For U.S. readers, talk show host David Letterman has been running a series featuring drummers as his musical act for the night. Friday's drummer will be Neil Peart from Rush.

I presently have a system (#99) based around Ascent i and Depth components. I'm about to close on a second-home condo in downtown, so I'm looking to equip it with some AV gear, mainly two-channel. I'll still have my single-family home with the original gear for the full-on home theater and "rock...

OLD LYME, Conn. – May 19, 2010 – Late during the evening of 17 May 2010, only a few days after his 98th birthday, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Fritz Sennheiser, audio pioneer and founder of today's Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co. KG, passed away. The audio industry has lost a huge figure, not only in terms...

I've always heard that you shouldn't really have your panels in sunlight (e.g. near a window). Does that carry over to northern exposures too, in other words, any outdoor light? I'm considering buying a condo in a mid-rise building which is pretty much sheathed in glass. The particular unit that...

According to this article from Audioholics, Lexicon stuck an Oppo BDP-83 in their own chasis, then attempted to sell it for $3500. :eek:

I was poking around on ML's site and came across this: Motion Series I did do a search of our forums and didn't see any obvious threads discussing it. I'd be shocked if I'm the first to notice it.

For US members, this is playing this month on HBO. Among others, there are performances in various combinations by Jerry Lee Lewis, Simon and Garfunkel, CSN, Sting, Stevie Wonder, Reba McIntire, Aretha Franklin, Mettalica, Ozzy Osborne, U2, Bruce Springsteen, and probably others that I forgot...

New Russian $1.5M SUV, with white gold instruments with diamonds, gold-plated windows, and the ever-popular whale penis leather interior... http://jalopnik.com/5380680/15m-russian-suv-features-diamonds-whale-penis-leather My first thought: if you pass an attractive girl whale, does it turn...

It uses tube sockets at each square, and powers the heater wires so it has the full tube effect. Link at Wired.

I've had a Denon 3808CI as my main HT unit for quite awhile now. It was originally driving a Toshiba DLP, and now drives a Pioneer 5020, all over HDMI. The whole time that I've had it, I've had the on screen GUI working perfectly. Although the Pioneer is a recent addition, I know that I've...

Very pretty car. It looks much better in person than the pictures I've seen of them. The shape is something like a cross between a Ferrari and an Aston Martin DB9, sort of like you took a 350Z and squished it. It's wider and lower, but has roughly that same shape. The only thing I didn't like...

This may be a regional thing, but I got a mailer from Tweeter (a US audio/video chain) indicating that they are giving $800 off a pair of ML Vistas, in black or dark cherry, through March 31, 2008. They state that the regular price is $1997.50/each, so $4k/pair less $800 = $3.2K. My local...

I've been looking to get a new receiver to serve as an audio prepro and HT system. I currently use a Sony DA4ES which I've never been particularly happy with. It doesn't seem to sound as good as the ancient Sony ES Prologic receiver it replaced. I suspect that Sony has been diluting the "ES"...

The company I work for had our "winter party" last night (aka Christmas party, but intending to be multicultural). It's a big company, so it's a pretty big event. We take over a local convention hotel and all of its ballrooms, etc. We have food, bars, and various types of bands distributed...

Make Magazine (through their affiliate "Instructables") currently has an article up on how to build your own acoustic panels out of OC 703. I'm in the process of doing almost exactly the same thing in the same way, but am using Auralex instead. Link to article here. I was actually trying to...

This showed up on Slashdot via Make Magazine. It's a video of a French amateur radio operator who hand-builds his own tubes (!). Here is the link to the video (17 minutes) via Make.

James Randi is a professional magician and skeptic, known for debunking psychics like Uri Geller and for offering a million dollar prize to anyone that can demonstrate a "paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event" under controlled conditions, as set forth by the James Randi Educational...

So, I have a fourteen-year-old Del Sol VTEC. I really like it, but it's starting to let me know that it's fourteen years old... I have a full-size 4x4 truck too when I need to carry/tow stuff. The truck rides better than the car... I'm in my late fourties, so while I still like to haul ass on...

Maybe this should have been under the Off Topic Audio forum. So I'm sitting here reading the ML forums. It's our second day of 80F weather, my windows are open for about the third time this year, and a freakin ice cream truck just rolled up my suburban street, complete with lure music. That's a...

I posted this over in the Tivo Community Forum site, but thought that people here might like it too. Doritos was sponsoring a contest where amateurs could submit a Superbowl commercial: http://promotions.yahoo.com/doritos/ They picked the best five from the ones that were submitted, then let...
