    Bezos backed $20k Slate EV truck with 150-240 mile range

    I have Ford Maverick hybrid. I like it. Just enough tech and it gets 42mpg. It also fits nicely in my garage. I also have a Kia EV6 (fully electric, all the bells and whistles). I love that car also, by my wife mostly drives that. I just looked at the Slate. Interesting DIY vehicle. There...

    I guess I better switch to BetaMax now.

    Technics SL 1210GR2 Turntable

    No, my cueing doesn't work. Most of the tables from that era don't. I looked into fixing it but it was too expensive.

    dCS threatens with a 7-figure lawsuit over a review

    This is the same product/market strategy that Kodak used to go bankrupt after more than 100 years of dominance. Protect the key technology (sliver halide film - in Kodak's case) no matter if other technologies are surpassing it (digital photography), use legal means, and deny the truth of the...

    Klipsch Heresy or JBL 4309

    I can't speak to the JBLs, but I do have a pair of Heresys. I love them. I bought them in 1977. I have since replaced the woofers (I had a cat that loved to play with the cones), replaced the crossovers, and re-sealed the horns. They tend to be bright (some people might say harsh) compared to...

    Even more accurate clocks using optical lattice.

    I bet it will just flash "12:00:00" for 30 billion years and then "11:59:59" for the next.

    I ordered a couple of different cables. I found this one worked. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KLXYQDH?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

    TANCHJIM Space Portable Headphone Adapter Review

    I hadn't used mine with my iPhone 14 in a while so I got it out and tried it. I had the same problem. I tried multiple cables and none would work. The unit worked fine connected to my Mac. I did some research and I found out that Apple recently made a change and the cables need to be Apple MFi...

    beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro Headphone Review

    I had a pair of those for a few years. I always thought they sounded shrill and too bright.

    Unpopular Opinions in Music

    Manfred Mann's Earth Band. I despise everything they did. They took great Bruce Springsteen songs and butchered them. It also sucks that they had hits with great songs. It is like calling yourself an artist after painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa and making a fortune for doing it. They took...

    Using OrangePi Zero2 as an equalizer between USB source and USB DAC

    Nice write up. Thanks for posting. I have built a number of projects, including audio players, with RPIs. I will have to investigate the Orange Pi next.

    Trying to find the best DAC+Amp combo for the HD800s, under $900. Was originally leaning towards Schiit products, but they don't seem to review well.

    I had the Schitt Valhalla 2. I sold it. I thought it was a bit noisy and I didn't like the sound. I have used the JDS O2 which a a precursor to the Atom line; really nice amp. I have also used the Topping D90/A90, D50s/A50s, and the DX 3+. You can't go wrong with any of the Toppings or JDS...

    How good is bad? (Raspberry Pi 4B headphone output DAC review)

    I have that HAT. I bought it because I thought it was an interesting dichotomy of modern and old tech. I haven't used it much, it doesn't sound good. But it looks good on my shelf.
