Oddly, wasn't interested in Tom Waits until I heard Black Rider in the early 90s - its the soundtrack from some German (I think) theatrical production - not his best, but my favourite.

Not sure on the stat amps, but the GRLV is an excellent LV supply, and a step up from others such as Amb's sigma22, etc.

Well it's old news but I recently got a huge tattoo on my back Tyr from forgotten realms:

RIP Mr. Lugosi

I am back to using the Oppo 105 as my do-everything workhorse. I really didn't hear that much of a difference between the Oppo and the Yggy and the Oppo just does so much more feature-wise. 90% of my listening these days is Tidal streaming and I can do it right on the Oppo and control it from Oppo's mobile/tablet apps. Is the sound quality as good as Vinyl or DSD rips? No. But I end up listening to so much music I'd never otherwise buy so I can't see myself doing anything but streaming going forward.

Summer league is, of course, a true Nostradamus. I found it hilarious that Lonzo played better not wearing those awful shoes.

A neutral leather conditioner cream would work just fine, for basic maintenance. Regular shoe polish is likely to build up on the surface, so I would avoid it. A lot of people swear by Saphir, but I have had great results with cheap-as-chips Meltonian on shell (I have several pairs of shell shoes though, admittedly, they are all no. 8), so I would expect it to work great on Chromexcel, too. You can also use colored cream: Chromexcel isn't as scratch resistant as shell, of course, so maybe a colored cream is a good idea, if you want them looking "new-ish." Then again, the pull-up is one of the charms of Chromexcel, so, again, I say start with a neutral cream, and see how that does it for you. It's been four years, so I don't know if you still need it, but I sent a pair of late 60s J&M full-brogue black wingtips to NuShoe (a cheap eBay find, rare in 12EEE), and they came back in wonderful kit. If I didn't have a pair of Church's in black, I'd wear them often (and if I didn't have a pair of Bally Goodyear welted wingtips, in black, I'd wear the Church's). Nothing wrong with the vintage J&Ms, the Church's just fit me better (perfectly compared to very well, and the Bally pair is even better, and are better shoes than either). It wasn't cheap (I did the executive package), but they did an excellent job. Included shoe bags and trees cut for the specific pair of shoes.

HD800 is anything but flat sounding. That treble is outpeaked only by Beyer T1.

RIP Martin Landau. Too many to mention.

RIP Mr. Landau. You carried Mission Impossible and were the main reason I tuned in every week. Well you and your wife, Barbara Bain, of course.
