    Yesterday died someone who probably you never heard of, the spanish jazz saxophonist Pedro Iturralde at 91. He wasn't a top ten player, but he did a lot for jazz in Spain in the dark ages. He recorded a few enjoyable albums, one of them was Flamenco Jazz (it had part1 and part2).

    You can pay a listen in any of the popular streaming platforms of your choice. Or just this tune

    RIP, Pedro

    Listening through speaker rig via Tidal HIFI. RIP, Pedro.

  5. What Headphones Do You Actually Use?

    Honestly I got tired of how fiddly the K1000 is. Has to be positioned just right to sound best, and I tend to move a lot while I'm listening to music and vibing. S'why I sold my last pair, just isn't compatible with how I am despite how nice they sound.

    Sounds like you may benefit from this.

  6. New KEF LS50 Meta & LS50 Wireless II

    I've never heard the originals in a proper environment. The KEF dealer in Winnipeg is mostly a mass-market place, selling lots of Polk speakers, and TVs and car stereos etc. I asked to hear the LS50s and the sales guy turned them up as loud as the amp would go, because volume is the most important thing. The entire store was too loud for a proper audition anyway. They're on sale for $900 Cdn right now, which is the cheapest I've seen them.

    I'd have a hard time passing them up at 900$ CDN. That's what, 420$ USD? Maybe 666$?

    @cetoole has them set up with an SVS sub and I've spent multiple hours listening; I am a fan.

    I did get a nice discount. Found a new pair for $139.00. Remember, gay guys are pros at shopping!

    That's $61.00 off of retail.

    I probably could have gotten it 8$ more off of retail, but that's just b/c I'm even better. But yeah, great price; curious as to what you think. I love sunglasses and sound, and if only my head were 37% smaller, I'd do it.

    Well don't touch the asphalt... just skid with the rear wheel locked for 60m at 50km/h.

    I have already ordered the spare parts but I have fallen in love with a nice Bianchi frame. Now I just have to convince my wife ... and my bank account 🙂 

    Sounds like you should probably get the spare parts for the above, and then go ahead and order a complete of that Bianchi. Can't know if it was better without just hopping off one onto the other, right.

    Wife should understand...

    The Wilson Watt Puppies usually went for around $10-11K so that was a pretty good deal for a $500 pair of speakers.

    My jaw literally dropped when I saw that!

    Don’t you normally need a spacer when you are using a 10 speed drivetrain on 11 speed wheels?

    I just know I can't get it tight enough to not have just enough play to make shifting less precise.

    R8000 should be 11spd, right?
