Estelon, a speaker company based out of Estonia, featured a new flagship speaker design at CES, the "Estelon Extreme" model. Interesting features, with hand-finished cabinets made from a marble-based resin. [That makes me think of the "faux marble"-like bases of the old Kenwood turntables...

Sometimes you read something that makes you glad you live in the "first world" (assuming you do :D). This is just wrong on so many levels... http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2014/12/thieves-fry-kenya-power-grid-fast-food-2014122884728785480.html

Not far removed from the truth? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig1E9WhVi44

Almost unbelievable. I'm not sure whether to laugh or to cry. At least someone at home is teaching her something right, even if she is not allowed to "stack" in school. http://www.goldismoney2.com/showthread.php?65986-Common-Core-Math-We-re-Doomed-DOOMED!

Does anyone know which model(s) this amp set-up is? Sorry these cruddy phone shots are the only pics I have available. Obviously it was made by Valve Amplification Company (VAC), but I need (a) model number(s) to get more info on it. A Google pic search didn't come up with anything...

Sorry if this has been posted before. I have a vague feeling (recollection?) that it has, but I can't find it with a search, and even if it has been posted before, some might have missed it, so at the risk of a repeat post, here goes...

Here's a slightly new approach to classical music, designed to get people (men in particular) who ordinarily don't listen to the genre to enjoy doing so: http://fashion-pikk.com/story.php?title=thats-one-way-to-get-people-to-listen-to-classical-music

I wouldn't take this too seriously, but just for fun and interest: http://www.playbuzz.com/benjaminbirely10/which-religion-best-suits-you The first time I took it, it said my "best fit" religion was... Zoroastrianism! :yikes: What does it tell you?

I found the picture of a parrot in the thumbnail below quite interesting. Look at it. What do you think of it? Now, click on it to enlarge it and study it more closely... :D

And Britney's drives away pirates! Check out the array of loud-hailer type horns they use! http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20140310-ear-assault-music-as-a-weapon And this is just to add another exclamation mark! :D

This has been rolling around in my head for a while, and a quick search failed to turn up a definitive list, so I thought I'd start a thread here, and see what the collective Infinity wisdom comes up with. We all know that Infinity started in a garage in California, and many/most Infinity...

I've seen some incredibly BAD, WRONG decisions made by school officials in the States, like a kindergarten playground kiss being made into a criminal matter of "sexual harrassment", or the kid who got suspended for a firearms violation because he had a tiny, miniature cap pistol on his keychain...

I didn't get any hits on a search for this, and thought it worth sharing. This is amazing teamwork and coordination, the result of who-knows-how-many hours of precision drill. The title says it all. No doubt they will strive to improve on this, but I just don't think you can do it any better...

A while back, I made a post here excoriating Windows 8, describing it as by far the most horrible, user-unfriendly, almost unbelievably BAD software I'd ever encountered, etc... I spoke truthfully, but mistakenly in a way. That opinion was based upon the Windows 8 (with Android) version...

Please excuse and forgive me. I'm in the mood for a little :banana: :banana: :banana: and there is no better banana-dance floor than AK! I posted a whiile back about getting a somewhat neglected "project" pair of RS 2.5s, in need of some cosmetic TLC and missing two of the four EMIMs...

It's already past midnight here, and therefore I'm living in 2014 already. Don't worry, guys and gals not living in such a fast lane, you'll get here soon enough! :D In the meantime, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all my AK brethren and sistren (is that a word? lol) a very, very...

First off, to get y'all into the mood of the upcoming winner-takes-all, loser-goes-home match-up between the Green Bay Packers and the ShitCarGo Boors, I mean, the Chicago Bears, here are some typical Packers fans:

This is very simple, but very effective. A good illustration of how our senses can sometimes deceive us. Watch until the end, to "get it" (if you don't already know the illusion)! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4QcyW-qTUg

I thought since there is a thread about Christmas songs you wish were never written (or something to that effect), it might be worth having a thread about your favorite Christmas music, songs that you like to pull out and hear each year around this time. the ones that make you glad that they...

I don't think this has been linked to here before (apologies if it has), but I thought it might be of interest to some here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/694525/dubstep-girls-massive-5ar4-5r4-5u4g-rectifier-review-comparison-rectifer-tube-rolling-thread

Picked this up today, and thought I'd share it here. It's a Japanese-made vacuum pump/compressor unit that came out of a medical ENT machine. I apologize for the crappy phone pics. They don't begin to do justice to the pump! I've seen a few hundred compressors and pumps, at least, but...

Today I was in a local "junk shop" and found a headset (headphones with attached microphone). Normally I ignore those, but these looked extremely well-made. I put them on, and their noise-blocking ability was significant. They were very solidly made, with chromed metal parts, and looked a step...

Not sure where to post this, so I'll stick it here. Once in a while, amidst all the un-interesting movies and Canto-crud that makes up the used DVD market here, I'll find an interesting musical concert video, but not very often. I suppose there are a lot of Canto-pop ones (local Cantonese...
