A nice interview from CBS Sunday Morning

I used to have a poster of her in my room, really loved her voice and her looks. Hope the movie will be as good as the trailer. I like it when in the trailer, Dolly Parton says Linda was such a perfectionist that she was pain the ass sometimes. Five back to back platinum albums is pretty good in...

In the video Wendell Diller of Magnepan explains about the importance of power response in trying to reach a more realistic stereo experience. I might try to make some of these dates to hear the 30.7s in a different room than I did in Chicago. Plus I like talking to Wendell Diller in person, to...

I like this YouTube video because 99% of it is just the camera in the room, with the speakers playing music. Also most of these systems are Uber expensive, with the ancillary equipment to go with it. So not something you can see at your average hi fi dealers showroom, minus the Wilsons. Not sure...

Thanks Rob, I want my Fifteen Minutes of Fame

FYI, Josh358, to the left of Cynthia is one the top gurus over at the Planer Asylum. Was talking about using sound to communicate, which is where I came in with the reference to Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I was also trying to tell Cynthia about the Peter Frampton in concert video from...

At the April 2019 AXPONA, Wendell Diller director of marketing at Magnepan (actually he does much more for the company). Wanted to shoot a video of an informal get together of members of the Planer Asylum Forum, to talk about audio in general with some mention of Magnepan in the conversation...

My favorite part was when Steve asks him about, the Audiophile cliche. "I want to hear what the band sounds like in the room" And then the recording studio guys response. Essentially, recording is not about the search for some ultimate truth. But trying to reach an idealized version of what the...

Well from personal experience, I would disagree concerning one brand of speaker. That would be Magnepan, those inefficient bastid's suck up energy like a black hole. When I moved from a small apartment to my current small duplex, 790sq ft including the attached garage. My 75watt @ 8 ohms NAD...

Well, guess I answered my question. You can buy these shipped direct from China, via eBay, $2,600 is what I found for the speaker in the youtube video. I would be pretty nervous about spending that kind of money, on some knockoff product from a company that would pull some shady stuff like this...

Not trying to endorse these guys or promote them, just thought it was interesting. As I saw a youtube video review of them, but not sure how your supposed to buy them here in the US. Closest North America dealer is in Mexico. I would be curious to how they sound, against a similar priced...

Some strong claims are made about this new type of Class D technology. Munich High End 2019 | Munich, Germany | 3 May, 2019 – NAD Electronics, the acclaimed high fidelity audio brand with more than 45 years of leadership in performance amplifier innovation, announced that it will be the first...

I really like these videos, as they are pretty close to being they're just wandering the show to see what's going on. Also in the videos your not bogged with a bunch of sales talk and small talk between press and manufacturer. There are plenty of other videos for that, so you can get more a...

Netflix, doesn't give much detail on how they are going to do this, in their promo video. This link explains how they are using Dolby technology to do it https://www.mesalliance.org/2019/05/02/dolbys-bullish-on-new-netflix-high-quality-audio-feature-transition-to-atsc-3-0/ Dolby is upbeat...

I liked a few things from the Pre-quels. Darth Maul and his dual bladed light saber was pretty cool. As was his fight scene with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, despite to many cutbacks to almost toddler Ankin Skywalker. Also liked the fight between Lord Sidious and Yoda, I liked seeing how much fun the...

I don't remember hearing those speakers, but I do recall seeing that brand at the show. On a banner or sign I believe.
