This wonderful performance of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor

They're probably just using an old photograph.

Well, no, that's not what I meant, and I'm as quickly annoyed by that when I hear a channel drop, I usually pick up on it within seconds. Try listening to the beginning of Fairies Wear Boots with only the left or right channel, it's a completely different song. I know on my old Pioneer receivers, some of them have a mono button that just sums the two channels, and I know it's a rarity, but they still show up now and then. But sounds like you already have most of it in place, so that was just to clarify. Have you already sorted the short problem? I presume you did.

New Taylor Swift is not old Taylor Swift. I need a high-res screencap of that sneer

So how married is your friend to the idea of stereo? Perhaps just run the center/summing channel and one speaker in each of the outboard rooms? I know some amps come with a mono switch. When I use speakers, I only ever hear stereo when I’m in the sweet spot. When I’m in the next room or other end of the room, mono would be good enough. The only other thing I can think of is, get rid of the autoformers and use the two leads for the hot part of stereo, implement a truly single ended solution and use the house ground for both channels’ return/ground. Maybe you can use the autoformers to protect the inputs and prevent crosstalk. One more silly idea — use a broadcast codec, but you’d need two per, one each side.

Yeah, me too. I need an animated gif of the girl with her mouth open at 32:24 of the first episode (of the second season) -- I must've rewound that scene about 5 times until I could stop laughing enough to continue.

Game of Thrones spoiler:

This would be my recommendation, except maybe network instead.

I'd be curious how easy the K1000s were to measure -- according to the video, these suffer all the same variability and sensitivity to position that the K1000s did. But yeah, at US$4K, not even curious.

So...Andrew W.K., except pop?

So not just T-Rex, but Jesus T-Rex? Awesome.

Listened to everything by Katatonia on Tidal, decided I still like Katatonia more'n Leprous, but then listened to Leprous and decided, I still like Leprous an awful fucking lot. Now listening to Spacecraft. Ambient fucking heaven.

TMW you realize there's a guy being arrested in the background, and you realize that doesn't matter.

So painfully hot foods used to hurt...twice (as the comedian said), but I have something going on deep in my intestines, so now it would hurt three times. I think I'll take your advice, despite the temptation not to. Does it have any flavour? PS Thanks for taking one for the team.

Daw!

Happy birthday, Marc! (party favour noise)

Daw!

Yay! A year of not shitting myself will be a very good year. Thanks again everyone!

Splash of color on a black background — my favourite! Thank you, I will keep it and cherish and make it my desktop background.

Cool, thanks for sharing! Hope you feel better.

I need to get that. Did you get it or rent it? And if you got it, which version did you get? I'm tempted to get the box set.
