    Got the Technics...

    1200 GAE (#226 of 1200), having a really good time with it. Rock solid build and operation. Have been out of the TT world for too long to provide a meaningful value comparison but sounds good to me so far w/a Dynavector XX2mkII cart and Klyne phono stage. Vinyl is back in the house.

    Mad Max: Fury Road

    As good an action movie as has ever been made. Maybe the best pure action film ever. The only one with the premise of 'A world gone insane....' that really delivers on that line. There's more imagination on display in the first ten minutes then in ten typical big Hollywood movies put together.

    Panasonic LX100

    Really enjoying this camera, for a (cargo) pocketable camera it is a complete pleasure to shoot with vs the Sony RX100, another large sensor/small body cam. My relatively large hands play a role here -- never really liked shooting with the Sony; fussy, imprecise dials and a cumbersome menu...

    Cybex 525at arc trainer

    Bought recently, happy so far though not surprising in that I've like arc trainers I've used in gyms. Always felt they made me work harder than other ellipticals. Key differentiaters of the Cybex vs most others is variable stride length, so the motion changes through the course of the...

    Squeezebox RIP?

    It's been removed from Logitech's site and haven't heard anything about a replacement in the pipeline. This is a loss, I think it's one of the best values in all of audio and I'm not convinced anything betters it SQ-wise as a streaming device. It listed for $299. Looks like Logitech is...

    Google Nexus Q

    may be the wrong forum, but it was announced with the new tablet -- the Google Nexus Q. A bit of a merge of Sonos and Apple TV with a distinct form factor and some sharing features. Has a built-in amp like one of the Sonos Zoneplayers -- last thing I'd expect from Google.

    http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/31/tech/web/neil-young-apple-high-def-music/index.html?c=tech&page=1 Bruce, think you were alluding to this quite awhile ago Anyway, sounds dead in the water. And a major industry marketing push/education is exactly what's needed

    Inside Job

    Anybody see this doc? Won the DGA and Writer's Guild award for best doc in 2010. Am about 2/3 thru -- it's very well done. All about the Wall St. meltdowns, it takes an obvious POV, but the the interconnections (and their consequences) between govt and the financial industry that it...

    Funny songs

    What are some songs you think are really funny? I'm thinking less here of outright parodies, rather, 'straight' songs whose words and/or lyrics make me smile and laugh. Here's two: Lou Reed's 'Turn to Me' on New Sensations Warren Zevon's 'Gorilla You're a Desperado' on Bad Luck Streak in...

    Das Boot bluray

    This is a spectacular bluray. PQ is improved over the SD version, and though not of, say, Apocalypse Now quality, the remaster is very good. Clean blacks, color and flesh tones are on point, and tonal gradation very nice. Audio is very good too. Can you imagine a better application for...
