I can only assume Netflix are trying their very best to get the series in the can before Clarkson gives birth?

Really liked test driving the Omega Tresor today, but alas it didn't make it home with me yet. But really enjoying my Titanium Planet Ocean this weekend...

with Prime they can guaranty next day delivery...

They lost me at Bybee.

Make another joke, I dare you!

Sunset at Cleveleys Beach, England. Pont Neuf - Paris 15s under Hawthorne Bridge.

I don't hear the Depeche Mode, but it's classic Killing Joke. I've listened to it a couple times this week, and it's a damn strong album, with Geordi's ridiculous playing style -- it's an ES-295, but a particularly resonant one, so it's like running the reverb before the distortion. Gives Killing Joke a very unique sound. Some really catchy songs. But right now I'm listening to wubworld's The Chroniclers of Ruuun -- dark ambient gooey sturm und drang.

Thanks all! Wish I could give you all a big hug.

Listening to "Buddy Rich, Very Live At Buddy's Place" Thinking how cool going to a Night Club used to be On Groove Merchant and worth owning

Much like the Apple watch I feel like we're in the infancy of this type of tech and that there's going to be a lot of churn, updates, mid-cycle refreshes, flops, etc. as the kinks get worked out. So after I tried a couple of the more expensive trackers (Fitbit Surge and Garmin Forerunner 235) I backpedaled and went with the much cheaper and simpler Charge HR. It's battery life is good for me (at least 5 days) although not to great for my wife (more like Brent's 3 days) and my hope is that it'll last a year - basically until something much better comes along and convinces me that spending more than ~$100 is worth it.

Right, if you are used to how the 009 sounds (and provided the sound agrees with you) and you move over to the 007, it will most likely sound a bit lean and "lacking" in detail at first. But when you are used to the 007, the 009 just sounds fucked up in comparison IMO. As mentioned above, how we perceive and appreciate sound has much more to do with psychological factors than our actual hearing ability. If you are mentally set on the 009 being the optimum for whatever reasons - which really I can understand, as it's the most expensive offering in STAXs lineup, has been almost universally praised to the clouds and also considering that many people seem to agree better with what I'd like to call the more "modern" standard of HiFi (bright, thin) - then naturally the 007 won't sound better if you don't want it to.... or something. And vice versa. But I'd like to think I know how an organ sounds, how a trumpet sounds, how a violin, a choir, a double bass and a female soloist sound. And I recon many 009 users do as well to some agree, which I what I keep scratching my head about. The 009 just doesn't portray those instruments accurately. Surely you can tweak the 009 should you wish, the resolution is there and FR is easy to deal with using a good EQ. But for the price asked, things should sound more right out of the box. Oh and about the punch, the 007 needs lots of clean power to really get that punch. Fed correctly it has bass that is as fast, extended and punchy as on the 009, but with more body and heft.

The VC.

Bought this one back last week, so I'm still the original owner. i prefer it on the NATO to the Omega 1171 bracelet, but the Omega shark mesh is my second favorite.
