Husband. Dad. AI and security research editor. Exploring consumer tech for Forbes & others. Probably spinning vinyl on a turntable right now. Opinions my own.
Big and biggest. My review of the Mammoth Soundboks 4 Bluetooth speaker for Forbes. 2 x 10-inch woofers, 1-inch tweeter, 3 x 72W amplification with up to 40-hour battery life – and it doubles as a guitar amp. https://t.co/Bh06WYM7vD
My Forbes review of Andover Audio's SpeakEasy 4 powered bookshelf speakers https://t.co/sdyYIIaDpE If you want to stream BT audio or plug in a turntable (even one without a pre-amp) and love stereo sound with lots of low end thump, have a look at these.
Another weekend of fantastic 80s nostalgia. Western Fair managed to land Squeeze, along with The English Beat, The Box and Spoons. Have never seen Squeeze live before, so this concert was extra special.
It's been over a year since we lost Aspen, but the time seemed right. Willow was lonely without her lifelong playmate, construction was winding down and house seemed a little quiet with just one dog. 5 month-old Toby (Tobias) has been with our family for a month now. Perfect fit.
Caught QOTSA last week in London. Never been told as an audience to go f#@k yourself so many times in a show, but that was one tight band, great stage lighting and the banter between songs was as interesting as it gets.
My review of the Klipsch Three plus for Forbes https://t.co/zeWHTgF5kO. Mid-century modern inspired design, 120W output, multi-driver array including a 5.25-inch woofer, BT, digital inputs and full turntable support including a pre-amp.
@markalexpreston Thanks for the comment, but Fluance identifies the MP-110 as a moving magnet cartridge, so I need to stick with their description. FWIW, most retailers that carry Nagaoka also identify the MP-110 as being MM – although you're right, it employs nickel/iron alloy as the magnet.
My review of the U-Turn Orbit Basic turntable for Forbes https://t.co/hFopqVvY0n. Decent specs for an entry-level TT, nice paint job, solid build, easy to set up, but $50 (US) extra for a cue lever?
Caught Duran Duran in Montreal last night. Great show! We saw them last fall in Toronto but it was outdoors in torrential rain. A little more civilized inside the Bell Centre.
The Pecron E2000EFP portable power station has 1920Wh of LiFePO4 battery power. It has 16 power out ports including 6 AC outlets and 2000W output that can power fridges, TVs, toasters, and even heaters. My Forbes review: https://t.co/tFsGrzYlck #ForbesTech
