I did know that it is 33rpm, but posted here out of laziness since we were discussing Living Stereo reissues.

One thing is for sure, if there is a debate to be had (regardless of merit or necessity), there will be folks to engage in that debate.

HP Soundings has released a stellar review of the Analogue Productions re-issue of Reiner's Scheherazade, calling it superior to the original Living Stereo release. I hope that those members who...

I had the opportunity to speak with a good friend who is a SWAT Commander about Tasers. I was interested in obtaining recent Taser deployment statistics and also asking questions about effective...

Welcome, Dave! Please tell us more.

I spent a lot of time with Barry Ober of JL Audio discussing this. He prefers to compensate for group delay by using the "distance" adjustments in your processor, which is essentially a certain...

Thanks for the assist, Myles! I knew that we'd have some folks who are more up on the analog market than plain ol' digital me!

As a further example of the uncertainty of a weapon's stopping power, here's a clip of a "good-ol'-boy" out playing with his friends. Pepper spray, a stun gun, and two non-lethal shotgun "bean-bag"...

The lesson to take away from these two videos is that we should never rely solely on a tool (lethal or non-lethal) to end a conflict. Proper training provides us with built-in backup plans in case...

Here's another video clip, this one far more "documentary-style", that features the use of a Taser. We have the same complete FIST armored suit seen in the video that we use for simulations. Take...

Here's a short video clip demonstration of a test subject and a 75,000 Volt Stun Gun.

Myles made a comment in another thread about Sid Marks. When I visited Sid in NYC, he was a gracious host and this recording via his modified IRS-Bs was an early transcendent audio experience for...

I'd recommend that you try Krav Maga. The focus is similar to the way I view personal protection needs, and the coursework has more similarities than differences.

In all fairness, Tim's response and position is not unique. If you've never had a flat tire on your car, you probably haven't given much thought on how to change it efficiently. This line of...

Sid had a collection of legend when I visited him. Wow!

Tim,

Bars are notorious for lots of fights, no doubt. However, bar fights are often "match fights", where both parties agree to fight over a perceived slight: "You spilled my beer!".... "Were...

One of the statistically growing crimes, and a quite frightening one, is home invasion. According to Dept. of Justice FBI files, there is a home invasion every 12 seconds and over 6,600 per day. ...

Guys, please cease all the name-calling & veiled insults. It's beneath WBF.

With much thanks and respect to Don and other members who have contributed, I want to provide a few guidelines we can use when evaluating different self-defense programs. With so many "dojos" and...

Here's another view of the takedown in progress:

Since we're going to land on the ground soon, I need to make sure that I land on top!

I take advantage of the rotation as we...

Now that I'm beginning to get my grip on him, I'll continue to move behind him. A HUGE concern is that he will try to reach around with his gun hand and simply point the gun at me, since I don't yet...

I'll put up one more of our "atypical" gun disarms to show how a "held at gunpoint" situation can be dissected, the goal being to form a plan that follows the THREE RULES of gun disarms:
