In the parlance of our times ZoomerSpeak, bro's speaker-to-everything-else ratio tho.

Drive to Survive but for Tour de France. I’m quite enjoying this. Helps that some of these stages are run on absolutely spectacular roads.

Is the plural of 'haboob', 'haboobies' or 'haboobs'?

With cute observance, I can say the listening chair's placement is slightly off-balanced.

Does Quad still make a DAC or some Quad-like equivalent? They love to make CDPs and preamps with digital inputs. To this day the most "musical" DAC I've ever owned is my Quad 99 CDP-2 (which is now so old it'd be a senior in high school.) Looking at their website, they have an "Artera Play+" model which appears to be a CDP with six digital inputs and USB. That sounds like the Quad I know and love, batshit insane but with a real beauty mixed in with their quirkiness.

Haboob arrived (in plastic wrap)! 🙃

The original Jecklin Float Electrostatic headphone wasn't much chop sonically - yes it had vast, bright dynamics, but at the expense of no bass whatsoever. Also, no-one in their right mind would wear these anywhere near a camera. They didn't hold a candle to any version of the Stax Sigma or Sigma Pro and so they were sold. The original ....and the reconstruction

^^^ I bet the one with Spice instead of sand is outrageously expensive! 😄

Some trumpet player or other with his home hi-fi (I'm not sure it was stereo) in the late 1960s. Photo most likely taken by Jack Bradley. I'd love to know the identity of the trombone player. Google has, and I want to be clear about this, utterly fucking useless in this regard.
