LIKE Audio Federation on Facebook (please)

We now have an Audio Federation Facebook Page.

Now, with Audio Federation officially on Facebook, we need people to LIKE US so we don’t look quite so darn lonely. 🙂

We just added the old LIKE button from the old site to this new one.

And …. you might have noticed the number of Facebook ‘Likes’  we have is much lower now than what it used to be.

 

hand-pointing-up-right

It’s up there, in the upper right header next to the ‘blog’ link. If you click our ‘Like’ button here Facebook will know that you ‘like’ Audio Federation.

Well, there is a wonderfully wonderful reason for that.

*sigh*

Previously, the Likes were for Audio Federation, the WEBSITE.  Now the Likes are for Audio Federation the FACEBOOK PAGE. [Crazy that FB can’t figure out that they are one and the same thing. I mean, there are only about a  Billion websites who have had this problem. But no, they are just too understaffed and have no funds to hire a couple of more of best programmers in the world to do this little thing.]

You see, we just added Audio Federation to Facebook.

Yep. Good old 2014. What took us so long? Us? The geeky software geeks?

You probably already guessed.

Yeah, it was a husband and wife thing. Waiting for the other to do it. The other saying they were going to do it ‘sometime soon’, but never actually, you know, doing it. One of us [me] never going to FB and one of [not me] going there daily. But why would that matter in this battle of wills [yes, it was me who finally added Audio Federation to FB]

Spintricity was up there in 2009. In my mind that kind of put the ball in Neli’s court. I’ve dont it once. Not it is her turn. Not that she thinks this has anything to do with ANYTHING.

Before I get into even more trouble…

Please Like us again if you liked us before, because those previous ‘Likes’ now only exist in some dusty database table rows on one piddly disk on a forgotten server deep, deep in one of Facebook’s giant server farms.

If you haven’t liked us before, then please Like us NOW.

We’d really appreciate it.

Thanks everybody!

 

New Harmonic Resolution Systems HRS RXR Rack

These photos of the HRS RXR rack are from CES 2014.

They were [are] supposed to go up on the Ultimist show report – but time has been at a premium here lately.

So we’ll post them here, and hopefully later will get back and add these, along with a 1000+ other photos, to the Venetian part of CES 2014 show report on Ultimist.

The RXR is HRS’s least expensive rack. Though more modestly priced, it still has that high-performance vibration control technology that the SXR and MXR racks were so successful with. Hard to pin Mike Latvis down on what percentage of the performance of the SXR we can count on for the RXR – but that has a lot to do with its configurability.

The rack can use any one the 3 HRS platforms for its shelves. Or you can mix and match. As you can see in the photos, you can use their top of the line M3X, their somewhat more modest S1, or a basic platform that was specifically designed to work in the RXR rack.

The idea is you can get the rack and a few basic platforms. Then, when funds permit, upgrade to the better S1 and M3X platforms – thereby slowly building yourself a very high-performance rack over time.

Humor: slow tube amplifiers

We were just having fun at the expense of slow sounding tube amps; maybe you will think this way of describing them is as hilarious as we do.

Not sure why ‘slow’ is such an appropriate word for some brands of tube gear… but it is!

For each note is it like…

 

Hello!

I am a note. I am coming to see you. Watch out! Oh, yeah, here I come!

Don’t worry, it’s be soon now. It just takes me awhile to gain a little momentum. Feeling tired, you know?

Ah, it’s a wonderful day isn’t it?

Oh! Here I am.

So. How are you? And the kids? Wacky weather we are having, don’t you agree?

OK! Now it is time for the big decay.

You ready? Sure?

Maybe take a little nap. Feeling sleepy….

Well, that’s better. Guess I’ll be leaving you. Hope you enjoyed my stay!

 

Bye now…….

 

 

Are you sure you’re not getting a little gray….?
