Well... i was joking about the calibration stamps to be honest, and clear, and to make a full disclosure. I think ethics can be done with a smile. ;)

The internet reviewing game is so huge today. But do you really need to lawyer up? I doubt it. ASR is not on the scale of Yelp and Trip advisor, but much larger than the many YouTube audio channels like Steve G for example. It seems like ASR is like a small but growing Consumer Reports for...

When you think about the cost of good inductors and capacitors, then trying one idea out and comparing it to another idea it seems like that gets expensive fast. In addition you have a lot of waste with parts covered in solder that you don't use. Just seems like there should be more DIY "how...

Is there a place on Youtube or somewhere else that goes over a design from scratch using Hypex Fusion Amps? It seems like a well implemented active crossover with room correction can be far superior to a passive set up and much simpler and cheaper in the end.

Music of North Africa: Terakaft

Superbly cool! This is where I want to go on Friday night

Thanks for posting this! Samara Joy... fantastic voice and great sound

Silicon Valley. It was called the Valley of Hearts Delight around 60 years ago, as shown below. Santa Clara was all small farms and then folks at Stanford invented the silicon chip, making this website possible as well as a couple other things. Which one do you like better?

Well this is not a thread about cost. I like the combination of machined plywood and paint, there is no accounting for taste and yes they do look like DIY in the way that a hot rod looks DIY. How did you like the sound of these?

It's International guitar month... do you have a track that needs some air time? I was listening to Duke Robillard and Herb Ellis Conversations In Swing Guitar last night while making chili... but I could use some help spinning something I may not have had the pleasure of hearing before this month.

I am planning to have ChatGPT at my next party as MC rapping about life here in the Bay Area. But seriously, I would not care if these speakers measure well or not, I would go with them just because I like them, and I would build my space around them so they might be given a chance to sound...

The protests broke into the streets and the people had masks on. The leaders were there and physically arrested. You put yourself on the line when you stand up to authoritarians, and courageous people do it. The Chinese government can spy on everyone online, probably the same with Iran...

Some philosophers are aligned with you. I am not entirely although I respect your argument. In my view we are objectively studying the phenomena of consciousness when we perform epilepsy surgery for example. The surgeon probes into your experience with electricity when looking for the area...

Great points... but my counter is that if we allow cheap and mass scale anonymity the whistleblowers will be drowned by bot armies. Russia and China will have the advantage to discredit the whistleblower and journalist with their own deep fakes. I think the current journalistic rules of...

If there is an issue where you are a real whistleblower you can still go to a journalist and there are rules to help protect you if you are a whistleblower. If we just allow "mass fake access" then real whistleblowers and journalists will have no recourse, because the real whistleblower will...

Even if we know it is an AI fake it can be very harmful. Imagine a bunch of neo-nazi skinheads changing Madonna's Like a Virgin into a right wing fight song and they make the AI Madonna do things against her will. She is known to sympathetic to the horrors of the holocaust. We should just...

My view has shifted, but not for scientific reasons, thanks kemmler3D and others. It's not about science, it's about ethics. The internet is a mess. It is filled with scams and worse. An AI could make the internet much worse with more scams, more fakes, more disinformation, and even more bad...
