@shellylh - I love that you have an extra M51.

Setup a Raspberry Pi + Ropieee network audio bridge for my music room setup. Super easy to put together and works great. Thanks for the tip Marc!

I think you may need another DAC. #TheNextDinny

I've been doing the same thing Jim! I picked up one from Pioneer that opens up so that disk don't get stuck inside. Works well but man is ripping CDs slow. I've set up a Roon server on my imac since it is on all the time and got a 2 bay RAID 1 harddrive that is networked and is in the closet. Roon is fucking awesome! Love been able to steam music anywhere in the house I want! Planning to replace my Airport Express (ethernet to optical) with the Rasberry Pi + Ropiee (eithernet to USB) that Marc suggested so I can get hires in the music room. Today, I moved around my headphone setups for kicks (one at my desk and one in the music room). Decided that the GS-X mk2 needed to be near its cousin BHSE. Plus, it is a good way to procrastinate grading.

Got my pretty new PSU cables put in. I need to train the wires going to the GPU a little better, I'll do that when the new case fans arrive in a couple days.

Planning to take the extra M51 to my office but it's been a while since I've been there.

Wow...D50, old girl indeed!

No, that’s not Esmé, my cousin took that picture with her daughter.

So I went outside for a bit at lunch. Took my camera with me. Turns out that my trusty D50 turned over 10,000 photos and reset the counter. Here is image 10,001 -- not bad. Feel like the old girl probably deserves a good cleaning... cheers

What a nice idea, getting mine up and running, too.... Thanks to Marc from me as well!

Gave this a listen -- quite good! And wise choices, too, I enjoyed the sequence of Schubert/Berg/Liszt -- Berg's piece almost seemed like an interlude. Now: super mellow clean jammy guitars: https://stonerebel1.bandcamp.com/album/land-of-the-dying-dreams

I have the Pro Angler 14 from Hobie. Probably bigger than you want to mess with unless you want to fish and take people out on the boat with you as it hold 600lbs. Outback or even the less aggressive models would be awesome as a do everything kayak. I can cruise at over 7mph into the wind with ease and the pedals do not get clogged up with weeds like 99% of the other pedal kayaks on the market. If you want a real boat then Boston Whaler for midsize or Christensen for big ones I can recommend as I used them down in the Bahamas.

Holy moly, Shelly, your rigs are amazing. BHSE, GS-X mk2 and a Doug Savitsky special! I love it all!

Not bad for your first photo!

Decided to take trip back in time so I downloaded a copy of dbpoweramp and ripped all of the CDs that have accumulated over the last couple of years. Halfway through I also had to replace my cheap-ass DVD writer with this which worked really well.

Might just be time for a Mad Dog Margarita.

Salmon tikka masala with black rice. Used the stove top directions for the rice, came out a little ahead of schedule. Removed from stovetop, covered. Now, everything is ready and salmon came out perfect. Again.

Turns out the Eldritch god that lives in my table is more finicky about input voltage. Bought an AVR and have had no issues since then. Until it becomes displeased again I am sure.

I have heard of books on tape or CD but never on vinyl. That sounds quite cumbersome...?

FFS. First SME stopped supplying tonearms - now Jelco. Pretty soon it is going to be tricky to buy a reasonably priced tonearm.

Jelco Tonearms have decided to stop manufacturing. Several turntables use them as OEM suppliers so it will have a ripple effect. https://www.whathifi.com/us/news/jelco-closes-down-due-to-covid-19-and-outdated-machinery
