Superb sound quality, especially for a live show. Barber isn't the only star of the show. The band is amazing, especially on Black Magic Woman. The guitar solo on that song is like some Allan Holdsworth shit, the percussion kicks in and none of it is lost in the crowd who show appreciation. Ex.

Apropos: "Why does Grindr always crash when there is a Republican convention or big event in town? Anyone meet someone (edit: that is openly anti-lgbt in words and action) famous or well known on there? Or just someone who is a raging Maga or Republican but secretly loves to have gay sex?" https://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/s/jkk5cutnzV

Yup Kpop is still in my feed. (I have not seen a live drone show yet, pretty impressive)

Abbott Elementary - I know I'm very late to the game on this, but it's now my go-to for a quick, humorous palate cleanse after some other intense watching elsewhere. Quinta B makes a quality comedy show. Eps are easy watches, and the principle is a special kind of hoot.

Sometimes I like to listen to silly music

I think I need to update my thread feed... It's this or Wagyu beef.

I don't know that I find much honor in his memory, however I find honor in his daughter. I don't agree with many of her policy ideas, but she stood up to Trump when he trampled the constitution. One of the very few that did. I find that very honorable!

I think to honor his memory, Liz Cheney should run for office again.....as a Democrat.

One update on my ailing SR-X1, I went in one last time and coated them again and that seems to have done the trick. No imbalance at all and just some mild buzzing from the driver as some debris got in there. I might go in and try to clean it but yeah... that's the good news. Now for the bad one as I'm afraid the X1's are not long for this world. So this was the first time I took the driver fully apart and whoever designed this needs to go and look at how Stax used to be made. I've never seen them do this before but the diaphragm is only attached to one ring, not sandwiched between two of them. So the spacers they use (also the insulation from the stators) are different from one side to the other. The side with the metal ring is very thin indeed, probably 0.2mm or so. I didn't want to snap a picture as the whole thing is so fragile but yeah, the diaphragm is hanging on 2-2.5mm or so of metal spacer and mine was already lifting off the ring as the PEEK seemingly doesn't adhere well to it. I'm sure I didn't cause this and it is very worrying as they have so small a support for the film. I have some SR-X NB diaphragms here and there they used 4mm spacers and glued on both sides for a much smaller diaphragm. That means the films are still just fine after 50 years in service which I doubt will be case for the X1's. I for one don't see an issue with gluing just one side as I do the same on my DIY drivers, but the contact area has to be bigger and mylar behaves differently to PEEK. Right now this set works fine but I'll continue to monitor it and I'd like to know if anybody else has had these issues. I finally got around to watching this and a few interesting bits, they are clearly still making 009 drivers as they were pulled out of a drawer in the soaking oven even through they are long out of production. Odd that they don't swap them out with 009S drivers as they have done with every other model. I did roll my eyes when only 30 X9000 drivers could be tested by one person... sure... why not I found it interesting that they test the drivers like that, as the reflection off the table is surely messing up the test by loading one side of the driver differently. I always thought they would slot them into jigs with microphones on each side as this way makes no sense to me. Btw. I feel their museum severely lacking... I know a few people who have a lot more Stax stuff in their collection than that.
