Thinking about getting the ATC P2 Pro amp for the Passive ATCs. Thoughts? Any other amps I should consider? I did consider a Paramount A21+ as well.

Nice Nate!

Hope you have a great birthday!

Let me know if you are interested in buying the Utopia. I have a pair I might let go ($$$ for new speaker amp) since I use the HD800 and SR-009 most of the time.

Diving into the 90’s music collection.

Sweet!!!

Nice, Jim!

Ribs and fried catfish.

Use a lift. We have a couple in our garage for Yumi’s sea kayak and Porta-Bote.

That would be awesome (but of course not necessary)!

Love the cutting boards Al and Nate! Nate: I got this front folding shelf for my Traeger and love it. Don’t know why it doesn’t come with the grill. https://www.bbqguys.com/traeger/folding-front-shelf-for-pro-series-34-pellet-grills

Mmmm, that sounds awesome Nate!

Smoked some beef ribs today. Working from home rocks!

Yay for doggies!!!

OK, the passive demo speakers are on their way so it's too late to change right now. Will see how they sound when I get them

Hmm, would love me some SCM50/100/150 actives but I am not sure I can really sneak that in the house without being asked how much they cost!!!

Would love some larger ones but $$$ and I want to keep on Yumi’s good side.

Sweet, thanks Jim! I didn't see the demo. I did also notice that they have a used version of the actives for $4390 (which seems like a pretty good deal for amp+speakers). I still like the idea of passives. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SCM20ASL--atc-scm20asl-pro-mk2-6.5-inch-powered-studio-monitors?cond=SCM20ASLU2 OK, I might have just ordered the demo passives.

Seriously interested in getting pair of ATC SCM20PSL (passive) loudspeakers to replace the Ascend Sierra 2 or KEF LS50. Right now I am using a NAD M32 integrated amp ( up to 180W into 8ohms I think) but since I have plenty of DAC/pres, I could sell that and get a different power amp --- maybe ATC P1/P2 or some other. Any reason I am not going to like it? I like the idea of having detailed and linear speakers. I thought about going for the active 20s but don't want to deal with having heavy speakers on stands unless it would really sound a lot better. Thoughts? http://atcloudspeakers.co.uk/professional/loudspeakers/scm20psl-pro/ https://vintageking.com/atc-loudspeakers-scm20psl-mk2-pair

The extra M51 is here if you are interested! The Brooklyn Dac+ is pretty awesome (don’t have or need the bridge) but I can’t say which I like better.

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!

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

Fine...

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.
