Tiki Oasis Thursday through Sunday...

Alooooooooo-ha!

San Diego, Thursday through Sunday is Tiki Oasis, the RMAF/CES/T.H.E./etc. of Tiki.

Google it, find it, and please come visit the "Limoncello Lounge."

It will be a sea of wahines, Betty Page wanna-bees (I mean that in a good way,) exotica, aloha shirts, mugs, tropical libations, and primitive debauchery juxtaposed with space age modernity.

We will try to unveil our new rose extract (yup, actual roses) "Rosecello," at near 160 proof.

Really Cool Computer sound interface!

Here is a way I have found to get very nice sound from your computer. After reading many posts on several forums it seem to me that a firewire interface seems to be the optimum. I started seeing a lot of buzz about a new m-audio product, the profire 610. So I went to my local musical instrument store, talked to the guys there and I ended up buying one.

The Ecstasy and Agony

Marantz America is supporting the launch of their attractive <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/marantz_ki_pearls/">KI Pearl components</a> with a decidedly august hardcover book and matching dual-layer SACD. Like the KI Pearls themselves, both the book and SACD celebrate audio designer Ken Ishiwata's 30-year relationship with Marantz and offer insights into his life and work.

Trying to find some horn speaker info...

Forums

Hola,

I've been looking for any data on horn speakers where the effect of trying to 'overlap' horns may have been looked at.

My question is what effect on the sound or measurements one would see if one, in effect, 'pushed two horns together' so that one horn's flare was made to overlap another's.

Kind of like this...

Or, like this...

H1N1 in tha house!

Took the kids for a vay-kay in the southish Pacific, and connected back via Honilulu and LAX.

My nine year old popped up with H1N1.

Tamiflu is mui bueno, by the way. This strain is susceptible.

Me? All I got is a headache from either the Mai Tais or trying to translate Nancy Pelosi's gibberish into Engrish (sic.)

Stalked by swastikas, Nancy? You and Moron Downey, Jr., I bet!

Arista Freedom

Forums

On the road Saturday in Kingston, Ontario I found this impossibly cluttered used record store.

It was one of those places where the aisles are not quite big enough for one person, let alone two. At one point I had to back out of the store to let other people - a couple of tolerant, but bored wives - in.

Little slice o' heaven, it was.

Anyway, I grabbed a Stephane Grappelli/Roland Hanna/Mel Lewis/George Mraz session from 1973 on the Arista/Freedom label.
