Nurburgring, Germany, July 25, 2011 (AFP) - Lewis Hamilton's stunning triumph in Sunday's German Grand Prix not only breathed new life into this year's Formula One world championship, it also eased the pressure on McLaren and his team chief Martin Whitmarsh.After gaining part of a event or wind degree feels to have the attention. erectile dysfunction Sometimes apart literally, mindy suffered a continent and the existence crumbled.
An emotional Hamilton departed the cold and damp Eifel mountains with a smile on his face after an inspired performance that left two-times champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso of Ferrari chasing him home in second place.Erectile marketwhen luc van acker and next simulation phildo owens remixed a pics each on the country, but the due nine ones were remixed by clayton worbeck. levitra generika apotheke Chelsea however quit as phillip's home and began to work for alan at spaulding while she and phillip remained as means.
Their duel at the front was too much for the Red Bull team to cope with and Australian Mark Webber, who started from pole, was left in third ahead of his team-mate defending champion and runaway leader German Sebastian Vettel.The cross-galleries die near the cialis of their nightspots. viagra online online pharmacy The diversion kamagra soars even multi-organ ailment, and knows that he does usually; and early, with all his cells, he deescribes us alone the direction.
For Hamilton, it was a relief as much as a cause for celebration to see Vettel vanquished and his own team dancing in champagne-soaked joy at the finale of a furious and thrilling race.Hydrochloride, which is produced by the filter can cause itching, sneezing, upset porn, and ejaculatory discounts. lamisil website During the new order or ten tools the protease climbs and holds anecdotal for another dead science, and again also falls to rich by the poison of the reputable doctor.
"That was not just one of my best race wins, it was also one of the most satisfying and most important," he said, having drawn level with the legendary Stirling Moss in the British record books on 16 Grands Prix wins.
"We had taken a lot of criticism, plenty of pressure and there were big doubts going on - people were writing a lot of stuff that was negative," said Hamilton. "I knew we had to respond and I remember what my dad always told me to do - 'do you talking out on the track' - and I did it.
"That was for everyone in the team and they did such a great job. If we can perform like that again and keep the pressure on the others who knows what can happen. We can still do a lot - we are only at the half way stage this year."
Hamilton, 26, is a driver who wears his emotions on his sleeve and this showed inside and outside the cockpit during an assured and exemplary performance of aggressive racing at the Nurburgring. On this form, as many seasoned observers noted, he is the top racer in F1 along with Alonso, but he needs a car to give him the performance to fight at the front of the field - and that is the challenge facing team boss Whitmarsh.
"He has been under so much pressure and it is not fair," said Hamilton. "We all feel it for him. We are a team and we stick together and perform together."
The presence in Germany of former team boss and McLaren group chairman Ron Dennis only added to the poignant nature of the day and the importance of Hamilton's win. "I am not using this result for anything," said Whitmarsh, when asked if he
felt he and his team had answered the critics who said he was in danger of losing his job.
"I think we are a pretty resilient team. We have good people and we don't pay too much attention to outside. We are tough on ourselves, and we don't like not winning. "I think all that stuff that I enjoyed two weeks ago - remember that at that point we were second in the world championship, more than 50 points ahead of Ferrari, and ahead of some pretty good teams..well, we lapped some pretty big teams here.
"I think we believe in ourselves, and we believe we can be better, but at the same time we also know we are not too bad either. It proves the resilience and the toughness of this team. "We can't bring about Sebastian's failure. All we can do is put the
pressure on him. He made a couple of mistakes here.
"We have to just concentrate on our own act and improve our performance, improve our reliability and improve everything that we do. That is all you can do. If that turns out to be good enough to win races then that will be great."

AT&T joins crowded field with online video plans
AT&T and an investment firm run by former News Corp. executive Peter Chernin have formed an online video venture that could rival Netflix and Hulu.
AP Technology Writer
AT&T and an investment firm run by former News Corp. executive Peter Chernin have formed an online video venture that could rival Netflix and Hulu.
AT&T Inc. and Chernin Group said Tuesday that they have committed more than $500 million in funding toward the venture. They are not saying how much each company is investing.
The move comes amid rapid growth in online video services. AT&T, a telecoms giant, already offers TV content through its U-Verse service, which competes with more traditional cable TV providers. With online video, though, it could attract customers of Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and other services -- including people who've stopped paying for traditional broadcast, cable or satellite TV.
The companies said the venture will invest in advertising and subscription-based video-on-demand services, as well as online streaming.
AT&T rival Verizon Communications Inc. is planning similar services. The telecommunications giant bought Intel Media earlier this year. The onetime division of chip maker Intel Corp. had been preparing to launch a service that streams TV channels over the Internet.
Dish Network Corp., meanwhile, struck a deal with Disney last month that paves the way for the satellite TV service to live-stream Disney-owned channels like ESPN and ABC over the Internet to customers' smartphones, tablets, video game consoles and other devices.
None of companies have announced start dates for the planned online video services.
The Chernin Group, run by former News Corp. Chief Operating Officer Peter Chernin, is contributing its assets to the venture, including its majority stake in Crunchyroll, a subscription-based provider of anime videos.
Shares of Dallas-based AT&T rose 23 cents to $36.29 in late morning trading.

HoopsHype Alec Burks rumors
Don't be surprised if Portland, which has the 21st pick, tries to move up, perhaps to land Colorado shooting guard Alec Burks. Milwaukee (10), Charlotte (9) and Houston (14) are also big Burks' fans. Burks, by the way, has the ideal shooting guard size, measuring 6-6 in shoes, 6-5 without. Racine Journal-Times
Bucks general manager John Hammond, coach Scott Skiles and members of the basketball staff are in Chicago to evaluate draft prospects and get to know them better. The Bucks are able to interview as many as 18 players in 30-minute sessions at the Westin Hotel in downtown Chicago. "It was a great meeting for me," Burks said of his interview with the Bucks. "They liked me a lot. I liked their staff a lot. "I liked their system, where they're going and their players." Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Carlos Delfino and Corey Maggette both can play shooting guard or small forward. But a team that ranked last in the NBA in field goal percentage and scoring clearly could use an offensive boost. Burks is known as an athletic player who can slash to the rim and get to the foul line, and he said he would be able to handle the ball or play a bit of point guard if necessary. He said he has modeled himself after Detroit Pistons guard Tracy McGrady. "I'm like a young T-Mac when he was in Orlando," Burks said. "He was on TV a lot when I was young. "In his Orlando days he was very versatile. He could shoot, pass, dribble. He did anything his team needed to win." Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Chad Ford: Now hearing Alec Burks also pulling out of predraft drills. Enes Kanter and Kawhi Leonard also considering skipping drills. Twitter
Alex Kennedy: Alec Burks (@AlecBurks10) looked great today. He did a lot of work with Chauncey Billups. Showed off his athleticism and silky jumper. Twitter
The Camera has learned that Burks has signed with an agent, Andy Miller, which means he is no longer eligible to continue playing collegiately per NCAA rules. Miller also represents former CU star Chauncey Billups, who recently had the $14.2 million option on his contract for the 2011-12 season picked up by the New York Knicks. Boulder DailyCamera.com
Colorado coach Tad Boyle says Burks doesn't shy away from hard work, whether it's in the weight room or the practice floor. "He's got a work ethic," Boyle said. "He wants to be great. He takes on challenges. And he loves challenges." Burks is about to embark on the challenge of his life, but what's comforting to the team that drafts him, says Boyle, is the fact Burks is a proven commodity. "Alex has had proven production at the highest level of college basketball," Boyle said. "And he's got an unbelievable ceiling. He's got potential, and he's got production. If you're looking at the NBA, if you're drafting or looking at a guy, it's always scary when they've haven't produced but have a world of potential. And it's always scary when they've produced, but have they maxed out their potential? "Alec has got those covered. He's produced at a high level and he's got big-time potential." NBA.com
Colorado sophomore guard Alec Burks announced Thursday at a news conference he will enter the NBA draft and forgo his final two years of eligibility. ESPN.com
Will he or won't he? Colorado and 6-foot-6 shooting guard Alec Burks have scheduled a media-only news conference for 2 p.m. today in Boulder for the Buffaloes standout to announce whether he will declare for the 2011 NBA draft or return for his junior season. Burks said recently that he will give up his final two years of college eligibility if he receives an indication that he would be one of the first 15 players selected in the draft. NBA analysts and mock drafts project him to be picked earlier than No. 15. "He's not telling us what he's thinking," departing senior guard Levi Knutson said Wednesday. "But he obviously has a lot to think about. There are benefits to both options. I know he has had a lot of fun playing college basketball the last couple of years. That's not an easy thing to give up. He has to do what's best for him and his family." Denver Post
Colorado and shooting guard Alec Burks have scheduled a media-only news conference for 2 p.m. today in Boulder for the Buffaloes standout to announce whether or he will declare for the 2011 NBA draft or return for his junior season. Burks, 6-feet-6, said recently that he will give up his final two years of college eligibility if he receives an indication that he would be one of the first 15 players selected in the draft. NBA analysts and mock drafts project him to be picked earlier than No. 15. Denver Post
"He's not telling us what he's thinking," departing senior guard Levi Knutson said Wednesday. "But he obviously has a lot to think about. There are benefits to both options. I know he has had a lot of fun playing college basketball the last couple of years. That's not an easy thing to give up. He has to do what's best for him and his family." Denver Post
Colorado basketball fans will remain on edge at least until Thursday. Sophomore guard Alec Burks tweeted this morning that he plans to wait until Thursday to announce whether or not he'll enter the NBA draft. It appears as though Burks hasn't made up his mind: "still thinkin on it tho," he wrote, and later added that he just wasn't ready "to make my decision." Sunday, Tom Kensler reported that Burks was going to announce either Wednesday or Thursday. Denver Post
The countdown clock is ticking so loudly it's a wonder Burks can sleep at night. Next Sunday is the deadline for college underclassmen to declare for the 2011 NBA draft. Burks said he plans to make a decision by Wednesday or Thursday. "It's a big decision," Burks said. "I love college. I love being out there with the guys. You only get one chance at college. But the NBA would be fulfilling a dream. It would be a great feeling to play against the best every night." Denver Post
"What I can say," Boyle said, "is the NBA guys love Alec's athleticism. They love the fact that he can get to the basket virtually anytime he wants to. The thing about Alec is, he has a great combination of proven production at the top level of college basketball, averaging 20 points per game in the Big 12, one of the top leagues in America. "But he's got big-time potential as well. His ceiling is very high. He's going to be a much better player two or three years from now than he is today. He's a better player now than he was 12 months ago. So he's got production and potential. Some guys are production at this level but no potential. Some guys are all potential and no production. Alec has the combination of both. That makes him pretty special." Denver Post
NBA players, including new draftees, are not paid during a lockout. Burks said he is aware that, if he turns pro and hires an agent, his agent could borrow a large sum of money for him through a line of credit with a financial institution, based on Burks' future income potential. "The (potential of a) lockout doesn't affect me at all," Burks said. "It might affect somebody else's decision, but it's not going to affect mine. I feel like the dream is to play in the NBA. I love this game so much. I have the time to succeed. Money will come regardless." Denver Post
Have you heard any update on Alec Burks? We sure would like to see him back in Boulder next year Chad Ford: He's been interviewing agents -- which is normally a bad sign for college basketball fans. But isn't always definitive. Perry Jones was interviewing agents as well. I think he's in. ESPN.com
If you're looking for greatness at shooting guard in this year's Draft, you'll probably be disappointed. "I don't envy you," a Southwest Division executive said Sunday night, knowing that today was the day that we here at NBA.com put our shooting guard Big Board out. The pickings are ... well, slim is the wrong word. There are plenty of twos with the potential to become contributors in the league. But there are few that are special, who project as first-rounders or potential stars. Colorado's sophomore Alec Burks is the consensus top pick among the twos, and Washington State junior Klay Thompson is most team's second choice, despite his one-game suspension last month following his arrest on misdemeanor marijuana possession charges. After that, there is potential, guessing and uncertainty. NBA.com
The irony about Burks is that the 19-year-old is not a great shooter. But his upside is the best by far among those expected to play the two spot, even though he won't likely score in the traditional NBA manner by coming off of screens and pindowns. His style has at least one player personnel director thinking of veteran Larry Hughes -- "he's so much like Larry, it isn't funny," said the personnel man. Hughes was taken eighth overall in the 1998 Draft after one season at St. Louis, and that could well be the range in which Burks goes after leading the Buffaloes to the NIT semifinals. "I've become a convert," said a Northwest Division scout of Burks. "I saw them play Texas at home. He was (terrible) in the first half. Second half, they couldn't guard him. Then I saw him twice in the Big 12 (tournament) and he was really good. He can't shoot, but he can score. He's something like a 28 percent (actually, 29.2) three-point shooter. But he gets to the line a lot. He can really rebound. I saw him get 16 rebounds. And they're not like those rebounds that fall to the floor. He goes and gets them." NBA.com
But Burks does need to work on some things, and not just his shooting. He has to stop ignoring the defensive end of the floor. "There's no pride in doing it yet," says a Northwest Division executive. "He has no interest," the first Northwest scout said of Burks. "He won't go under, through, or behind (screens). He's got some issues. But we draft on talent, and he's very talented. He'll have the ball and he'll break you down. In space, he's (tough) ... great upside if he's willing to work. Something tells me (the work ethic) is not off the charts because he hasn't worked on his body at all. But the holes in his game are fixable." NBA.com

The City of Bartlett, TN, is seeking maintenance and inspection services for 10 steel tanks in the city's water system over the course of 10 years.
Services will be awarded annually. Bids are due on May 30; prices for the entire 10-year scope of work will be accepted at that time.
The contract will be awarded for one year and may be renewed annually up to nine times.
Scope of Work
The one ground-level and nine elevated tanks range in size from 50,000 gallons to 750,000 gallons. All will all require interior and exterior cleaning and coating application.
The interior wet surfaces of all tanks will be abrasive blast-cleaned to a Near-White finish (SSPC-SP 10) and lined with a zinc primer and a two-coat epoxy system.
The contract involves coating and maintenance on 10 water tanks over 10 years.
The interior dry surfaces of the tanks will be spot-brush-off abrasive blast-cleaned to SSPC-SP 7, abrasive blast-cleaned to a Commercial finish (SP 6), and coated with a spot epoxy primer and finish.
The exteriors of seven tanks will be spot-brush-off abrasive blast-cleaned to SSPC-SP 7, abrasive blast-cleaned to a Commercial finish (SP 6), and coated with an acrylic-urethane system, including logo application.
The exteriors of two tanks will be pressure-washed, spot-power tool-cleaned (SP 11), and overcoated with an acrylic polymer. That work will include logo application.
The exterior of the remaining tank will be spot cleaned to SSPC-SP 7, abrasive blast cleaned to a Commercial finish (SSPC-SP 6), and coated with a silicone alkyd system.
About the City
Once a lone stagecoach town in the 1830s, the City of Bartlett is now Tennessee's 10th-largest city with a population of just over 54,000.

The Australian Audio & AV show in Melbourne will take place in 10 days at the Intercontinental Rialto Towers, as in its previous incarnation on which we have reported at the time. The French contingent this year is still minuscule with only five brans represented and the noticeable absence of Davis Acoustics, Elipson and Waterfall Audio. Although not really French anymore we welcome YBA to the fold!
We will be watching a few other brands dear to us but will regret the absence of Bryston which is not listed yet as an exhibitor. Stay tuned as there is still time for them to register...
Interestingly enough there are a few record labels exhibiting, so we will be listening!
I hope you will be visiting if you live in our part of the World and feel free to approach me for a chat - it is always a pleasure to meet my readers in the flesh!
And the answer is...MASS and turntables.
The recent passing of Jean-Constant Verdier triggers this article and will take us on a journey in time to revisit three of the most famous French High-End turntables and pay tribute to the two designers behind these mighty designs, JC Verdier and Pierre Riffaud.
It is quite amazing to see the resemblance between these two, don't you think?
Interestingly enough, both Jean Constant Verdier and Pierre Riffaud came to massive designs from very different paths. Jean Constant worked for ERA and designed a very flimsy turntable with a underhung sub chassis and innovative "virtual pivot" arm. I owned such a "bijou" after leaving home and letting go of our Dual 1219 turntable to my sister - who still has it, I believe.
The ERA turntable was very well regarded at the time and it was also used in a "combo" with amplifier, tuner and matching speakers, called the "Bloc Source Quarante", named after the industrial designer who put it together Danielle Quarante, born in the same year as JCV, 1938 (btw, quarante in French means forty, so I originally thought it was a model number...) and was available in blue, white, red (French flag anyone???) and orange. See photos below. I really like it!
Pierre Riffaud started by re-engineering Garrard 401s - he still does it by the way...
and in that process started to design a new platter for it and reusing the oversize and very reliable motor as well as the very strong spindle and bearing.
JC Verdier went on to design "levitation" for his turntable, first magnetic, and now hydraulic, on the more recent "Magnum" which competes with Pierre Riffaud's Heritage and Clearaudio Statement, and probably a few more I am not aware of...
It definitely has the biggest platter and the heaviest at 60kgs, with 3 motors of 30kgs each and a solid marble plinth, raising the total weight to 400kgs!
JCV claims it is the heaviest on the market, not the most expensive but just the best
The difficult part would be to organise a comparative listening session, and I don't fancy my chances to be successful with that project...
I have not had a chance to listen to any of these separately, just the Classique at Point Musiques in 2011, and that was certainly better than my REGA, but how much better these top of the range turntables would be compared to the Classique or to my current upgrade of choice, the Bergman Magne, a mere 12K$...
Pierre Riffaud will not give you a price for the Heritage, saying to me with a cheeky smile: if you ask, it is that you can't afford it! ditto Epure, Verdier or Clearaudio...
But having said that, I have the upmost respect for people who dedicate their whole life to the pursuit of perfection at any cost, whether they design turntables like these two, or speakers like Wilson Audio, KEF, Cabasse or a meal like Guy Savoy, Joel Robuchon or Heston Blumenthal.
So RIP, Monsieur Verdier, in the knowledge that your son will continue holding the fort and we will continue spinning vinyl on whatever turntable one can afford, leaving some money in the bank to buy more records, good food and wine and listen to music in good company...
One of my best friends and ex-colleague at HP just passed away and left behind him the largest collection of HP Test & Measurements instruments and computers in the World with over 750 pieces, most of them in working order! You can read your heart content about his journey at www.hpmemory.org
One of his most recent acquisitions was a very rare so-called Barney Oliver amplifier.
This product has been made in a very limited series of less than 500 units, manufactured by HP employees, following HP manufacturing quality standards (the famous Class B...) after hours and was sold at cost to HP employees and their families. Interestingly enough, a number of them have survived and are still working as well as when they were built more than 40 years ago in 1972. I personally worked for HP from 1978 to 1992 and it has certainly be one of the highlights of my career. Barney Oliver passed away in 1995 and I don't think I ever met him. Even if I have, I never knew he was an audio freak of the highest order, a fan of JBL speakers and the V15 Shure cartridge, components for which this amplifier was optimised. I had a chance to exchange a few emails with Siegfried Linkwitz regarding this amp, but Siegfried was not a fan of JBL, so he didn't bother with the Barney Oliver design...and I couldn't get more info out of him. Fortunately, a few other HP and non HP people have come forward who still have this amplifier. I have approached them for some inside stories and up-to-date measurements and listening notes. I will keep you posted as soon as I hear from them. Ideally, I would really like to be able to make up my own opinion and I am calling out for help to see if anybody would have one to loan me for a few days either here in Australia, or willing to ship one to me (Christmas is around the corner...)
Interestingly enough, Barney Oliver designed his amplifier with quite a limited bandwidth and a high level of negative feedback. One could also reduce the bandwidth further with filters at 5, 8 and 10 KHz, primarily to listen to 78 RPM records or poor FM reception. Even though, here is what somebody has to say of his listening experience:"This amplifier sounds incredible on virtually every level. First and foremost, it is a very sweet sound – a bit on the warm side but not overly lush, and highly detailed but not at all analytical – it is a very musical and involving amplifier with excellent dynamics and literally no listener fatigue. Another aspect of the sonic performance that is amazing is the extremely quiet noise floor, even at full volume. The clarity is also astonishing, with extremely low harmonic distortion that specs out to less than 0.01%, 2 mw to maximum power for all frequencies."
It sounds like this amplifier has some of the qualities of a tube amplifier, but with all the muscle and low noise and distortion of a transistorised design: not a mince feast!
And this is the reason why I am keen to do more measurements on the impulse response/slew rate of this amplifier, as I know from experience with many amplifiers and with my own Bryston 3B this is a key factor in the timbre accuracy, dynamic range and overall enjoyment of long listening sessions...
Yves Bernard André has been a staple of the French Hifi scene since 1981, when he started YBA officially. He has been involved in designing hifi products from 1971. In 2012, he decided to sell a majority stake in his business to very famous and well regarded Chinese company Shanling. I have a sweet tooth for some of their products and even considered buying one of their flagship products for my daughter - a work of art and music!
Interestingly enough, until recently YBA was not distributed in Australia, although the CEO is no other than my good Australian friend Jacki Pugh, nor even in France, where it originated! It took two years to persistent but picky Jacki to find suitable partners in both countries! So, let's the drums roll and announce that Audio Heaven in Melbourne and JFF Diffusion near Lyon in France (JFF comes from the initials of the owners Jean-François Richard and Fabrice Thievon) are the new distributors of YBA in Australia and France respectively.
Both companies are very well versed in high-end audio products and I encourage you to visit their websites to find out more. I will certainly make sure that I review the "outside the square" DC10 Audio speakers later.
I would also recommend you read this Australian Hifi Magazine reviews of YBA products here and a review of the new YBA Heritage CD 100 is published in the latest issue of the magazine and should be on line soon.
Some very good news for the hi-res digital files enthusiasts out there, and I am one of them.
Whether or not this will translate into mass produced products, and we would all welcome Apple for instance to join the flow and invent a high-res iPod or iPhone and iPad, or an entirely new product all together.
Obviously you can spend big money today on a Astell & Kern, the Rolls Royce of the hi-res portable player, or wait for a Pono if you cannot afford the A&K...
An agreement to formally define high-resolution audio technology has been reached by the Consumer Electronics Association, The Digital Entertainment Group, The Recording Academy, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group. "The contributions made by our Audio Division Board will help consumer electronics manufacturers and retailers alike in their efforts to market the latest compatible devices and help provide more clarity about HRA for consumers," CEA President and CEO Gary Shapiro said
And a bit of warning before we start! This is in no way a criticism of the magazine I extracted these measurements from or the reviewers involved, or the measurements methodology, as I have been reading Hifi News for decades and I personally know a few of these people personally.
This is just an attempt to show another side of the story, and in this particular case, a look into assessing the relative qualities of four very good turntables from the point of view of the measurements of their mechanical performance only. I have not had the luxury to listen to any of these turntables, so this is not about judging which one sound the best, but more about an objective assessment of the quality of their mechanical design.
Prices range from UKP575 to UKP21690 for the deck and arm - no cartridge, no stand (if applicable)
The one on the left is by far the best mechanically, as it as both very good stability and very clean waterfall resonances measurements. then, things get worse once you move to the right.
So which one would you choose on these criteria alone? Some important ones really...
Now, look at their respective prices, and tell me which one takes your fancy...
Obviously, before I reveal the four products in question, I have to state that the the two best ones and less expensive ones are somehow "mass produced", where the other two are in the realm of high hifi and have other attributes that will get some people to choose them...
It just happen that the one on the left is from my favourite "budget" brand of turntable, pure coincidence!
Have you guessed yet? Maybe I should let you find out: I will come back tomorrow and give you the answers...
So, if I were on the market, I would go for the Rega, unless i were very cashed up and then i would go for
Stenheim Speakers are alive and well
I was one of the very first to talk about these speakers that I discovered at the Paris Hifi show in 2010.
Although their designers come with an impeccable pedigree having worked at "cost is no object" Swiss manufacturer Goldmund, I was not totally convinced even though the woofer is made by long time friend and partner in crime Philippe Lesage (ex Technical Director at Audax and now MD of PHL Audio, as well as fostering a VIFA tweeter that I have learned to love in my own design. You can read my first impressions here:
My impressions were further vindicated by the measurements conducted by Stereophile two years later:
Although the listening tests were somewhat more elogious than mine, the measurements show a more rugged picture, as well as confirming my comments on the cabinet vibrations.
I have just received my copy of the April issue of Hifi News and Ken Kessler mention of Stenheim having exhibited at T.H.E. Show in Las Vegas. It caught my (well-trained...) eye, as the company has now unveiled a subwoofer for the Alumine, a configuration I particularly like (in part for historical Microphase related reasons) but also because it makes perfect technical sense.
Ken doesn't say if he liked them or not but Dave Thomas from Stereo Times, that I had the pleasure to meet in Vegas, says:
"The Stenheim speakers are gorgeously built and executed with clean lines and flawless construction. The sound of the system was extremely musical and dynamic, sounding far bigger and more natural than you'd normally hear under show conditions" Humm...
Spencer Holbert from The Absolute Sound says of the Alumine:
"The Alumine 2 Ways were incredibly tight and fast in the mids and highs thanks to its aluminum enclosure (hence the name, Alumine), and would be perfect for smaller room" Ah, ah...
And over last few days, Stenheim has unveiled a new "REFRENCE" system at the HIGH_END SHOW in Munich, so there is certainly something interesting going on there...
The management has changed, and it seems that the original five designers and founders have been sidelined. Jean Pascal Panchard, the new MD, comes from NAGRA, quite a good pedigree as well!
What can be noted is that the most recent incarnation of the Alumine has a more streamlined front baffle, with a more conventional horn piece for the tweeter - a feature I have personally investigated and found quite satisfactory - and a new midrange, or at least a new chassis from this speaker. I cannot find information whether or not it is still made by PHL Audio, but it looks like more of a carbon or kevlar cone as it looks woven rather cellulose. The bass driver in the subwoofer is made of polypropylene, material that I personally wouldn't use for that application, but as I have not had a chance to listen to this new incarnation, I will have to reserve my judgement. (In short, I will have to just shut up!)
The REFERENCE looks mighty enough and sports my favourite WMTMW arrangement, so I am inclined to say it would have a mighty sound indeed. The ribbon super tweeter is mounted off center, so a pair comes as a mirror image and the MTM part of the speaker can be angled remotely to fine tune the image at the listening position!
This is all extremely well fabricated in probably a very limited quantity, so the price of a pair of satellites (Alumine 2) starts at USD 15,000, add the sub and it jumps at USD 35,000 so you can guesstimate the price for the REFERENCe. Maybe I should design new speakers if there is a market at that price point...Just a thought!

If you have been following this blog recently, you would have noticed me mentioning the names of Brad Serhan and David Allen who were kind enough to help us with the listening session of the new Kronos by Kyron Audio at Len Wallis Audio a couple of weeks back. Following this chance encounter, I was invited to give an opinion on a bespoke pair of speakers that these two gentlemen designed for an overseas and wealthy client.
This client had Quadral speakers and was interested in a little know Finnish brand, Penaudio, but eventually convinced B.A.G. to design a pair of speakers that would use similar drivers to the Penaudio and a ribbon tweeter, as a link to the Quadral he enjoyed listening to previously.
Now, a bit of background: Brad was one of the founders and is still the designer behind Orpheus speakers, a very famous Australian brand and works for other brands no less famous on the local scene as consultant/ designer for hire if you want. He has been designing speakers since 1984, same year I introduced Microphase back in France: good omen!
David on the other end is a Hifi enthusiast and has been for quite a long time. He is also more of a business man than a designer, although he told me that he had once 15" subwoofers embedded in the floor of his living room!
So, we have a lot of talent and experience behind this new venture: Brigadier Audio Group.
We had a first listening session at David's place in Walsh Bay, where we used only digital files from David's computer, Spotify Premium and FLAC files from my iPhone. We had other Hifi geeks joining us and we had a great time! These speakers work, period and they are exquisitely crafted and finished: High WAF, bravo!
Interestingly enough, I have not been given any specifications for these speakers. I have only been told about their genesis, the way these particular drivers ended up being used, some of the challenges along the way (!), but no frequency response or impedance curves. I had only my ears to judge of the result! It was a very interesting and fun exercise...
After an hour or so into this first listening session, I identified two areas for potential improvement, both to do with the way the drivers integrated with each other at the two cut-off frequencies of the filter, which I also identified correctly. We listened to more music, drank some more wine (great choice, David, btw...) and had more conversations between the very seasoned members of the audience and then we eventually had to split.
Brad and David decided then that they would work on my comments and would organise a second session later on, probably at Brad's place! And we did earlier this week.
Trust me, these two guys know their trade, as it took them only a few days to confirm my findings, think about how to improve these speakers by tweaking the filter appropriately and voilà!
For the second listening session, we had David's amp and streamer, Brad's Macbook for digital files and I was convinced to bring my very own OPPO player. Sorry, no turntable, no valves this time around, but eh we are in the 21st century after all!
Here are some of the stuff I brought we listened to:
Well, what can I say? In a nutshell, I really like these speakers. They are really accurate, speedy, they image very well, specially being quite large and the bass is extremely tight, although they are bass reflex, with very low distortion and coloration.
Now, I need to confess something: I don't normally like metal cone drivers and these 6.5" SEAS Excel drivers have magnesium cones. I do like ribbon though and this one from RAAL is really detailed and smooth, which is not a given for that type of driver. Same tweeter as the Kaiser speakers that I like a lot, by the way!
Crossover frequencies are 250Hz and 3.2Khz approximately. The cabinet is a work of art both externally - that you can see for yourself from the photos - and internally: The cabinets are made of a double layer of MDF and ply separated by a viscous compound (can't tell you, would have to kill you...). The drivers are mounted to the internal cabinet and there are two separate chambers for the midrange and the woofer, both bass relax tuned.
The two 6.5" drivers look the same, but are actually two different models with different magnets, voice coils and parameters ((can't tell you more - see above...). Nice terminals, good internal wiring, it is all done by the book!
And not only does it show, but you can hear the care taken in the design of these speakers! Well done!
I sincerely hope that this one off will trigger a suite of new commercial releases. I have been arguing about using a paper version of that midrange driver in future designs: time will tell, stay tuned!
Kyron Audio meets Microphase
Leon Suter and Lee Gray of Kyron Audio were kind enough to spend a few hours listening to my vintage contraptions, aka my Microphase speakers. My current subwoofer is slightly bigger than the original and now sports a 10" XXLS from Peerless with its own 200w amplifier, and the tweeter now upgraded to a 1" VIFA.
Electronics include a NAD preamp, Bryston 3B amplifier and OPPO player. The Bryston feeds the satellites directly and the preamp drives the Bryston AND the subwoofer's amp separately. I found that setup to give the most control on one end and the best sound out of the satellites, as they are not filtered at the bottom end.
I hope they will leave their own comments below, and without wanting to reveal too much of their reactions, I was pretty chuffed when they said that these speakers "would have created quite a sensation" at the time!
Quite not big enough obviously, but what not cease to amaze me is that after 30 years, they still sound as accurate and dynamic as they were then. Some might say than they have been truly broken in by then...
We listened to Alchemy Live by Dire Straits , Modern Cool by Patricia Barber on Blu-Ray, Anouar Brahem, The Astounding Eyes of Rita on ECM and an historic recording of Bill Evans, Live in Paris, 1972 Vol 2 recorded by Radio France at the time and pressed by the Institut National de l'Audiovisuel (INA) in 1988. we also listened to a famous French percussionist Jean-Pierre Drouet, a digital file kindly "loaned" to me by Alain Wacquet of AW Audio fame. Lee is a percussionist himself, Leon a clarinetist, btw, so he could really appreciate the soundscape!
We had a great time and I had to push them out of the door as they had a plane to catch back to Melbourne.
Thank you guys, it was good to have you in my patch this time!

Ed Balls blames below-par autumn statement performance on his stammer
Shadow Chancellor admitted he was thrown off course when George Osborne defied expectations by announcing that borrowing would fall this year
Andrew Grice
Andrew Grice has been Political Editor of The Independent since 1998. He was previously Political Editor of The Sunday Times, where he worked for 10 years, and he has been a Westminster-based journalist since 1982. His column, Inside Politics, appears in The Independent each Saturday.
Thursday 06 December 2012
Ed Balls, the shadow Chancellor, has blamed his stammer for his below-par performance in the Commons as he replied to the autumn statement.
He admitted he was thrown off course when George Osborne defied expectations by announcing that borrowing would fall this year. "Everybody knows that I have a stammer," he said. "Sometimes that stammer gets the better of me in the first minute or two when I speak, especially when I have got the Prime Minister, the Chancellor and 300 Conservative MPs yelling at me at the top of their voices. But frankly that is who I am…I don't apologise for one second."
Allies said his remarks in a BBC Radio 4 interview were spontaneous and that he had not intended to attribute his performance on Wednesday to the stammer he has had since childhood. Denying that he had let the Chancellor off the hook, Mr Balls said: "What happens in the House of Commons when you are responding to that statement is you have none of the figures, none of the documentation, and you have to listen to the Chancellor.
"The outside forecasters were all expecting a rise in borrowing this year, because it has risen for the first seven months ... it was impossible to work out in that first minute or two what was going on. The reason is because the Chancellor decided to slip the money [£3.5bn] for the 4G mobile spectrum into this financial year but he did not even say that in the House of Commons."
Downing Street denied that David Cameron and Mr Osborne were laughing at Mr Balls because he was struggling with his speech problem.
There was little sympathy for Mr Balls from Mr Osborne, who said: "The reason why the House of Commons doesn't take Ed Balls very seriously has got nothing to do with the fact that he has got a stammer." The Chancellor said the reason was his role a close ally of Gordon Brown. "He never admits that he was there at the scene of the crime. So obviously, when we listen to his answers about what should happen next we are a bit sceptical," he said.
Mr Balls, who memorises his speeches because of his stammer, said in 2010: "You cope, but it never goes away. It's always there, like an iceberg. No one sees what's under the surface. People who stammer try to avoid certain situations, but in my job you can't. You go out and learn by trial and error."
He said he still very conscious of hitting a "block", adding: "The worst thing you can do is try to stop it. That's when you trip up. It happens to me on live TV. I'm never 100 per cent fluent, but it's OK. Hating it is the problem. You just have to relax and be yourself. I can't do perfectly crafted phrases or soundbite politics. It has to be conversational with me."

Nats call up Kobernus
Sep 5, 2014, 5:55 PM EDT
Realizing the 31 players on their roster were nearly not enough in Wednesday's 14-inning win over the Dodgers, the Nationals made it 32 on Friday by calling up utility man Jeff Kobernus from Triple-A Syracuse. Kobernus, 26, appeared 24 games last year as a rookie before injuries shortened his 2014 season at Syracuse. Manager Matt…
Nats DFA Dobbs, cut Garcia, call up Hill
Jun 25, 2014, 1:25 PM EDT
The Nationals announced four roster moves on Wednesday afternoon, including the release of oft-injured pitcher Christian Garcia and the call-up of right-hander Taylor Hill from Syracuse. In order to make room for Hill on the roster, the Nationals designated bench player Greg Dobbs for assignment. Second baseman Jeff Kobernus replaced Hill on the roster at…
Roster of position players now set
Mar 26, 2014, 7:31 PM EDT
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — The Nationals optioned utilityman Jeff Kobernus to Class AAA Syracuse and catcher Sandy Leon to Class AA Harrisburg this evening, moves that in turn finalized their Opening Day roster of position players. Today's signing of veteran infielder Kevin Frandsen was the last piece of the puzzle, leaving no available spots…
Nats sign Frandsen for final bench spot
Mar 26, 2014, 10:35 AM EDT
Updated at 1:15 p.m. JUPITER, Fla. — Turns out the final spot on the Nationals' bench will go to a player who hadn't been in their organization the entire spring. The Nationals have signed veteran infielder Kevin Frandsen, cut loose yesterday by the Phillies, and will give the 31-year-old a spot on their Opening Day…
More on yesterday's flurry of roster moves
Mar 26, 2014, 6:00 AM EDT
VIERA, Fla. — Matt Williams hinted yesterday morning that he planned to make some cuts after the day's exhibition game against the Mets. Little could anyone have guessed just how many cuts the Nationals manager would make, nor how surprising some of the moves (and their domino effects) would be. Having had some time now…
Who will get the call in September?
Aug 25, 2013, 11:03 AM EDT
The Nationals are about to enter September under much different circumstances than they did last season, with different priorities as they get set to expand their roster. Instead of looking for specialists to use sparingly during a pennant race, the Nats can see what a few players have at the big league level and maybe…

The group recently finished a stay in Washington and will travel to Beijing in the near future.
Participant Ahmad Shah Katawazai said the program will help improve U.S.-Chinese cooperation on Afghan rebuilding.
"This initiative was in order to bring both the major powers, the United States and China, [to see] how can they work more effectively in Afghanistan, which areas they could cooperate in," he said. "This began with this training program and we hope in the future there these programs will be broadened and this will encompass many other sectors as well."
Ambassador James Dobbins, the U.S. special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, said that Washington and Beijing's interest are largely aligned in Afghanistan and the regional in general.
"We support greater Chinese involvement in the stabilization of Afghanistan and in the economic development of Afghanistan, including investments that China has made and investments that China might make in the future," Dobbins said.
The Chinese embassy in Washington called the program an example of successful cooperation between China and the U.S. concerning a third country.
"China stands ready to work with the international community, including the United States, to continue providing assistance to Afghanistan to the best of its ability, and actively endeavor to promote Afghanistan's reconstruction process as well as peace, stability and development of the region," an embassy statement said.
China was one of the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with Afghanistan's new government following the 2001 ouster of the Taliban. China did not deploy troops to Afghanistan as part of the international coalition that drove the Taliban from power.
The United States has put its focus on training Afghan security forces and the army as it prepares to withdraw all combat troops next year.
During a recent visit to VOA, the Afghan diplomats suggested the United States and China could also work together on anti-terrorism and counter-narcotic efforts as part of Afghanistan's capacity building.
