It is a great amp. May not be as sophisticated as some of the newer designs, but it is exceptional in my humble opinion. Best of luck. HS

LOL...on the Mr. Moore bit. I saw this late last night and had gone down the rabbit recently on his collection (streaming not owned). Thought there might be some confusion, but at least you have good taste RIP, Ms. Zizi... HS

I have to admit, that car is as classic and classy as it gets in that platform. Not my cup of tea, but it's a looker. HS

So far the Onyx Coffee Lab selections have been great. My favorite thus far of three I've sampled is the Columbian Rio Paez. Very forward apple note which is a treat. High quality stuff...thumbs up for the caffeine inclined.... HS

Looks very retro, ER. I like it. Sorry about the NS...you're far too young to be dealing with that. HS

I looked at them. Might do one of these days. I've got a couple of NATO's for another watch that should work for a test spin. If I ever get the JR band off of it I might just try them. Haven't quite got there with the NATO's thus far other than on a more casual watch. I'm behind the times...LOL HS

Awesomely! Look forward to seeing them, ER. You're spot on. I've seen some amazing Speedies with all kinds of bands. I don't mix it up much...I should do. Just easier for me to grab a watch and go. Maybe that will change once I retire... Or not...LOL. HS

Very cool, ER. Surprised they didn't include some wrist shots for context. Hopefully you'll post some so we can see how it looks on you. Might be an option for my FOIS. I'm still enamored with the JR alligator band. I never put on the beads of rice band on my Aquascaphe...always have the blue rubber one as it's so comfortable and suits the watch IMO, but who knows... HS

Coffee Drinkers? (or other hot beverages)
I've been consuming coffee at home more rapidly than normal due to the work at home rotation I've been on a couple of weeks. That ends after the holiday we're celebrating Stateside on Monday, but my coffee stores were low so I pulled the trigger on some Onyx Coffee Labs goodies....a sample pack and a couple of Indonesian roasts that looked interesting. Reason I'm posting is an app I use found a code IWASNAUGHTY that saved me 15% and shipping is free on orders over $25 right now. Thought I'd share... HS

Coffee Drinkers? (or other hot beverages)
I've had the opportunity to spend time with all the Heart roasters coffees purchased using the Chemex and the French Press (even the Hoffman method a time or two). I do recommend the sample pack #2 which included two Ethiopians and two Kenyan coffees, described as more fruit and flower. I also added a 12oz bag of Columbian La Toma to enjoy the free shipping. A few observations: they choose and handle the coffees well. Very approachable roasts. The beans look attractive (of varying sizes depending on variety) with very few broken bits and they are roasted to medium based on the five coffees which is a sweet spot for my tastes. My favorite has been the Ethiopian Gedeb which has notes of rose oil, peach and sugarcane. I have to say their descriptions are more sophisticated than I am accustomed to and, frankly, I can sometimes identify. One of the Kenyans was my next favorite. Overall, I'm pleased this thread has me casting my net wider...I can be a creature of habit (understatement...). I believe I'll try Onyx Coffee Lab next once I start running low... HS

Godspeed, Don... I was born in Miami and recall as a pup the city exploding on the second Super Bowl win back to back. It was something. Great memories of a class act. RIP, Mr. Greenfied... HS
