  1. Over my break, a friend and I did a dry aged strip proper justice in the hacked-together sous vide:

    3 hours in the cooker then seared on the grill. Possibly one of the best steaks I've ever had and certainly the best I've ever cooked. Now I also have an Anova arriving Thursday.

  2. Mike, that roast looks fantastic.

     

    I recently tried a chicken breast and asparagus and the chicken came out better than I could have imagined. The asparagus was good but not exceptional. I decided I'm getting an Anova sooner rather than later.

     

    For Japanese curry, it was always a thing I ate growing up. It's best with leftover ham and whatever vegetables are available. That said I have made this recipe and highly recommend it. The only thing I couldn't find and was too lazy to make was the torigara stock so I substituted half dashi and half chicken stock.

  3. Thanks to everyone who showed up, especially Jacob for making food and drinks. Sorry again for it turning into a bit of a cluster fuck. Next time I'll check the game schedule ahead of time to avoid all the craziness.

     

    I did actually get to do some listening at one point. Jim's Omega's out of the KGSSHV were sublime. All the delicious liquid tweaks made it that much better.

  4. Jacob, I will bring my tools on Friday then. It can happen. I probably won't get out of a meeting until 3 so the very earliest I can get down to Cinci is 4ish but I'll see if I can't reschedule.

     

    I think I met Peanut at Party Source's bar one day.

  5. A few updates: we'll have the meeting space from 8am-6pm but feel free to arrive whenever. There is loading dock access just in case you are bringing a dual-mono T2 and the room number should be 400A but that could change.

     

    I'll be bringing:

    KGSSHV: Topless Edition, Twisted Pear Opus, M3, Lambda Nova Classic, HD580, AKG K340 and some form of liquid tweaks

     

    Also up for consideration is my old solid state exstata. If anyone is interested, I can bring that too.

  6. Last week I ordered a Marantz SR5007 from East Coast TVs. My first mistake was not doing some more research into the company and blindly ordering from them. I thought I got a good deal on a discontinued product. The next day I got a call from a sales rep saying they were out of stock but he'd gladly get me a price on a 5008 on Monday.

     

    Monday I got no response. This morning I still hadn't gotten anything so I sent out an email. Got back from class and I still didn't have anything so I tried calling. While I spent 10 minutes on hold, I started doing some research and these guys run some shady deals and they definitely aren't authorized sellers of any of their stock. Also their discount they advertise is only for paying in cash, check or money order. When I finally got a hold of the guy, I just cancelled the order. Went with a factory refurbished model from a more reputable seller for a bit more money.

     

    tl;dr don't buy from East Coast TVs

  7. It looks like we'll have enough folks for a quorum. Some details:

     

    I have a room/meeting space for anyone who wants to bring/listen to gear. It's at the Tangeman University Center at the University of Cincinnati and I will have the room for the majority of the day. Parking is unfortunately $10 for the day.

     

    The closest hotel for those interested is the Kingsgate Marriott. It is about 1 Mile from the center. I couldn't get a space at the hotel, they were having some big conference that weekend.

     

    It is also, as Todd pointed out, Head-Case's 8th birthday that day. With that in mind, I wasn't planning on advertising this anywhere else.
