As I may have helped pause this thread, a few shots from a recent Amsterdam trip to unpause. First two iPhone XR. Rest Fujifilm X-Pro2 with XF 35mm f/2.

Qobuz streaming officially came to the US on Valentine's Day. Anyone else giving the 30 day free trial a try? Like the background text info on releases, etc., though that can get in the way as a player occasionally. Seems to have more releases per artist, though some major artists missing in comparison in Tidal, though that could be simply my preferences. Handles high resolution (24/96-24/192) differently (no MQA). Seems to dislike using the word "album."

Happy belated Grahame!

Thanks everyone. Hope you’re all having a fine day with friends, family, holiday films, and/or Fairytale of New York & Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis on the headphones.

Hope it was a good birthday Ken.

If you get the Z6, make sure to get this Ikelite underwater housing (even if you never take it near water). It's gotta have special powers.

Mr. Norbert Schemansky. You sound like you were the man.

Along a similar vein, it's been awhile since I thought of Klosterman, but after this WTF podcast just started...

Re: Zdac Going to attempt to use it as an all-in-one at work (possibly with iPhone/Lightning). Will arrive Tuesday. Purk, compared to what at $299?

Can't wait to see Apple's take on the wax figurine sex tape music video genre.
