Wagyu top sirloin. This is thin and tender enough to just blitz under the broiler, as I'm out of pellets for the grill. Bad planning. Marinated in parsley, olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, salt, pepper.

Yes, I did, but have to unplug it and carry it where I want is a hassle. My cables are all 4.4mm it also look good :D, except that I do not have the digital printing, so I just touched it up with paint

Yes, I needed 4.4mm lol

I can not even touch my Mini heatsink after 2 hours on. It literally sits around 70C X_X Anyways, I found the brightness spikes and sizzling top was due to THAT340, as I swapped in the 3381/1349 and I got an observable improve in performances. I used Volume knob from Goldpoint which just came-in, the smallest knob, and she look awesome! http://www.goldpt.com/knobs.html

Listening to nopants amp tonight (Curve - Doppleganger). Sounds awesome! iphone -> Vox w/no eq -> amp -> modded T50RPs. I'm really enjoying this tonight... Pics remind me I need to clean it as I've been abusing it in the basement for a bit. Also don't have the heatsinks installed yet. It seems the top, etc. don't get as hot... I'll have to shoot some temps with my IR gun tomorrow. I know @johnwmclean doesn't run heatsinks on his and felt it ran just as cool.

I’m certainly glad that Madrid at least had the good sense to sack Lopetegui. Never really liked him and never thought he was actually a very good manager.

glad it all arrived! perhaps this was your mail man

current title looks pretty good!!

Dinner at Deviant's Palace was the book that got me into Tim Powers and it still has a special place in my affections. Last Call is his best work though. Fight me.

Obviously, it depends which aspect of Tim Powers piqued your interest, I wouldn't dare to claim they're clones. "Angelmaker" and "Gnomon" are pretty good, for example (the latter is significantly weirder, mind). Obviously, it depends which aspect of Tim Powers you like. Nick Harkaway runs the gamut a bit- "The Gone-Away World" is full of mimes, ninjas and monsters, for example. Very silly. (I love how no-one has told me off for suddenly reacting to a post from 12 years ago.. because BOOKS, I get excited, sorry.)

Prolly somewhere between rubbing alcohol and appletini

KEF - Kent Engineering Foundry. Used to make crop sprayers and agricultural machinery. It was bought by Raymond Cook in 1961, ex BBC and Wharfedale, and hence renamed KEF Electronics with a completely different focus - away went the agricultural stuff, and in came the loudspeaker designs. KEF went bust in 1992 and was bought by the Chinese. So it only existed for 31 years as an independent business. Design is done on HK and manufacture in China.

The Avalanches make the greatest music videos.

Of course it’s because I built my Hackintosh last week.

I am pretty excited that they finally updated the Mac Mini. Looks pretty sweet!

Today, with my father, took care of the shelter, changed carpets, installed doors and repaired some damaged places

Anyways, here's my 2 eurocents. It's really all about the features and wether you care to benefit from them. It comes with a 100 page manual and it's worth to actually go through it. Almost every aspect of it makes the purist stuff from most audiophile mfg's look stone age. You get one of the best digital volume controls out there, 5 band stereo PEQ, unique loudness compensation, dicking around with DAC filters, all kinds of X-feed and much more. It measures impeccably. I'm half sure that my Pro can give lab grade measurement stuff from AP a run for their money. As for the sound, I enjoy it. If you're used to THD, then it might feel too naked. I've heard people say that. Simple music like strings with solo vocals can sound richer on dirtier sources, the problem is that this richness gets in way of spectrally busier records like metal and such. And I personally like to feel that what I'm hearing is the truth, even if there's no direct way to know that.

CSO Mahler 3 Awesome!

Very few, if any, components in a computer run off of 19V. There are doubtless myriad switchers throughout. What is the benefit of a linear supply here?
