  1. God I hate installing carts Managed not to blow anything up, as the pass ono requires opening the top to access the MC settings and add a jumper for setting gain šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø at least the cart was pretty easy to install due to threaded mounting holes and the cart pins actually lining up directly with the headshell pins. gratuitous doggie pics!
  2. Not necessarily reading, but some good stuff in there
  3. Music Matters Jazz Reissues, final SRX drops were today!
  4. We adopted a dog! Her name is Olive šŸ„°
  5. The ATC room has always been the highlight for me at the past few axponas. Iā€™m a fan of the actives only because you get to rid of a box. Some of the ā€œcheaperā€ ones donā€™t have the same kind of bass extension, so Iā€™d recommend getting the most expensive ones you can afford šŸ˜­
  6. Bryan is correct - mineral oil is whatā€™s recommended, at least for the wooden cupped headphones. EDIT: the stuff is pretty viscous and goopy, start with a small amount on say a q tip and just work it through slowly.
  7. Happy birthday Chris! Hopefully youā€™ll have some time away from the soldering gun to enjoy this weather!
  8. Yes! My biggest familiarity with woodworking is through luthier friends, I have a bud that makes cellos and another that is an accomplished guitar maker. The guitar guy uses hide glue construction exclusively, and typically his solid tops and backs are perfectly bookmatched to ensure that nice consistent look. Cheers!
  9. Youā€™ve got me missing axpona now the daedalus speakers in person really highlight the quality of the wood and overall craftsmanship. Sorry Bryan but I ainā€™t helping you bring them down into the listening room.
  10. Much respect to the hide glue. Old school construction, kudos.
  11. Itā€™s a Matthew sweet 90ā€™s kind of day:
  12. Rice in microwave works for me. 2:1 water to rice ratio (family of 4 we do 1 cup rice 2 cups water) microwave on high for 5 minutes, take out and stir, 10 minutes at 50% power, voila! Kind of shaming my Filipino ancestry but what can you do...
  13. Compressed Apple Music 9.99 a moth ftmfw right hurr
  14. That head shell is pretty trippy man
  15. Local roaster shut down services recently, and have transitioned successfully to Dunkinā€™ Donuts original blend lol. Surprisingly balanced and a smooth and easy enough drink for me personally.
  16. The last 3 nights have all concluded with some John Prine šŸ˜„ jazzing it up with some sidewinder
  17. HBD to the big guy! Hereā€™s hoping we can do a cheers in June!
  18. Iā€™m spinning all my BN catalog with Tyner in memoriam tonight started with real McCoy, finishing up some side work with Freddie Hubbard, and will next move on to his work with Wayne shorter. RIP
