Really cool story about this "baseball" team on 60 Minutes tonight. I won't try to summarize the story, but it was cool to learn that they have more tictoc followers than the top 12 MLB teams, combined, and they've sold out ALL their games for the next season, many of them in the MLB parks, and...

PS Audio introduced a new line (preamp, DAC, disk player and Phono preamp), and I'm posting Paul's presentation because of a few startling comments: 1. A reported 150 dB signal-to-noise ratio for the full system (less the phono), 2. One of the engineers on the project he hired from...

Interesting tech, aiming two “bendable” (?) ultrasonic beams towards someone’s ears, which combine to become audible. I didn’t quite understand it, but will be interesting if this ever becomes practical...

Saw this kinda interesting read: https://www.headphonesty.com/2025/03/most-hated-audio-gear-time-according-audiophiles/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJKXCVleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHbQv6LtL5z-o39q9YyhpHo8hI0qo_8Q7AEt-lBk1o7sS6glTkdefDs7KQQ_aem__0dmCfCnk9PdE-7WvmIChA

During my recent research on music streamers I found some audiophile channels that I've continued to enjoy, including a daily 4-6 minute one from Paul McGowen, PS Audio. He's the founder of PSA, whom I was unfamiliar with, pretty high-end stuff and it's all designed/built in Pueblo, CO. He has...

John Darko "re-posted" this video from a lady I'm unfamiliar with, about a Brooklyn speaker manufacturer I'm also unfamiliar with, on how they build their "economy-line" of speakers (apparently ~$6,500). Some of the materials used were rather, uh, ho-hum, but the amount of manual labor that...

Randy, of the CheapAudioMan yt channel, got invited to the Sennheiser plant in central Ireland, to see their operation, listen to a drool-worthy $70K headphone/tube amp system that was a work of art, and actually built a set of phones which they were then gifted (some people have cool jobs). Enjoy.

Think I mentioned in another thread that I would be adding a streaming box to my 15-yr-old Yamaha receiver, since it's working again. It arrived on Friday: I'd been eyeing the Wiim boxes, but after watching a lot of EweTube reviews it sounded like the actual DAC in each got better as you...

I was really intrigued by the nice stereo systems I saw in dorm rooms my first year of college, 1978. I had a clock radio, but was soon hanging around Team Electronics and got a subscription to Stereo Review. Had my first nice system by 1979, and have been a fan since, and always held a...

I've whined before about being able to get OTA TV years ago, and then ten years or so ago, one by one the channels started going out, and I ended up having to go to Dish, and then paid YouTubeTV, just to get the local channels. I got an email from my Credit Union Friday morning, they had some...

Aw, man. :crying: You may not know his name, but you know his sound.

Wiim Ultra! Well, as usual I've procrastinated on buying the Wiim Pro like Mike did (it's still sitting in my Crutchfield cart), and now an improved model with a touchscreen/album art is coming out. Has a good set of inputs on it, and a pretty decent price of $330!

When I saw the news last week that wally-world bought out Vizio, I thought, "Great, soon those things will be displaying walmart-specific ads (perhaps a permanent scrolling ad banner at the bottom), with no way of disabling it", and was thinking about starting a thread about it. Caleb just sent...

Interesting new surround system for "imperfect" rooms and speaker setups (includes bonus Maybach content!)

Every year, since I was a teen, I've watched the Grammy Awards. And for the last 15 years or so, I've always promised myself "this is the last time"; but, there was almost always a small slice of an artist that caught my ear, and I ended up being a fan (Seal, Take 6, some mexican guitarist...

This one deserves its own thread. I adore this guy. He foils thieves with his tracking/glitterbombing/fart-spray/bomb countdown machines. Sadly, this is his last one (supposedly), but he does expose a pretty-obvious black market scheme to the leadership of San Francisco; wonder if anything...

First off, borderline NSFW. I'm not a gamer at all, but found this interesting for a few reasons: - Pretty stunning visuals! - Apparently the last one is over ten years old - It has broken the non-music-video Ewetube record with (at time of writing) 129 million views - It won't be coming...

I learned this in Junior High School, but it bears repeating:

Another band that deserves their own thread. They're branching out from just covering Chicago, here's a Blood Sweat & Tears tune that I have in my collection but don't exactly remember. They are (iirc) a mix of Ukrainians and russians, and after checking their link I see they're touring...
