Pieminot šaurās aprindās leģendāro Armandu Lazdiņu a.k.a Melno Aknu (1975-2024), citēšu viņa, zvērināta ateista, no Pitraga baznīcas kanceles reiz teiktos vārdus: “Neviens no mums nav grēcīgs.” Lai arī mēs, tobrīd pieci klātesošie, to jau zinājām, šo patiesību noder atkārtot. Paliec sveiks, Armand.

Can a headphone deviating by -11 dB from Harman target in the upper midrange/lower treble area be considered good? One 4,5-star review and two 5-stars reviews on Head-Fi, the first one praising "balanced tuning". Kind of ironic as most folks there typically don't use EQ.

Dažos vārdos par filmu The Substance: iespaidīgi uzņemts ironisks antieidžisma manifests, daudz Deivida Kronenberga estētikas, taču kopumā pārāk plakātiski holivudiski, pārāk saturiski pieticīgi, lai rosinātu uz pārdomām.

I remember the sentiment in Europe in 2016-2020 when America was hardly seen as a friend or ally. Now it feels like it was just a prelude of what's to come at the end of January.

I sometimes wonder about the term ‘expat’. It looks like Brits and Americans living abroad are expats, while all the others are immigrants.

After seeing the disturbing scenes of spilled Ukrainian grain in Poland, boycotting Polish food doesn’t seem to be a bad idea at all.

That so called character, or worse, soul of loudspeakers celebrated so often by many Hi-Fi reviewers is in fact an unwelcome deviation in frequency response. It basically means: stay away from these speakers, they are tonally inaccurate.

Atsekojos no Arestoviča tviterī. Lai kas arī ar viņu ir noticis pēdējā laikā, šīs pārvērtības nav uz labu. Wannabe mesija ar neizsmeļamu didaktiska pseidovieduma krājumu un aizplīvuroti prokremlisku pozīciju.
