Goodness comes to those who vibrate
Pretty fascinating. A good follow-up would be to inject viscous fluid into the ping-pong ball to approximate the egg’s innards.; alternately, an emptied egg could approximate the ping-pong ball, except its shape. Either would at least reduce variables.
Affected by every obstacle and self-imposed interference, WiFi is cagey and unpredictable. Wi-Fi propagation is far stranger and less deterministic than most people realize. Unlike a wire, where energy is largely confined to a conductor, Wi-Fi radiates into a chaotic three-dimensional environment where the signal is constantly being reflected, absorbed, delayed, refracted, scattered, polarized, and … Read more
Best “standard” lossless formats (real-world) 1) FLAC (best overall for lossless transport + archiving) If you’re sending libraries around, archiving masters, moving between machines: FLAC is usually the best choice. 2) WAV (PCM) or AIFF (best for active editing / DAW interchange) If you’re actively working in a DAW or bouncing stems: WAV 24-bit is … Read more
The brain does not operate on a single global clock. Instead, it uses multiple interacting rhythms: Band Frequency Common Role Delta ~0.5–4 Hz Sleep, large-scale integration Theta ~4–8 Hz Memory, navigation Alpha ~8–12 Hz Inhibition, attention gating Beta ~12–30 Hz Motor planning Gamma ~30–100+ Hz Local computation, binding The brain intentionally stays slightly out of … Read more
Dry, warm, throaty sound even higher-up into the tuning range. Speaks with clarity but without any shrill harmonics. 12-strand wires. This may help prove where “tone” actually comes from.
“In a world where artificial intelligence can replicate a person’s voice or face in seconds, Denmark is stepping forward with a groundbreaking proposal: a copyright law that grants every citizen ownership of their own likeness. If passed, this law would mean no one — not even AI companies — could legally use your face, voice, … Read more

Vacuum Tube (Electron Valve) Comparison Tests The BM Amps “Valve (Tube) Comparison Tests” page presents a detailed, objective analysis of various 12AX7 vacuum tubes used in audio amplifiers. Using controlled signal testing, waveform analysis, and spectral measurements, the author compares tube brands across metrics like gain, noise, distortion (THD/IMD), and microphonics. Despite common beliefs about … Read more

Vacuum Tubes in 2025 – Not Made in America As of 2025, the biggest suppliers of vacuum tubes (new production) are a small group of manufacturers — nearly all based in Russia, China, and Slovakia — with a few large retail distributors worldwide. Here’s a breakdown: Top Vacuum Tube Manufacturers 🇷🇺 Reflector (Saratov, Russia) – … Read more
Once Again Little People Life-Wasted by Monstrous Machines — Why Bandcamp’s Survival Matters More Than Spotify’s Billion-Dollar Playlist Machine Bandcamp is a vital platform for independent musicians, offering them a fair revenue share of 82–85% per sale, unlike streaming services that pay mere fractions of a cent per play. It empowers artists with control over … Read more
An examination of how power supply design affects audio circuitry and ultimately sound quality Great. I’ll conduct an in-depth investigation into how power supply design affects audio circuitry and ultimately sound quality, considering both objective performance and subjective perception. This will include foundational and recent research, and apply to all categories of audio equipment, from … Read more
Long before magnetic tape, magnetic wire recorders were a thing Mr Carlson’s Lab – “Another great video. This voice on the wire is from someone probably long dead. Interesting and mysterious to think about. A ghost voice from somewhere in time.” Voices are trapped in this wire, let’s hear what they have to say! Join … Read more
