intend to never sell, except to satisfy needs and wants.
My wife told me about a cartoon she saw recently.
10 years ago: A holder of securities was living in a nice house, a holder of Bitcoin was living in a shack.
Today: Both the holder of securities and Bitcoin live in...
I had thought long and hard about the Lamm. Its main positive for me is that it has an XLR input. I need to run 30’ ic. Jeffrey Jackson told me that a run of that length in single ended from the passive autoformer to amp is not an issue.
Cube suggested even 45 for the original version. They...
I just had the V2 upgrade done to the drivers.
It changed the specs slightly from 92db 6 ohms to 91db 8ohms.
I was driving them with an Audion 2A3 when I first got them. The 2A3 was glorious with my previous 97db RETHM speakers and worked well with the Nenuphar with digital but wasn’t enough...

Jinro, M6 phono, the new field coil speaker.
I like reviving old things.

I just moved my lrg 60”w x 24”d x 36”t rack from between and behind the speakers where it seemed to destroy the integrity of the stereo illusion to the back wall. The amp stayed up front on the floor. This required a 10.5M...
There are a lot of choices of Huber Suhner at Mouser. Some are made for offshore petroleum exposure.
It deserves more research than I’m going to do right now but this one looks interesting.
Silver over copper. About 5mm...
Hervé pairs his darTZeel electronics with Klipsch. Jubilees and K-Horns are seen in videos of the office and shows. They must be a distributor as there are piles of unopened Cornwalls and Fortes in MFs video of his factory tour.
Maybe I’ll do that next round. Zeel 108/18 and LaScala.

Two things have occurred since the TED talk above was given.
1. The DOD ordered Major Lowery to stop talking about it.
2. The SEC approved Bitcoin ETFs in the US allowing Blackrock, Fidelity and seven other US based money management firms to begin collecting Bitcoin as a customer investment...
Major Jason Lowery was the US Military‘s National Defense fellow at MIT.
His job was to see future technological threats coming down the pike.
What he determined is that Bitcoin is the most powerful defensive weapon ever devised by human beings. It is the largest most secure computer network...
I was listening to Scheherazade just last night. I have the AP 45rpm of the Reiner/Living Stereo.
I listen to YouTube on my television. It has a built in stereo with forward firing speakers. Things that are well recorded actually sound pretty good. Midfi. I have no way to listen to YouTube...
