    As far as the Swedish hifi engineer/designer of some repute, TinEye searched 26.5 billion images and got ZERO results. :p

    Those actually look pretty nice, and I bet you they sound quite nice too.

    Fun with hyper-cheap loudspeakers and a pretty cheap kit amplifier, too (push-pull 11BM8 for ca. 8 wpc). :)

    OK. I'll bite.

    For any of y'all city slickers who've never seen a turkey perched in a tree...

    I hit a flying turkey with a van. Bounced right off the windshield.
    A spectacular thud occurred but the Bastage kept flying...

    Was deer hunting in Northeast PA one year. All was quiet and peaceful deep in the woods. There is nothing more comical than a flock of turkeys coming in to roost in the trees. So (not) graceful! Sounded like bowling balls falling through the trees.

    It would warm Les Nessman's heart to see a turkey on the wing...

    Lucky for me he already has one exactly like mine except maybe a different DAC inside the DAC :)

    I been trying to steal his for a year now since he brought it up to the LSAF last year.

    For a review you have to look to Marvin as he better at it and does it for Mojo online!

    He simply said: "It will bring tear's to your eyes" that is why he wears toilet paper on his head now when he listens to music ;) (can't find the pic to prove it)

    Knowing Marvin I’d give up before even starting :grin:

    Looks like the antenna they built on my daughter’s middle school. They were selected to talk to an astronaut aboard the ISS a couple weeks ago. Very cool that such simple technology could make radio contact with someone orbiting the earth! They had a 9 minute ‘window’ to communicate as the ISS passed over Central PA. It was an incredible experience for the students.

    Nice!
    I'd love to build an FM Yagi like that -- but Mrs. H would probably prefer not to have it erected atop our house. :|

    As to the ISS, when the weather's nice & the sky's clear, I like to use one of the on-line trackers to help me find it and photograph it in that window as it passes

    ISS flyover 14 Apr 2016. The ISS is the fainter, almost vertical line. The line close to the horizon/treeline is a small aircraft on final approach to the local airport, and another aircraft is crossing diagonally & higher in the frame.

    Actually looks awesome, throw some pillows on it and I'd sleep on it for sure!

    But I wouldn't pay anywhere near 450 for it lol
