x2. Already in my expandable sweatpants, just got back from a great low-key time and fantastic meal at my brother and sister-in-law's. Hope everyone had/has a great day!

Goodbye to an icon, Arnie Nudell......RIP. I can't tell how many times I lusted after speakers with his EMIT and EMIM drivers.....still take second and third looks on Craigslist and the like if they're advertised. Paul McGowan of PS Audio said there will be a website (arnienudell.com) honoring him. Well-deserved at the very minimum....

RIP to one of my wife's girl-hood dreams. And fuck Dementia....helped take my father-in-law too......

Wow, several big names falling.....RIP to Mel & Paul. And RIP Della Reese....

A new and better wording for RIP. I hope he does not rest......

Happy Birthday!!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

RIP Malcom.....your legacy is incredible!

Stretch and Dusty, 99+% sure I actually saw The Railway Children live back in the day, that they did make it to the US. They opened up for another band, but for the life of me I don't remember who that was....just that I saw them, and have a vague memory of liking them.

Congrats indeed! Wishing you both all the very best!

My experience ties with Wink's, both with 280 and 380. I was lucky to grab a used pair of 280's, where the seller's dad had put on a basic Canare cable via a 3-pin XLR jack (pretty pro job, looked like the connector always belonged on the cup). More comfortable, less grating highs, and some great isolation for someone who doesn't do so well with IEM's. And then the 380 came in and sucked the royal one. Thankfully I hung on to the 280's until about 2 years ago.

Happy Birthday!!

These are the best for Workhorses IMO:

Yes, way too young. RIP Roy Halladay.....

Browsing the site, finding some interesting things. Thanks to Google Translate, I now have a new build level to always shoot for:

Deepest condolences Carl and Bonnie....RIP Enigma

Interesting concept! Best of luck John!

This was back when i had power at my house....been 36+ hours without, and counting..... New Shpongle! Have to say, though, was a bit underwhelmed for the first few songs, a bit bass-heavy EDM for me. But they got more of that Psy-trance in later, so got better,

Man, I thought Fats was immortal! RIP.... And RIP Robert, my first taste of him was on "Soap" and I loved his character Benson. Went too far with his own show, but always liked him.

Makes me think of a phrase that my wife says to me. When she doesn't feel strongly about something, she'll give me an "opt-out" phrase. "Do you want to get the Doge DAC, or nah?"

Happy Birthday Marc!

Happy Birthday from me and Prog Rock Cat!

A work colleague from Amsterdam sent me a YT link to this young lady, have been enjoying several videos.....nice guitar work, fun with vocal beatbox and tape loops. A couple times her guitar loops and playing reminded me of Vini Reilly from Durutti Column.....

I've always liked Dan, too, he's a great guy and quite the character (at a post-NY-meet dinner a few years, he was regaling us with some great Burning Man stories). I think he makes very good products, and tries hard to keep improving. And while this causes issues with older gear losing value, I do not put him in the same category as HiFi-Man, which seem to rush out lesser quality products, only to introduce rev 2's shortly thereafter to fix the issues (and again greatly devalue the first series). I heard Dan's prototype Stat's at a NY meet, one driven by a BHSE, one by a Cavalli amp. The Cavalli amp one sounded horrendous; closed-in, limited in frequency response, just kind of lifeless. I discounted this, well because Cavalli. The BHSE-driven phones sounded more promising, but it took a high turn of the volume to get it going. I'll leave it to those who know the most to critique the products....but I DO like and respect the man, too. And Purk, if he can compete with the Stax phones, especially without going all proprietary, I'm all for that!

RIP Gord....knew it was coming, he handled it with superhuman grace and class. A sad day for Canada and the world.

What else can all us old farts who were in the computer industry do with our DB25 Serial connectors???!!! We have to find SOME sucker to buy them.....
