    OK Go does it yet again; 31 robots, a lot more mirrors, and again it appears they did it all in one take with one camera. This is just stunning:

    The Savanna Bananas

    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...

    Alex Garland’s Warfare

    I’ve read some stunning reviews of this one already.

    PS Audio at AXPONA 25

    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...

    What Are You Listening To?

    Matt Johnson is the keyboardist for one of my favorite Brit-funk bands, Jamiroquoi. During the Pandemic he started doing a lot of ewetubes from home, demos of certain instruments, funk techniques, mixing tricks, etc and I really enjoyed watching them. Think he's "working" a lot more now so he...

    The Vulfpeck Thread

    Cory Wong (the fantastic rhythm guitarist from the Vulfpeck consortium) put together this ensemble; don't know who they are or where they're playing, but they smoke!! Those horn lines are so tangled, yet so tight!!

    What Concert Video are you listening to?

    Odd concert between Elton John and Brandy Carlisle on CBS right now. It didn't sound very good the first half, I left it on while I surfed elsewhere. Then, Elton did a solo piece of Tiny Dancer, the rest of the band took a break and listened, and... Magic. His vocals have aged, but dayam his...

    STELLAR RECORDINGS

    I had just done a separate thread for this list: 50 Best Audiophile Recordings ... but should have put it here. It was fun reading thru this thread again; and bittersweet how many of these folks aren't here anymore. :confused:

    What Are You Listening To?

    Stunning slushpump solos by the US Army Band, on Flight of the Bumblebee! I played trombone from gradeschool thru college jazz band, and this guy's skill is stunning!

    Virtual Headphones

    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...

    Octave Records

    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...

    DeVore Fidelity O/Baby

    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...

    What Are You Listening To?

    Max Cooper, 3D Reworks 001 This is an electronic music EP, done in a "binaural" recording. From what I remember, a "binaural" recording is normally a live music performance (usually classical) that is recorded with two small mics inside a styrofoam head, and what those two mics hear in the...

    Heeman's New DIY MTM Project

    Wow, I'm surprised a "pencil"-style soldering iron could get hot enough to make a clean joint on a lug connector (granted, you have a variable-power unit, fancier than I ever had). As a part-time bar musician, I was constantly building my own 1/4" and XLR-ended cables, and I had to use a...

    What Are You Listening To?

    Just checked Amazon; DT is selling this in a 3-disk set: the OG album, the album with just instrumentals, and a Bluray with 5.1 mixes. $60.00 Decision, decisions.
