Happy Birthday!

New HBO series based on Philip Pullman book trilogy. Stars James McAvoy, Ruth Wilson and Dafne Keen. I caught the first episode and will be watching it, even though I haven't read the books.

I bought the album after listening to these based on this post. Actually, these guys remind me of Roxy Music alot. I will have to say that this is massively overproduced (even though I do like it).

I've been watching (and enjoying) it, and have never read the comics. I did see the movie however. Don't know that I'm entirely lost, and the HBO show seems much different than the movie, from what I recall of it...

Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited tour. Really good show, Selling England by the Pound done in entirety, plus some of his solo work from Spectral Mornings and At the Edge of Light, which I had never heard before, and for the most part really enjoyed. I wasn't feeling very well yesterday/last night, but I wasn't missing this. We were in the last row of the main floor, and I didn't wander down close to the stage. I did walk down the aisle a bit to get out from under the balcony, which improved the sound a bit, but it wasn't bad at all where we were at. Beth enjoyed it as well.

RIP GInger

RIP Jessye... her Four Last Songs recording/performance was wonderful. Funny, I saw the CSO do the Nielsen 4th earlier this year, paired with Four Last Songs. The soprano on that couldn't hold a candle to Ms. Norman.

Happy Birthday!

Mouser (US) has all of these in stock...

I use a pair of Optivisors with the strongest (10x ?) lenses. If I did much of this stuff I'd be getting a microscope...

One of the tweakier things I've done. My twin brother is back in the states for a month and brought a couple of pairs of KZ ZS-6s with him that he has had for awhile. He had previously talked me into buying a pair of KZ ZS-10s, but I found them unlistenable due to their excessive high end. A few months ago, I had run across a post on diyhifi from Thorsten Loech (aka, Kuei Yang Wang) regarding some mods he had done to these. These are apparently a clone (looks-wise) of Campfire Audio Andromedas, which he apparently liked. Patrick (EUVL) on diyaudio also did this and seemed to like them, so WTF. Like I need something else to do right now. I sent a link to this to my brother, and hence, here I am trying to solder shit much smaller than I am comfortable with So after some fun, I got both pairs of them done, and surprise, they are actually quite listenable for me! I really kind of like them, but still need to tame the high end a bit. At least my brother told me if I did this, I could have one pair of them. Listening to some Catherine Wheel Chrome right now (still one of my favs... those guys were fucking good!). Stock, they are like this: After removing a miniscule cap and resistor (102? barely the size of the end of my tweezers), and rewiring the balanced armature (BA) tweeters from parallel to serial, and replacing the resistor with a 7.5ohm MELF and the cap with a reasonably sized Panasonic ECP-U, they look like this: Sorry for the fuzzy iPhoneXR pics, but best I could do this time of night...

Happy Birthday Stretch!
