Great years. You both had great great years. And it's because you're really, really great people. I don't know, this is what people say, thousands of people are telling me. Believe me, I've got my people looking into it. It'll be amazing. Believe me. And your next 25 years? They'll be great again.

Congrats to you both! Happy Anniversary!

Congrat to you both. Al, you looked so young and respectable. What happened? d-_-b

Now *this* is a sausage (a Cumberland Sausage) Not for breakfast, but with a variety of things like onion gravy, mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, chips. Or all of that in a very large Yorkshire pudding. My mouth is watering. Oh yes - Google is your friend!

Big big congrats, Claire & Al. That's what we call here silver wedding.

Happy 25th!

Happy 25th!!!

Happy 25th Al & Claire!!!

Boards received and shipping paid. Thanks!

Well, 10Ah would mean 2x the size. No way around it. As for the new design, I hope the cold sterile Sabre sound has been warmed up a little. Otherwise it has always struck me as a stellar offering technologically way above the rest and at a killer price. All in all - go Oppo! I really like my PM-3.

Wow! I just watched a video of the HV1060 and it is too cool. I can't give you specific recommendations, but take a look here: https://www.servocity.com/ They are probably your best source for putting something like this together Me.

I like my Briggs and Riley for the money, but it is definitely imperfect. Rimowa looks very nice.

congrat, Jon!

Happy Anniversary Jon!

Happy Anniversary Jon! Fantastic picture too!

That's because they are the only men who listen to women. Happy Anniversary! I wish you many more.

I like Rimowa luggage. We have some metal stuff, which is cool but heavy, and we have some plastic stuff, which would be great. Extremely light, four wheels, lots of size options, convenient packing arrangement in two halves. Check it out.

Time for my annual Monterey Jazz report and this year was a good one. On the main (Arena) stage Friday night, a tribute to Quincy Jones. One of the great things about Monterey is the way artists join together for special sets. This was one of those. Quincy was introduced by Clint Eastwood (a regular here) and the band was led by Christian McBride. John Clayton conducted a jazz orchestra plus many featured players. Richard Bona (bass), Dave Crusin (keys), Lewis Nash (drums), Hubert Laws (flute), Alfredo Rodrigues (piano), Valerie Simpson (of Ashford and Simpson fame vocals) and the list could go on and on. Amazing set with tunes from Quincy's various albums. Saturday night Terri Lyne Carrington's Mosaic Project featured Lizz Wright and Valerie Simpson in a finesse vs elemental force duet that was awesome. Carrington's band has a horn player, Ingrid Jensen that was killing. Jensen made another appearance with Branford Marsalis Quartet with Kurt Elling. Another awesome set to finish the night. Sunday included a wonderful commissioned work by Wayne Shorter Quartet with a wind ensemble. There were other fantastic Arena acts like Pat Metheny, Celcle McLorin Savant and The Bad Plus Joshua Redmond but what really put this year ahead of many were the artists on the other stages. Bill Frizell, Christian McBrides Trio, Stanley Cowell, young Joey Alexander's Trio, John Patitucci's Electric Guitar Quartet, Dr Lonnie Smith, Still Dreaming with Joshua Redmond and Brian Blade plus the last band I saw, Joshua Redmond's original Quartet who played stuff from his early days and even a slow, lush version of Stella by Starlight. Really a memorable year!

So we can agree that we enjoy listening to the music we love, sounding as good as possible. I'm not much into "audiophile music" per se, but I must admit that it sounds great and listening to the beautiful beautiful sounds is an occasional guilty pleasure.

It's just a matter of preference. I'd like to know more about your view of "best resolution", because I like hearing everything into the mix, but I dislike that sense of artificial resolution which at times is produced by excessive low-mid treble.

Spaetzle und Kugel -- Not Your Average Joe's take on this very traditional dish, which is surprisingly...traditional (they usually have their own take on everything).

Thanks! There is something special about a GS that you can't really understand until you've handled one. I was pretty pleased with my old Sinn 103 st, even after trying out several blancpains, omegas, rolexes and panerias at different watch GTGs, but this GS is just in a different league from everything else i have ever handled. The overall finish and sense of quality is just unbelievably high! At first i was kind of worried about walking around with something so valuable, but it's been stuck to my wrist since i've bought it, and its not coming off any time soon. the poor sinn has been laying in the drawer for weeks now...

Happy 17th Anniversary to us! To paraphrase one of my favorite patient statements when I asked how long he'd been married: '14 happy years of marriage, and 3 ... not so great.' No particular plans today, but we'll have a weekend getaway in the long weekend in October.

I'd love the help I'll PM you. Edit: It will have a chassis ground. I've got a couple of ideas. Here's some renderings I did of the chassis. Pretty cool...
