I'm waiting for the Analaxitive mod.

Leonard Cohen -- Popular Problems

That I did not know! Not telling my daughter, who only agreed to move to England on the basis that it had no volcanos. Why this was her primary concern, again, I do not know.

The problem is the fucking ugly-ass headphone jack. [emoji35]

Thanks Birgir. I don't find my set bright at all -- whether due to Stax's efforts or my own tin ears -- so it's all good.

Bringing this over from the LIO train wreck -- apologize for being so out of the loop but what was the "fix" and when did it surface? I'm enjoying the hell out of the 009 and BHSE combo.

Happy birthday Dan!

Seriously, though, I'm getting full lockups on pretty simple web pages -- which I've never seen before in many years of happy surfing.

Anyone else getting a ton of beachballs in Safari recently?

Twin Shadow -- Forget

Even a dusting can be a PITA. Just landed back in England and have been sitting on the taxiway for an hour now after a brief, apparently unexpected, flurry left every single departing aircraft at Gatwick with just enough visible snow on the wings to require deicing. We are number three in line for 777 stands as they do start to open up -- so I reckon it'll be a good while yet. Poop.

I died a little when I saw one on the new Pass Labs headphone amp

Objection your honour! Calls for speculation.

There's a sharp end? [emoji2] Agreed though, either upside the head.

Happy Birthday!

Dark blurple best blurple.

Happy Birthday Steve!

Happy Birthday!

I approve of breakfast wine, needless to say ...

Speaking of WAT!? I enjoyed this gem which landed in my inbox today in regards to another ephemeral "upgrade" -- in this case a firmware revision for a popular DAC. Emphasis mine:

Happy Birthday! It's been too long!

Holy smokes. That would have driven me insane by now. Hand in there MA crew! Edit: MasNowsNowsNowsNowsNowsNowsetts.
