  1. Can you just send the cover back for proper replacement?
  2. Travelers (season 2) - another good round for Netflix. Just wish there wasn't such long times between seasons. Glad I re-watched S1,e12 to refresh my memory. Probably shoulda re-watched the entire first season. Still, good stuff.
  3. Both of those speakers (LS50's & Cicada's) seem to have very different ideal amp requirements. Given you have two other systems already, I'd suggest playing around with some interesting tube amps with the Cicadas for a different flavor. Maybe add a turntable?
  4. RIP Daliah Lavi - actress, singer, passed away at 74 years of age on May 4, 2017. This clip from the original 1967 Casino Royale was just about the sexiest thing I'd ever seen during my young, formative years: I have no idea if she was particularly talented otherwise. But the fact that I came across this news on a somewhat random web-search, & seeing that she had passed away recently with little, if any (that I saw) fanfare made me a little melancholy.
  5. @Shelly - sorry to hear about the place. A good inspector that works for you is worth their weight in gold. Our inspector saw two, tiny, old, cut pipes barely coming into a dark corner of our cellar, near where the inside oil tank currently resides. This triggered an underground scan of the driveway just outside cellar wall, which discovered a huge underground oil tank. The inside oil tank conversion was done prior to the last owners who had lived there for ten years, and they claimed no knowledge until the scan. Long story still long, they paid for the old tank removal, soil testing (sale contingent upon not needing further remediation), & repaving. I am a firm believer that the right home appears when it is right for you though, so you have the right attitude. Good luck with the continued search, and have fun with it. @mypasswordis - so a woman was licking the window outside your diner booth, and y'all post a selfie???!!!!! #trueheadphonenerds
  6. Caught up with all three seasons this past week/weekend. Wonderfully scripted & deftly delivered. Fantastic performances all around. I love Lily Tomlin even more than I did before, if that's possible.

    Sony MDR-Z1R

    The Sony MDR-R10/CD3000, Qualia 010/SAx0000, & Z1R models are from completely distinct eras of Sony. They each represent such different (& pretty much opposite) approaches to a certain ideal that they might as well have come from different companies. Purk, if you'd like to hear an interesting headphone that is very reminiscent of the venerable R10, check out the Final Audio Design Sonorous VIII & X models. I heard them at CanJam NYC this year, & was left with more of an impression than from the Z1R.

    Not everybody wants the red pill.
  9. Finished watching the season finale (ep8) - did not disappoint. Peter, please tell me you are watching this. So many "WTF?" moments!
  10. ^This. Watching that show in the mid-70's highlighted my appreciation for a quirky, dry sense of humor. No one else in my family 'got it'. RIP Chuck Barris.
  11. Newegg had them new for $899 briefly a few months ago. Any price south of $1k for a new pair has to be the best value in headphonedom, imo. Used deals like tkam's recent offer is even better. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  12. Stranger Things (Netflix) - finally​ saw this & absolutely loved it. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  13. While there are options to select electric generation suppliers in a deregulated market, the actual distribution network is usually owned by one company. That's who sends you the entire combined bill each month, which has a minimum "connect" fee ($10/mo is not bad). Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
  14. Happy birthday Nate! Glad you had a good day.

  16. Legion (FX network) - two eps in & it's fantastic. Hope they can keep it up.
  17. Went to the Verizon store to check out the new models available for my impending upgrade eligibility in a few weeks. I was never so bored looking at smartphones in my life. So uninspiring. The most interesting model was a svelte looking flip phone that made me actually consider going backward technology-wise.
