In my last post, I talked about the yearly tradition my wife started of creating a custom advent calendar of beers I’d never tried before. In short, she picked twenty five new beers and ordered them by rating (in Untappd) from worst to best. In my last post, I detailed the first six that I […]

I think it’s safe to say that Tame Impala has been on a roll this last decade. It’s been an interesting journey watching how Kevin Parker’s signature style has changed over the years. It seems like with every album, he has tried out something new while refining what he already knows. Speaking of change and

In recent years, it’s become ever apparent that vacuum tubes have become a topic of much contention in the audio world. The primary driver behind this, in my opinion, is the rising popularity of “data driven audiophiles” as I like to call them. I would, in fact, put myself in partially in this group as
