Westworld started off OK but went downhill fast as the seasons progressed. (Hate-watching describes my viewing of it perfectly.) I really liked Peripheral. I like Chloë Grace Moretz and Jack Reynor. Thanks for the recommendation. I watched the first episode of Station Eleven last night and it...

I watched the second episode last night. I'm normally OK with violence and gore, hell I found Dead Alive, the self-proclaimed goriest movie ever made, absolutely hilarious. I find the gore in this series gratuitous and unnecessary. But the biggest problem I have with Fallout is with the...

I've had a Grado Sonata wood body moving iron cartridge on my Mørch UP-4 for a number of years. Swapped to a Sonata3 with my latest stylus change about a year ago. Fantastic cartridge. Martin

I am not a gamer and did not know this was a game adaptation until after watching the first episode last night. Gory, bloody, and the weirdest show I have ever seen. Still trying to decide if I'm going to keep watching. Martin

Alice Phoebe Lou, Fiery Heart, Fiery Mind from her first EP Momentum: Martin

Love the Brits trying Texas barbecue video. Reminds me of myself the first time I tried it. This video has absolutely nothing to do with the first, nor with Tekton, but it is a very good reminder to always think things through and I find it hilarious: Speaking of thinking things through -...

I find the "news" as "reported" on all the American networks to be so obviously biased and full of propaganda as to be completely untrustworthy. All of them: ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Fox and CNN. All utter garbage. I have found several sources on YouTube to be better as well as the BBC, Al Jazeera...

Stunningly good looking speaker with wonderful measured response. Beautiful. Looks like a poor man's unpowered Blade / Blade Two. (Given the prices maybe an upper middle-class man's Blade. ;)) Martin

Nice to see a relatively inexpensive speaker measure so well. Their entire line-up looks intriguing. Martin

Your description of your tinnitus is remarkably similar to my own. Mine is also a hiss, a high pitched frequency which, through experimentation, I have determined to be approximately 8,800Hz. It is sometimes more noticeable than others but remains a fairly constant companion. Martin

I watched the entire series. Not having read the books I thought it was well done. Unfortunately, somewhat wooden writing and unlikable characters put a real damper on later episodes. I'm looking forward to future seasons. I'm now watching the Ten Cent series on Peacock. A couple of episodes in...

I don't remember the glass ones but I do remember using these: Martin

So then the original stand-up jet skis are boaterscooters? Martin

We were at the Fontana Village Resort in the Great Smoky mountains on the center-line for the 2017 eclipse. It was awesome. We're traveling to Niagara Falls, also on the center-line, for this one. There is a very good chance it will be cloudy but I'm hoping for clear skies. I have already heard...

Two of these for $4k is all anyone would ever need: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=38543 If you really want to spend $8k buy four. Martin

That's a hard pass if they are still using OLED screens. I know from experience, they become unreadable after several months of continuous use. Martin

I occasionally miss my VTX1300R: Martin

I prefer the term Trash Panda. Wait, will the thought police cancel me for using a derogatory term to describe an animal? Martin

I'll answer my own question... I've been using SOX based EQ on my piCorePlayer/LMS for more than a year. I have one EQ for my speakers I created using REW and a house curve and another EQ for my headphones created using oratory1990's measurements. This FIR method of room correction has caught...
