Yeah, that is not cool.

^That there is the problem. You probably need 2000 days of burn in...

In theory... although I can't ship/lift anything right now because of a bicep strain. Also, there is the 0.5% chance that a bed bug crawled in them and has been hiding out for the last 6 months.

The problem is that I don't have an amp for them and that would certainly make them quite a bit more expensive. The Quads have been sitting unused for quite a while. I keep having problems with them. The balanced and unbalanced connections seems to be loose on one of the speakers. This was after I already had Colin fix the poor connection to the tweeter when he was here a year ago. After having the problems and hum I have had with these, I would certainly not buy any more Quad stuffs. I am using Airmotiv 4s on the desktop right now which are actually pretty good.

Happy Birthday Ben!

After seeing this and reading about the LS50, I really want a pair.

Since I'm tired and irritable after waiting in a long at customs... sich verpissen

Very cool, Dusty!

Sweet! I don't need another amp... that's what I'm going to keep telling myself.... at least for now.

This site put the Momentum under Audiophile and Reference/Monitoring... so yeah...

Happy Birthday Brent!!!

I think you did the right thing - to post a response (to the homophobic cousin). I am glad that some other family members are backing you up.

Happy Birthday Raffy!!!

Wait, haven't you lived in TX? You think 86 is hot? That is pretty much my favorite temperature.

^This!

How did I miss this before? Hell yeah!!!!!!!

It does seem to be using it for the actual streaming. http://pansentient.com/2011/04/spotify-technology-some-stats-and-how-spotify-works/ http://www.csc.kth.se/~gkreitz/spotify-p2p10/

Aren't you in med school CJ? You should know better. That sucks though. Speaking of injuries and taking NSAIDS, I went to the orthopedist today to find out what is wrong with my bicep. It has been hurting/inflamed for the last 3+ weeks (the massage therapist injured it while I was getting a massage). I've already seen my GP but wanted a second opinion since it is not getting better and it is the bicep where I have bicep tendonitis. They think it is just a bad bruise and are sending me back to PT for a month. This news is certainly much better than a tear but still frustrating that it isn't better yet. I'm tired of being old and injured and tired of not being able to work out at the gym. Luckily I have a topical NSAID now (Voltaren Gel) so I won't end up like CJ.

Thanks Grahame!

I am confused, I thought the Triode software was for Logitech players. Are there any 3rd party Spotify streaming apps for Mac (that would not be PTP and would stream at 320)? I want to stream from my office/home computer which is where I do most of my listening. I am fine with 160 on my phone. Perhaps I should try out google play. Is all there steaming at 320?

I don't want to use the Spotify desktop app because it uses PTP instead of streaming from the server- so I was trying out the web player. I have a premium membership for now.

^I meant the web player, not the desktop player. I am guessing there is no way to stream at 320kbps with the web player. There is nothing you can change in the settings.

Does anyone know how to change the streaming qualify on the spotify web player? According to this, the web player streaming default is ~160 kbps. I would prefer to not use the desktop player until it is no longer PTP. Edit: This seems to imply that the highest quality streaming one can do with the web based player is 160 kbps. Ugh, so frustrating. https://support.spotify.com/us/learn-more/faq/#!/article/What-bitrate-does-Spotify-use-for-streaming/?in=search Why in the world would you allow higher quality streaming on ios and android devices than you do for the web based player???
