    Tariff implications.........

    I have not purchased new jeans in many years. When I did they were JCPenneys' Arizona and St. John's Bay brands. Now their Arizona brand men's jeans are on sale $28-$32.

    Tariff implications.........

    As the clothing manufacturer I mentioned in my previous post stated, most Americans are used to and want $25 jeans. Dearborn Denim jeans are $75. When we outsourced heavy manufacturing we also outsourced all the pollution that it generates. I started my environmental career at the beginning of...

    Tariff implications.........

    I suppose the industry is in flux and has not figured out what to do yet. Remember, each step in the distribution process once a product reaches a country is subject to % markups by distributors, retailers, etc. If each one adds their standard % on top of the increased tariff that makes...

    Clarisys Atrium

    The interview with Florian Wiegand explains the new design, adjustment options provided, and modular replacement of drivers for updating and repair. I have attended many audio shows. It wasn't the equipment that I saw and heard that impressed me the most. It was the people behind the equipment...

    Southwest Audiofest 2025

    There is a downside to constant innovation and improvement. I would hate to spend half a gazillion dollars on speakers only to have major design changes happen a few months later. Yes, I know upgrades would be available at one-fourth a gazillion dollars.

    Visit to Magico

    I am not familiar with the new audition room. My visit was when an older room was in use. It was acoustically treated to the "max". I thought it very strange listening to " just speakers" instead of a speaker/room system. Alon told me that was the purpose of the room--to evaluate the speaker...

    Visit to Magico

    What impressed me when I toured the Magico factory was how much attention was paid to all the internal parts we don't see. Critical components were polished to a jewelry finish and carefully arranged in trays ready for installation. They weren't tossed in a dirty bin. Everything mattered.

    My New Ride

    My last road bike was an all Campy Record titanium Merlin with a carbon fork. A great ride. I miss how it danced underneath me but I don't miss the sore everything when I rode it. I have been 'bent for many years. Now I can ride back-to-back days.

    My New Ride

    While researching how much to ask for my total custom Bacchetta Giro, I saw some shockingly low prices on craigslist. Some were beat up but others were in very good condition. Motor-assist is also an option but a more expensive one. But a great solution for someone with limited physical ability...

    My New Ride

    This is my local dealer. When I pick up my ride I will count the number of trikes he has on the showroom floor. I bet he has at least 24. https://laidbackcycles.com/ Saw this bad boy suitable for monster trike rallys.
