@skullguise @guzziguy I'm okey Sirs. Thanks for the concern. I knew that shit was going to happen somewhere, and stayed at home yesterday. Again government and the religious group's leaders gave fatwa against celebrating new year. So this happens... RIP all. I heard the silences of ambulances all night. So many young people died.

Yesterday, had a very nice evening with Grahame and Joanne.

I told Jacob about the birthday thread and he appreciates it. He says he can't log in.

no pictures, but I have a new favorite steak. sous vide ribeye cap, tied to a medalian, and sous vide at 117 for 4 hrs, then seared on a cast iron pan that had been preheated to 550, for a fantastic crust. Holy crap this is a life changing meal.

FTFY. **BRENT**

Perfect send off to 2016.

Drove back home to round out our week long So/Cal road trip. Left an overcast Santa Barbara in the morning but managed to catch some sun and lunch in SLO. Now glad to be home and putting my feet up. Add another 1000 to get the total. Happy New Year, Head-Case!

This is 2017, not 2016, guys.

An attempt at translating the latest Stax tour / interview: http://www.head-fi.org/t/829843/stax-sr-009-and-t2-successors-confirmed-for-spring-2017/45#post_13130037 cheers, arnaud

Thanks guys, surgery went without a hitch and her knee felt better the moment she woke up afterwards. She's a bit immobile but on the mend.

RIP 2016.

A surprisingly small one. There is a mild suppression in the upper midrange where you loose some "air" and the bass is clearly tuned like other Pro model Stax so lean but insightful. Their major drawbacks are just how heavy and bulky they are. Also the first ones are so uncomfortable that it isn't even funny. Ohhh and as I found out...stay far away from ones that have been serviced. Stax will turn them into an unlistenable mess which sucks so bad that it isn't funny. Now we all know that the SR-507's are garbage but those drivers in the 4070...holy fuck that was bad.

Thank you Arnaud, for the elegant translation, which is largely accurate, including the innuendo and hesitation common to the Japanese idiom. In reading the original Japanese, the only thing that STAX says with certainty is that a new amp is forthcoming, hopefully on sale by next summer. They are "developing" a DAC function in the driver, but again, nothing certain. The 2018 anniversary is simply a provocation, with no commitment beyond the wish to do something commemorative-- Comments on the 4070 were particularly frank, seems they'd abandoned them even before finishing production.

I need to track down that EP's 1988-1991 release, didn't realize it wasn't a bootleg. I have two of the EPs, but I think I need this anyway, because I've never heard Instrumental 2 before (and probably Instrumental 1).

Hanging out at a hospital about 30 min west... my mom is having some scheduled knee work on her meniscus. Tomorrow will mostly be helping her out with getting things since my dad has to work.
