In recent years my attention, and desires, have turned away from vintage gear and toward modern gear. I know a number of you have blazed this same trail ahead of me. I may have been stalking you following your adventures in this regard. More than anything, the advent and wider acceptance of DSP...

I had been noticing, for a while now, a bit of extra noise in my system. Sometimes it would manifest as low popping, sometimes hissing, sometimes static crackle. Over time it got worse, to the point where my wife commented on it several times. So I spent quite a bit of time attempting to track...

I'm needing to sell my Emilar compression driver / horn setup. The drivers are EA175, with new (6 months old?) Radian diaphragms (8 ohm). The horns are "Bowtie" EH800, in excellent condition. They were refurbished by @ICTWoody prior to my ownership. This set works flawlessly, and is as uncolored...

So there I was, minding my own business as a firmly entrenched audiophile, when my wife decided to try a decent fountain pen for fun. One became two, two became...significantly more than two. I wound up helping her with some maintenance and tuning issues, which required me to delve into the...

So a couple weeks ago I bit on an ad for an old nondescript pair of speakers, featuring the titular LS8 drivers, and Motorola(?) piezo tweeters. The Wolverines appeared to be in decent shape, just a bit dingy from a forlorn existence. Today I finally got to connect them to my JBL LE14A woofers...

Post pics of storm clouds...'tis the season! Some pretty cool clouds this morning over my church building.

Okay, MY CAR has a big trunk. Let's get that straight... This morning a pair of Dahlquist DQ20's popped up on FB Marketplace, and soon thereafter they were following me home. :D (Mostly) all is well with them. Physically, they are in fantastic condition, with their primary cosmetic flaw being a...

Today I had a day pretty much to myself. And on days like this I fall down the rabbit holes of Wikipedia, Google, etc. Today's excursion led me to an article that I resonate deeply with. The author is a designer, and I'm guessing he is close to my own age. His thesis is that the vivid, exciting...

As I posted about some time back, I acquired a very nice pair of JBL L55 speakers. I really liked them, I thought they sounded lovely, especially in a *warm fuzzy* sort of way. But my desire had been to run the LE14A woofers with a nice set of horns, through my active line-level crossover (TDM...

Hi all, I'm looking for one or two diaphragms that fit the Emilar EA or EC175 compression drivers. Last I knew the Radian 1175 also fits. 16 ohm is what I have now that works, so just a single would need to match it. ALSO, I would be interested in a pair of "other" compression drivers, if they...

Several weeks ago I was driving through a town that I often work in, minding my own business. Yes, really. When I espied upon a well-manicured lawn a pair of JBL L100A speekers, just sitting there, with a few other miscellaneous items, next to a small "for sale" sign. Once the reality of what...

Yesterday I started playing around with my camera's "panoramic" mode. I'm hooked! I can shoot either in landscape or portrait. Landscape orientation gives you the standard super-wide panoramic shots. But portrait orientation gives you an awesome 16:9 wide angle shot, with a relative minimum of...

I have the opportunity to acquire a set of Apt Holman equipment, a preamp and two Amp 1 amplifiers. For a long time I have fancied this gear, and by reputation it is fine stuff. It has been in storage for a while, so it would need a bit of freshening up. My question is this: what could I...

I've been running vintage-ish solid state this and that amps for 10+ years. Even an oddball amp and a tube amp or two. Mostly 70's and 80's Japanese, all the way up to a Nakamichi PA-7. But for the last year or so I've gone in an entirely different direction; I've been seduced by the siren song...

Hey all, Jeff from Wichita here. (Well, 20 miles east of Wichita, but no one knows where that is.) I stumbled upon HFH quite by accident, as I was researching something... don't even remember what it was. I was taken aback by the august assembly of personages here, I hope I can elevate my...
