We got a puppy!!! Bailey is so sweet and gives little kisses. IMG_6388.mov

My thinking is, that if I buy another one, then my 'price per unit' gets a lot better. right? right?.. eeahh?

It’s worth reposting…

#1 stocking stuffer idea! Or if you prefer Open Box deals only $629.10 https://www.adorama.com/Als.Mvc/nspc/Product/GetUsedWaysToSave?productVersion=1664&lcuVersion=279650&SKU=IFIMIDSDF&PageType=productPage&type=Used

I loved Paper Moon so much when it came out, and that's what I think of most when I think of either Ryan or Tatum. Although I kinda had a crush on Tatum in the Bad News Bears, and thought she was really hot by Little Darlings. RIP Ryan

I approve of this message! And of her creamy, Irish heritage.

While my wife's sister and her husband are up helping their daughter (she just had her second child, a boy!), we are dog-sitting for their dog Mia. Super cute and sweet Mini Goldendoodle. She loves her own "pets." Also posting a pic here for amusement....it's like DOTU moved to Maine 😄

SO freaking cute! Congrats to you and Yumi!

Yes. It it based on a spreadsheet implementation of a model in a National Semi databook. But with more frequency data points, and with amplifier noise taken into account. And yes, you can always parallel opamps, summing their outputs via 10 ohm resistors. But even a single NE5534A is less than 2.5dB worse than the SNR with a noiseless amp (which is -80.4dB - depending on cartridge R and L) - so it is diminishing return. Parallel two NE5534A and you get to 1.6dB - so all you have found is 0.7dB in SNR. Parallel 4 and you find another 0.4dB and hence get to around 1dB of a noiseless amp.

Correct, plus backup to whichever one gets run over.

wow, I might need a second at that price!

You weren't kidding. It's now $300. iFi AUDIO micro iDSD Finale - $299.

Happy Belated Todd - sorry I missed it in real time. -- Cheers.

Some Auralex or similar foam speaker risers could be good for this setup. It would be good for the KEFs generally and also to separate all three speakers from the surface to minimize vibration on the turntable.

I used to love sitting aisle but lately window has been calling my name. Love seeing cool stuff from the air. Rainier, Shasta, a few of SF and Mt. Hood.

I'm doing some changes in my toy room. I need to move a pile of amps.... it's a nightmare 😫

the tour? I can start one if there's still interest

So long Ryan https://people.com/tatum-oneal-speaks-out-about-late-father-ryan-oneal-death-8413778
