[And now what did you do TODAY?]

For our first real outing in a very long time, we spent the afternoon in Northampton. Ate falafel on the street, listened to a church choir, who were dressed in their 1830's best, performing on the city hall steps, (which, @recstar24, was unpredictably lovely and a reminder of the importance of singing and performance) saw some jazz further down the street, and generally saw lots of people out and about. A nice reminder than not every place is Hartford.

Great to hear! Here’s hoping that’s a tradition that continues (outdoor choral ensemble singing).

headphone soundstage is an auditory illusion created by the recording itself and influenced heavily by ones gear and mental state.

I have doubts about Grado caring about your note.

I would argue that Grado upon seeing said Note would take extra care in making sure the drivers were definitely replaced and fucked with.

Bah... I should have bought those but I was trying to be "responsible." I need to stop that.

My basement rig is essentially a HC hand me down sloppy seconds rig and it’s like amazing 

[New KEF LS50 Meta & LS50 Wireless II]

great to hear. Still enjoying my shelly hand me down Kef I's.  They are in a basement digital rig and with the help of Jim's hand me down NAD m51 dac some of that treble harshness people report on appears to be mitigated to a certain extent in my situation.

I still adore my ECP L2 with my HD800s but my listening has switched entirely to the Raal SR1a.  I'm not eager to let the amp go, but if any ECP-curious folks would like to hear one of life's great pleasures, let me know.  I'm happy to find a reasonable price for the HC faithful.

PM 🤦‍♂️

I think Elusive Disc is above board. It did say backordered so I am not sure what that will actually mean tomorrow.

Cool, elusive disc is impex’ primary distributor (that’s where I got mine from). I’m assuming they’ll keep your order intact and send it to you once they receive stock back.

Done. Thanks.

You made sure to get this particular IMPEX reissue, yes?

(they’re backordered everywhere so just wanted to make sure you didn’t kill money on a bootleg or something)

[What vinyl are you spinning now?]

This is an impex reissue of early Columbia era Sinatra, and historically was his first album to feature him on all swing, uptempo tunes. I have never heard Frank sound this real! Impex knocked it out of the park mastered from original master tape, gatefold cover and some of the best liner notes in booklet form I’ve ever read. $35! Insane value. Please buy now.

[Adding subwoofer for stereo playback]

Yes, that is how I have it connected. That is their high-level input. It connects to the Parasound power amp speaker outputs so the the Moths and the REL see exactly the same acoustic signal. Seems to work as the integration sounds good and the set-up was quick and easy.

Cool. Yeah I’ve been talking with Bryan and he basically recommends the same concept. Final ? - I’m assuming that since you’re running basically two parallel sets of cables from your power amp binding loads. you’re using a combo of bananas and spades? So like bananas to your moths, and the spades/speakon to the REL sub?
