I thought I'd share a picture of my main system/listening room. I really enjoy listening to records with this rig. :music:

An interesting 13 minute documentary video, interesting at least for a local guy, on the Seattle music scene - at least from the perspective of the Subpop label and the KEXP station. This ran alongside the Cameron Crowe Pearl Jam movie on PBS this week. I like the comment about the...

I took a popular hike last weekend, and I was amazed at the amount of snow and ice still at the lake now that it’s July and the temps are into 70's. Here's a picture the same lake 2 years ago, from a hike on the July 4th weekend... It will be interesting to visit some of the...

It's a sunny sunday here, so I brought these beasts out in the backyard to dust them off, and do some listening at moderate levels. I listened to Coltrane - A Love Supreme, and the High Fidelity soundtrack. These things really like the extra elbow room. Very nice. :music: :thmbsp...

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/ele/2388148229.html JBL studio monitor model 4430 speakers - $1200 (Huntersville) Worth a look if you're in the area. I think it's lame that they don't include a picture of the actual speakers. hard to believe that they're too lazy or unable to at least get...

Interesting read, a lot of this rings true including how the brain, like the heart, benefits from a well-conditioned body. alright, all you incoherent, confused old-timers (like me) .... Read and Rejoice :D:tresbon...

I just returned from a visit with AK'r Sluggo in Port Townsend. He recently returned from several months in Mexico. He is still getting resettled. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse to take the Altecs off his hands, great terms too - all in the interest of keeping these speakers "in the...

A friend sent along an obit for the founder of Sennheiser, who died recently. It's an interesting read about the man and the company he founded. http://mixonline.com/news/fritz_sennheiser_obituary_1805/index.html

Sir Byrd took on this M500 amp that I have had in storage with several bad caps (visible bulging...). I covered the cost of parts only and he went through the amp, recapping with Nichicons, and yesterday he said it was ready for pickup. I checked it out this evening using a Phase...

http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&1278022786&/JBL-Everest-DD55000-Very-rare to understate it a bit ... you don't see these very often. Would love to hear these. :drool::tresbon::tears: < no affiliation >

Thanks to Will for the excellent re-foam work on the 2214 woofers on my JBL 4425s. I picked them up today, installed them into the cabinets, and I can't stop smiling while listening to some Grant Green here. The JBLs had original foam which was holding up well ...until I brought them to...

http://www.komonews.com/news/85839397.html Very sad to hear that this guy died. I assume alcohol was involved and he was feeling no pain. OUch. As one comment mentions - every man's worst nightmare.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcJ7KTkeLUA Great BC commercial features Michael J. Fox, Ryan Reynolds, Erick McCormack, Kim Cattrall, Steve Nash, and Sarah McLachlan! They call it home, I think there's a few other entertainment stars living in Vancouver - I was suprised to hear all the...

Thanks CL! I saw the listing yesterday afternoon on my cell phone while waiting in the truck for my son: Bolder Grabner speakes Got the reply, and the nice lady said I could stop by this afternoon. Stopped by and YESSIR, these are 75" length ribbons with Bohlender Graebener labels...

It's just a short piece going over the same old ground, but I think it's still an interesting read... The Home Stereos That Refuse to Die Once Thought Doomed by Digital, Turntables and Other Old-School Components Keep on Grooving...

These have been on Tampa CL since yesterday, woofers need foam but everything else looks nice on this mirror-imaged pair. I think JBL 4430's are incredibly nice speakers and I'd be all over them for the $700 asking if I were local: http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/msg/1579060526.html <...

http://livedaily.com/news/neil-young-to-be-conan-o-brien-s-final-musical-guest-21240.html I hear that Will Ferrell and Tom Hanks will also be on the show. Should be entertaining.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VymAn8QJNQ Cool video showing how Metheny pulled together his latest work! :music:

I just saw this video linked on SHF. WOW. A REALLY nicely put together video -involving, it looks like, most of the student body. Video was posted to Youtube on 12/17. This school is just a few miles from me in N. Seattle. I sent the link to my 18 and 16 year olds - I think they will...

I recently put Crites Titanium diaphragms in my Klipsch Fortes. I swapped in one upgraded tweeter and did an Right channel / Left channel comparison, and I was impressed by the improvement - I'm hearing a much smoother high frequency. The Speakerlab K's use a tweeter from Electro-voice...

I just read about this - it looks like this exhibit at the Experience Music Project has been going since October. Looks kind of cool, interested to hear if anyone has seen it and whether it's worth the time / admission...

I just brought home a nice looking pair of JBL 4425 monitors. I have been on the lookout for a pair of these for the bedroom system. Yes, even though I have a pair of 4430s, I do "need" these. And ....how could I resist a bargain priced CL deal? These were part of an $800 OBO package deal...

A collegue sent this. It looks like this is making the rounds on the internet. Nice use of graphics to present the McCartney classic!

I received this bit of Carver history in the mail yesterday compliments of fellow AK'r Mark W. Thank you sir! :thmbsp: I'd never heard of these. It looks like these were demo disks to advertise a full LP that Carver sold: Carver Sonic Hologram Demonstration Calibration Test Record C-4000...
