  1. In for sample pair. I tried out the bass adjustment cable at RMAF after VPI mentioned liking it on a pair of his JH customs. I definitely think it has its place, and like Justin, I think it's useful. I know we all want "the most accurate reproduction possible" and blah blah blah. That's going to be subjective, I'd say, unless we were actually the ones recording it, but I'm more into "I just want something that's fun and sounds good" these days, and if you have something that can blur those lines depending on mood, I'm all for it.
  2. Just saw one of these pop up in my feed with Matthew McConaughey, which looks like it was episode 2. Will try to check this out; agree about the concept.
  3. This thread hasn't been updated during COVID. Time to bump it. I expect pix by Friday.
  4. https://www.amazon.com/Guardians-Galaxy-Vol-Awesome-Cassette/dp/B071HJ41VR/ If you can help me steal liberate a couple Nakamichis from a storage facility in the greater Chicago area, we can both listen!
  5. Eighth? What happened to that other one that you bumped off for me about 6 years ago to make me 7th? Am I shrinking, or is it just the kids eating chicken nuggets with growth hormones that accellerated their height. Perhaps they needed a little more to get over the "wall"? Thanks everyone! Had a pretty good day, even if I wasn't feeling that great/was trapped (mostly) indoors. The fam got me a gift that arrived a day late. They couldn't get the one I've been wanting for years, but I think this should do just fine, and help me get started on a better path.
  6. Dammit. All you people getting the Grados out of storage are making me want to run to the office and get my HF-2s (and probably get some linseed oil to get my probably-disintegrated pads off/changed.
  7. I've found that with USB mics, they work best (or at all) out of a USB2.0 port. USB3 seems to fuck with it. May want to do a non-blue one.
  8. Needs most lights; I can't see how dark it is in there...
  9. I hate agreeing with Graham, so I'm just going to say that he agreed with me, just a hair earlier.
  10. Stretch, This is Head-Case. Soundproof his room. You're welcome, Another dad with a gamer next door
  11. Just came to share the same. RIP, Little Richard
  12. RIP Roy Horn, 75, of Sigfried and Roy fame, lost to complications from COVID-19. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/08/obituaries/roy-horn-dead-covid.html
  13. Did some research; 2012 had 320, and Tidal came over in 2014, so 93% chance I heard 320 vs FLAC. Think that was pre-MQA/Masters by a bit.
  14. Interesting. I was using IEMs (Dita The Answer) out of a Pico Slim back when Tidal came out. I'd say I could tell with over half. I still have both, but use Tidal about 80% of the time. There is a site/service that lets you bring playlists over, and what I largely listen to on Spotify is a certain playlist. (It was easier on data when I was commuting as well; networks got bogged down some on the commutes home.)
  15. You are doing biscuits incorrectly, I do believe.
  16. Got those Hawaiian rolls. Can recommend.
  17. No worries, n8. Just make it part of your homeschooling syllabus! In case it helps you get started, I reheated some things: Bag juice + SBR's Sweet 'n' Spicy reduction, with some cayenne added for a kick Now I need to get some King's Hawaiian rolls to make some pulled pork sliders.
  18. Heh, I think I'm about to go heat some up. You know, you could always just take the frozen shoulder, throw it in a bag and '-vide it for ~24, throw it in the fridge, and then finish with a smoke when you're ready.
  19. Sous-vide pulled pork Tried doing a reduction with bag juice and BBQ sauce. Not the best, but can try other combos. 21hrs @ 165° then 1.5hrs at 300° in the oven. So many leftovers; think tacos shall be in order for tomorrow.
  20. Danzig - Danzig Sings Elvis This... this is... interesting.
  21. RIP Art Dudley, of Stereophile and The Absolute Sound ~fame, after a short battle with metastatic cancer. https://www.stereophile.com/content/art-dudley-rest-peace
  22. SNL did a tribute to Hal Willner. I cried through most of it, knowing some of the history. RIP, Hal.
  23. I have had Tidal since around the time it came out in the states. I tried it back and forth with Spotify years ago, and Tidal won hands down SQ wise for me. Works on whichever device I have, and if I want to do something dumb and complicated, I'll listen to vinyl. My HDD full of gigs of music is at Doug's, and I think about it maybe 1-2 times/yr over the past 4 years. I'd probably just throw whichever vintage laptop you have on hand in with the DAC and enjoy the beautiful, beautiful music.
