I have a "Mustang" nubuck. It's now black, as I dropped fountain pen ink on it, so I dyed it black (I also waxed it and textured it with a brass brush). I've worn mine quite a bit, and I haven't had much in the way of stretching. Great straps.
Linguini made with tomato oil, copious garlic, toasted pine nuts, fresh basil, spinach, and parsley, sundried tomatoes, gorgonzola, cream, parm, and linguini. This was earlier tonight.
Applied for a bunch of jobs, then made and served a bunch of pasta, and then played a bunch of board games while listening to a bunch of LPs. Not a bad Thursday evening.
I'm interested in the Elear. I still need to get my DAC-1 and my HeadRoom Stack fixed (should be sending both out this week), but I was thinking about getting the HD-800S. I loved the soundstage of the HD-800 (owned them twice), but even modded, the treble and lack of warmth eventually grated on me. If I could use my Extreme I would, but it picks up radio signals in my apartment (perfect storm of bad locations).
The Elear is pretty warm, right? I'd love something that split the difference between my vintage RS-1 and the HD-800, while being better than either.
I used to have an HDCD capable CD player (modded music hall something or other). I never noticed much of a difference, but I always liked it when the orange (I think it was orange) light came on.
I'm a lot older than you, and I've had no issues with texting. It is rather snappier than iOS 9 was on my 6S+, and I like the notification center upgrades.
These were really, really good. I think you could get away with an immersion blender or regular blender for the soup, but a 1400 watt unit really made for a fantastic texture.
