A blog mostly about cheap portable audio
First of all, I'm blessed by luck and most artists who have done commission work for me remain really nice acquaintances, this means they are the first ones I go to if I need something, even if sometimes they are not the cheapest.I like them, they like me, there's mutual trust, and trust is very...

I enjoy a good love song, my wife often jokes about my rather unusual love for Italian and Spanish romantic songs because she hates them, but then I also enjoy songs about sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Hard to explain? Well, not really. I was raised with my older sister who loved romantic songs,... Continue Reading →
A visit to the doctor. I'm fat, to put it bluntly, I'm obese and I was always like this since I was a little kid. I blame it mainly on myself, my life choices, my old civil construction job and to a lack of diet education, because yes, one should learn how to navigate around... Continue Reading →
For most people changing their internet browser is almost a daily thing, after all, many of us use different browsers depending on our daily tasks.At work, I use Internet Explorer and Chrome, on my smartphone and Linux desktop I depended mostly on Chrome. Given the fact I depend a lot on the Google ecosystem it's... Continue Reading →
So it's that time again, and some people are already busy doing typical new-year promises and future goals lists. I'm no different, but I avoid promises I can't keep and my goals are rather simple when compared with most of the population. As life goes on, I just want to enjoy a growing relationship with...

I already wrote about online piracy in 2013, 2014 and also more or less in 2016, it's a subject I can't really discuss freely because I'm not anonymous, even so, I can share some point of views related to file sharing.The other articles are now dated but for the most part, you should read them if...

This all started when the brother-in-law of my wife asked me to buy a cheap generic USB to MIDI cable so he could update the presets of a Korg A3 performance signal processor. The A3 is mostly known for the iconic "U2 - Mysterious Ways" guitar effect and is now a processor some guitarists want to... Continue Reading →
Just the other day, someone asked me why I didn't write about my blog on other communities. First, it's bad etiquette to push your own stuff in the house of others. Second, I rather enjoy having a low profile on this hobby. Having a low profile means I can still have fun while doing reviews... Continue Reading →
I must admit that I got mixed feelings about reviewing headphones. My problem happens before I start writing, I feel like I'm not good enough to pass along my opinion in a language I don't fully grasp yet. This insecurity isn't new to me but it's still a handicap I often try to vanquish by... Continue Reading →
This is a follow-up Audiophiles please be nice online. Audiophile communities are an amazing way to learn about new gear, new mods and also meet some cool people who enjoy the hobby. Sadly those same harbors of knowledge can be really negative, some members ruin the fun for everyone, be it with constant entitled nagging... Continue Reading →
I should say that in the past I was very aggressive towards some of the bullshit in the audiophile hobby, these days I'm less inclined to attack fellow audiophiles. It's also no secret I can be very blunt if someone tries to shove pseudoscience up my ass, seriously don't even try it. With that out... Continue Reading →
I love backpacks, messenger bags, and bags in general. I admit that as a prepper I have a thing for bags, it comes with the territory. Before I got sick, I was using a Decathlon Tribord watertight backpack, for harsh Winters it's by far the best backpack I ever had. Sure it's not so nice... Continue Reading →
I started this last April with a mighty flu, which left behind a massive problem for my lungs. You see I'm not yet 40 thus in my mind I still think I'll get better on my own without going to a doctor. Big mistake and I paid for it big time! After more than a week... Continue Reading →
After I wrote my "Why I don't like Head-Fi" rant I went down memory lane and visited some HeadWize articles, by chance I also learned that anyone who buys the domain can request the deletion of HeadWize to the WaybackMachine! That's a scary idea and I know some people who would love to erase history as... Continue Reading →
Before Christmas, we bought a Barmat "Torre" wood stove because my house doesn't have central heating and during the winter we had to use electric oil heaters. My old house is cold and the "use more clothes" bullshit doesn't really work when you have 3 kids playing and running around, so we decided that burning wood... Continue Reading →
