    Lightning Strike and Marantz SR7007

    Lightning strikes are strange. My house has been hit twice since I moved in back in 1999. Literally every device in any form of a surge protector was preserved perfectly - no issues whatsoever. That is, unless the device was also connected to something else via another wire, like telephone...

    Finally 100% in on streaming!

    What are you not receiving from Apple music which leads you to seek other options? Personally, I've tried Quboz, Tidal, and others, but they weren't any better than the ultra easy to use Amazon Music HD, and in some cases the remastered versions of songs I love were quite disappointing.

    Finally 100% in on streaming!

    I have vivid memories of discussing the failings inherent to music streaming for high fidelity. We ran in circles on data rates, lossy compression codecs, and the bandwidth we could get from our ISPs. Well, until about a year ago if I wanted to sit down in my main listening room for some...

    A different sort of speaker - Semi-Outdoor Patio Rig

    Just thought y'all would like to see something different. I have loads of photos and measurements I can share if anyone cares.

    A different sort of speaker - Semi-Outdoor Patio Rig

    Here's the real world open space amplitude and phase response taken while on speaker stands on my patio (not their final location): (ignore the SPL being so high, I spliced a bass curve to a midrange-treble curve and didn't adjust the SPL to reflect the actual output, it was at 1W, so it...

    A different sort of speaker - Semi-Outdoor Patio Rig

    Here's a set of interesting speakers I designed and built a couple of years ago for one of our community members. They are bass reflex loaded with a 6.5" woofer, 1.1" ring radiator tweeter and finished with weather-proof sealants and paint which will hopefully protect them well enough to last...

    Monolith: Transformers Feeding Amp Modules

    I am excited to see the new A/B designs, be sure to let us know when info is available. I am not dismissing class A/B at all, I just no longer think class-D is a joke. Even going so far as to say that in many cases class-D amplification can be the absolute best option for high fidelity results.

    Monolith: Transformers Feeding Amp Modules

    I have very little data to share as I don't have any lab grade measurement gear. I am 100% certain your AP tests are far better than anything I could provide. I have a pair of reference architecture modules mounted in a DIY chassis which a friend has loaned me and most of what I am doing is...

    Monolith: Transformers Feeding Amp Modules

    I've been testing the PureFi class-D amp modules and thus far I cannot think of any pure constant voltage amp which comes close to comparing in performance & sound quality. Nearly every aspect of a constant voltage amp which impacts performance has been address to a degree these are darned near...

    Your thoughts on rhyming and song lyrics?

    Like the Cranberries rhyming "guns" with "bombs?"

    What are you reading now?

    Slogging my way through this incredibly dense and eye-opening historical treatise on the establishment of the unelected educated elite inventing the regulatory state and the birth of "science-driven" social engineering & reform.

    What TV shows are you watching now?

    I watched Ad Vitam on Netflix and loved it. It is a bit shallow with some far too common stereotypes, but the concept is great and the English overdubbed dialog isn't bad at all. At least the plot isn't typical American fare.

    What Concert Video are you listening to?

    When a bunch of cerebral snobbish musicians somehow get a massive pop audience in Rome to join in on a sophisticated musical journey. Imagine someone in 1973 saying this would ever take place.

    What Concert Video are you listening to?

    And, perhaps the greatest keyboard solo of all time!!!!
