    An experiment in logical thinking.

    $2,500 is a nice chunk of change to take to the aftermarket for accessories proven to improve performance and handling.  Or maybe one or two good driving schools?  It really often is "the nut behind the wheel".

    Samsung Galaxy S7 - Best next audiophile phone?

    I got a new S7 Edge last week after having scored a pair of B&W P7s on an earlier Black Friday indulgence on markdown with an additional 15% off.  The S7 has considerable optional settings for audio output, including a separate applet to optimize for your choice of cans and your hearing.  In...

    It's even better from the other seat.    What about that noise!

    GTS.  I had the choice, while it was on order, and decided this was better suited to my purposes.

    Bicycle-Fi!

    Great to see folks still riding and posting, although my health ha precluded my riding, I still have great memories and friends from fifty years in the saddle.  :)  Keep cranking!

    Bicycle-Fi!

    Well mine was bacterial endocarditis with a right-side stroke and aortic valve replacement.  I'm working on getting the strength and dexterity back in my left hand for those bicycle and motorcycle controls (I am, of course naturally left-handed).

    Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?

      I was the MN sponsor for both of HeadRoom's first two Twin Cities shows.  For the second, my co-sponsor was the Minnesota Audio Society and we held it at the Pavlek Radio Museum.  I still have and wear both of my HeadRoom tee shirts, although they are both too big for me these days.

    Bicycle-Fi!

    After being very sick last summer, and now in the middle of an MN winter, it's good to see my Bike-Fi thread is alive and well.  Looking forward to spring and continuing my rehabilitation through riding

    Do you have any dyno traces that you could post?       This is from a couple of years ago of my Blue Car getting its first dyno tune.  The Blue Car proved an excellent tool for my learning to drive more competently (through study, practice, tuning, several driving schools, and track days)...

    Gun-Fi

      I've always had to look around for 12ga  2 3/4"  #1 buck, but then I stocked up and bought a case about fifteen years ago.  Birdshot ( say #4s) works just fine at ranges where you would be talking without raising your voice.  Just the sound of the cycling of a pump shotgun's action has a...
