This one is for all the weird stuff.
My latest audio travels have taken me to Colorado, dear readers, where the high altitude has resulted in decreased speaker sensitivity and impossibly low sound pressure levels despite the panoramic views of what appears to […]
I haven’t been home in a while, dear readers, and for obvious reasons. I have also been keeping a very low profile during my travels because it is not a good time to have a […]
There was a time, dear readers, when I would have been embarrassed to talk about my personal struggles with ear hair. I am still self-conscious about the excessive hair in my nostrils and my shoulders […]
Hello my dear readers! Again I have been negligent in keeping up with my audio travels but I think if you watch Channel One you know exactly why it is important not to visit your […]

By Modest I. Predlozheniye It is easy to get caught up in the latest trends in audio, especially when you travel the world as I do. I see a lot of new technology applied to […]
