  1. Past hour
  2. I'll be honest... I am pretty disappointed with these times, quick as they are. If anything that reiterate why you'd buy a 911 GT3 over a 'vette. I think it was a mistake to not use professional race car drivers. For comparison, here is Jorg in the refreshed GT3.
  3. Happy birthday, Todd!
  4. Happy Birthday!
  5. Happy Birthday, Todd!!! Feliz día.
  6. Today
  7. Happy Birthday!
  8. Hope it's wonderful.
  9. Have a great one Todd! Cheers!
  10. Well he has lost his marbles... I must say though that I feel the same way for current day Stax, they just sound a bit soulless and appear to be lost. They came out with the L series... but why make those changes? What is the purpose of fucking with the imaging on those and the X9000? Take this SR-Alpha Pro (Japanese Gamma Pro btw.) I got this week, it was utterly disgusting when it arrived so earpads and headpad had to go and a lot of time spent cleaning them up. Drivers were perfect though and they did clean up nicely: They sound far from perfect but I'd much rather use these than the 007S. They sound more alive despite their limitations and the tiny driver.
  11. My take away is that we are circle jerking
  12. I've been watching Bosch, series about a somewhat jaded detective in LA. Pretty good; into the 3rd of 7 seasons now.
  13. Well, they certainly ran with it.
  14. Hey, y'all. Remember this thread? So, funny thing... Since moving to MV, I ran out of blades. The stack of Astras I bought in 2013 are long gone. I went through the small stash of Sharks I had earlier this year. Sharks are good for like 2 shaves and miserable thereafter. I will never buy them again. The box of Feathers I had (sharp AF blades, but very unforgiving) is emptied. The Personna blades, which are nearly as sharp as Feathers but much easier to control are doneski. It's more or less impossible to find blades locally. I called around to half a dozen shops on MV that might carry safety razor blades and got either a firm "no" or similar answer, or no answer at all (it is high summer here and the population is 10x that of the winter.) I'm going to have to put in an order this week. Problem is, I have several events where I need to appear reasonably presentable, including one this afternoon. Also, as I mentioned, it's summer and I find stubble to be insufferable in the humidity. I had an impulse to rummage through my travel bag and I found an unopened 5 pack of Lord brand blades. A Lord safety razor was the first one I bought. I (re)learned how to shave with it back in 2013, but I haven't used it since. The handle is too narrow for me to grasp comfortably. It must have come with a couple packs of blades and I forgot about them for a dozen years. So I did my first shave with a Lord blade today. Lord is not exactly a premium brand. TBH, the shave was great. Far better than a shark (damning with the faintest of praise), not as high risk/reward as a Feather. Maybe a step below a Personna. They'll do until I can order some "real" blades.
  15. Every time I listen to this song I think about how very barely I can, in fact, keep it all together. 🤷‍♂️ Maybe that is just the experience of becoming old, jaded and dissolute?
  16. Ottolenghi's cheeseball lemon rice with chile butter, which is very much as it sounds and is delicious as well. Served with grilled asparagus for a delightful vegetarian meal.
  17. Yesterday
  18. Pelegeya is like the Russian Floor Jansen - she can sing pretty much any song in any style and make it sound good.
  19. ECP audio/Nitsch and our own @dsavitsk is your man. His stuff has been bullet-proof for me and sounds so good I haven’t been remotely tempted to upgrade since.
  20. Hi Everyone, Just got promoted and my Birthday is coming up soon, So I’d like to treat myself with a new Amp. I've just bought a Sennheiser HD 800s Headphones and I'm looking for an Amp to pair it with. Please note the following before answering my question. 1- I have a Marantz Cinema 30 AV Receiver supposedly a top-of-the-line unit that has a built-in DAC. 2- I will mainly use the Headphones for 80% Watching Movies, Football, Sports & 20% for Music " Heavy Metal, Rock and Movies Soundtracks". My Question, 1- Which Amp do you recommend to connect to my Marantz Cinema 30 and my Sennheiser HD 800s Headphones? 2- Is the DAC in the Marantz sufficient or I will need a separate DAC? I don't want to pay over the odds, yet I want one that has the power to handle the Marantz and Sennheiser and blend well together. Kind regards
  21. These were made from 1985 to 1990. Here is a link to one guy's experience in rebuilding one of these. https://www.facebook.com/groups/242963289391919/permalink/2153779211643641 I've decided against it. Thanks for the input!
  22. This might be good:
  23. Man, this one hurt. I grew up 2 hours from where the Braves played and I watched virtually every game on TBS. When I wasn't watching the Braves, I was watching the Cubs on WGN. RIP, Ryno. https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/28/sport/hall-of-famer-ryne-sandberg-dead-spt
  24. NYT distinguishes itself. https://theonion.com/no-way-to-prevent-this-says-only-nation-where-this-r-1819576527/
