I've recently gotten back into headphone listening in my office for two reasons: 1) Next door neighbor leaves two dogs chained outside all day about thirty feet from my desk chair. :nono: 2) While doing audio shows all over the country this year, I kept running into Mr. Speakers'...

Volti actually had two rooms across the hall from one another on the 8th floor. One with the Vittori (sp?) and the other with a new design with a BR bottom and a top module consisting of a mid horn turned vertical with the horn-loaded tweeter at its top. Couldn't spend much time there as I had...

Sorry to hear it, Dave. Hope you and yours are okay. Keep me posted for 2014, please.

Gendarmes This year, on the way to the Montreal Hifi Show (SSI), the Canadians found me a mite suspicious, (probably the newly long hair), and quizzed me. :nono: He asked me if I'd ever been arrested in the U.S. I said, "No." :no: He said, "So you've never appeared before a judge?" I...

Audio Note on the road to Novi Heading out the door in CT now. I'm splitting the drive into two days on the way out to maximize available energy at the Fest. Can't wait! :banana: I'll do the 13 hours straight through on the flip side where I can just collapse at the far end! :boring:
