Just as a point of reference, how bad this has to be for me not to buy one. I'm a degenerate electrostatic headphone collector with pretty much every set ever made in my collection... even weird prototypes which never went anywhere.

It was mostly adjusting the design to different parts and the weird stuff were the PCB caps that Stax decided to use... plus the enlarged the amp chassis for no particular reason. In terms of being better than the 252S... nope.

@Spritzer. What's the weird stuff added to the Stax SRM-270S? Does it make it sound better than the Stax SRM-252S?

Um...Not sure if you're serious, so will play the straight man: The Birth of the Cool is the first of many of Miles Davis' seminal albums. AFAIK, it's always been called that.

Thank god they renamed it from Classics in Jazz: Miles Davis

A guy on reddit rehoused Alec 604e in new enclosures:

Meanwhile ... Ars TechnicaFCC abolishes gigabit speed goal, suggesting it is unfair...FCC decides 1Gbps is too fast, standard must be "technologically neutral."

This. and just to show the contrast of the passage of 16 years ...

who doesn't want to be faster?

Thanks Renato, really appreciate the support.

I'm not saying, I'm just totally saying.

Done. Good Luck!

The Queen...

My favorite Jamiroquai album... over time it's also become my son's favorite too

Always amusing to me that the guy in the band named “Beard” was the only member who didn’t have one. RIP

Godspeed, Frank… HS

Yes, but can your camera play DOOM? https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/retro-gaming/github-programmer-ports-doom-to-dslr-camera-with-3-inch-tft-lcd-display-canon-eos-550d-with-open-source-magic-lantern-firmware-uses-cameras-button-as-controls-even-plays-sound

Started watching Lanterns (HBOMax). Pretty good so far (1st episode). I've never been much into the comic book stuff (Spiderman, et. al.), but enjoyed Watchmen (movie and series) and am liking this one so far. https://youtu.be/7UIBOsuUwc4 Also watching Reacher s4, mentioned above. Dialog is still cringeable, but watched the first 3 episodes and still enjoyed them. Will continue watching.

working through glitches and continuing to make good progress, I’ve now passed the 50% line on my fundraising goal and certainly appreciate all the support received so far!

Unfortunately UK only, but…
