  1. That's something called "hype". If you want to fall for the hype, we won't stop you, but please don't perpetuate it here. You have to understand something about Head-Fi. Their enthusiasm for the next new thing comes in waves; we refer to it as the "flavour of the month" syndrome. Occasionally, one of those products may actually be better than the standard bearers, but we wouldn't know, because most of them are not. My advice to you is, settle on what you want, be it a KSGG Klassik or a JDS Labs Atom or a Headamp Pico Power (that's smallish) or a Massdrop Objective 2 or whatever, and get it and live with it for a while. And watch the waves.
  2. O! My second favourite dessert of all time, WANT!
  3. Everything I know about aioli, I learned from this page. So I apologize for any inaccuracies and welcome corrections. The page corroborates what you said, but that has not been my experience with store bought aioli. Just garlic, oil, and a tiny bit of salt is exactly what I was looking for.
  4. Happy belated, hope it was a great one!
  5. Yeah, they said the same thing about tube designs when solid state first came out.
  6. Well, I know what garlic aioli is, as I’ve grown quite fond of it lately. I buy those rotisserie chickens from Wegmans and used to eat from them with hot sauce, but recently have been craving something with more garlic, so I tried that. Quite good, but wanted even more garlic, so I mixed it with garlic paste. I also looked up what an aioli was, and the question is, is the bacon actually part of the suspension? How does that work? Also, I’m going to start calling it garlioili from now on.
  7. I knocked a minute per mile off my speed on my evening walk. You real runners aren't going to be impressed, but I'm very happy I have my aerobic base back. https://www.mapmyrun.com/workout/3790273684?fbclid=IwAR1rg02aAxnT44NGOPrj-zJHUOhlP8nrnEOjLn46l1KQpyJLVf5DBZXFRSY
  8. “Bacon aioli“? Me: goa masala curry chicken takeout
  9. Audio gonna!
  10. Nice! I don’t have a Gibson singlecut archtop, but those are my current favourite styles. If I wasn’t downsizing, I’d want a Gibson.
  11. Actually, there are several fans here. Dude has range! Haven't heard much, though, myself. I should give them a listen, what with my recently burgeoning interest in The Pop Song. Me, listening to this great, lyrical, melodic, instrumental rock record https://kaleikia.bandcamp.com/album/oile-n-fada-2 They're from Sanxenxo, wherever that is.
  12. Vindaloo and Roti
  13. My max might be interested in your mom...
  14. If you can find a Creek OBH-11SE, that’d be excellent experimental solid state for very little outlay; otherwise I’d start with a Headamp Pico Power. MHO
  15. That Cocteau Twins is superb. Me, now, don't mean to be a cliche, but...damnbient:
  16. I'm getting at that age (of sleep deprivation/planned obsolescence) that you need to repeat things. And thanks for the link, will read that one too. Also, this:
  17. ...which led (in the twitter thread) to this:
  18. Excellent. I don't know if you remember, but I went through a film noir phase a couple years ago, but somehow missed this one. It's not perfect, and I certainly wouldn't call it the best British film ever made, but I very much enjoyed it for what it was. My favourite aspect was the morally complex character development in several of the characters, and the very real emotional struggles of the main character. The "four countries" aspect reminded me of Park Chan-wook's Joint Security Area a bit. But I can already see how it is more representative of European relations. Now I need to go read the article.
  19. Thanks. I presume it's that almost-electric-piano-through-some-sort-of-modulation-pedals sound? Yeah, one of my favourite patches on the Prophet 5 was a (self-) modified version of their Electric Piano patch. I really need to get my Prophet 5 fixed so that I can recreate it. I haven't been able to recreate it on the Prophet 6 or the Arturia virtual Prophet 5 instrument well enough to my liking. I love the song titles on that album. (I have many Recycle Or Die albums, including that one.) Also, unrelated, I thought this video might interest you (unless I got it from you, which I probably did):
