That sucks Al. I hope it's nothing too serious.

Got in a 3 mile run then a few hours in the office. Once home, I took out the pork shoulder to bring to room temp then began smoking. I made some NC style and Memphis style BBQ sauce for the pulled pork tonight. Welcome back Alex.

Love tacos.

Before it was devoured: Tomorrow, smoked pork shoulder for pulled pork sandwiches.

Dinner tonight:

My Amarra 4 is my digital source, phono pre (Due to the lack of mic preamps on mine which is an LIO-8, requires an SUT or HO cart.) and a preamplifier. I am also using the headphone out with my JH13's and it is definitely up to the task. It's probably the best home amp that I've used with the JH13's in terms of it being dead silent, no hiss whatsoever. It is a significant step up from the ULN-2, which I really enjoyed during the time I owned.

Different color paint.

I need to have all you guys over for a BBQ. Tile done but still more work to do:

Before: After:

There really is no place else for me to go digitallly. Now analog, I guess you are right.

I hope one of the exhibitors is bringing the Merlins. Merlin is not in the list of attendees. I want to hear zMerlin, Salk and Amphion. I think Saturday will be all day auditioning speakers and some amps since I'm set source wise. I'm probably set all the way around but I am tempted by speakers at the moment, despite liking my Amphions

This was late since I didn't run with the group. I should have left an hour earlier to beat the heat. The last hour was hot. Next week is 18.

Finished a 10 miler and cooling done before I meet Miguel who will be handing off a HiFiMAN HM-602 and HM-801 for me to try out. Thanks Miguel.

Everyone is allergic to those.

Send a pm to JP, he is Mr. CJ.

What's wrong with grilling in November?

That sucks Dinny. I had one vacation where I had to fly to a hearing that I had to cover and could not get moved.

I used Sonic Console and picked the 304 Sonicloop Digital, if that means anything to you. The thing is lit up like a digital Christmas tree.

Al, nice job on the birthday presents. I bought my wife an iPad for her birthday yesterday. Got the Amarra 4 to make music on my own and it's beautiful music.

Only that the new software upgrade is coming in November.

Send them when you get a chance tonight. Thanks. Unknown at this time.

I just ordered a new nano and ATV, mostly for Netflix streaming. Now I have to return the shuffle I just bought for my wife and get her a nano as well.

Me too. Now I need Jp to email the template he has so hopefully getting music out of it is not as much of a challenge.

Not as cute as the babies we have seen recently but not bad:

Glad to hear it CJ. I know you worked hard to get your PhD in Math so you can join the ranks of the millions upon millions of lawyers. Great job! Manuel, congrats! Also, just learned from the Vet that one of my dogs is hypothyroid. I pick up her meds this afternoon.
