Voltron

sounds good. and tasty

Good gets, Dinny. Curious about the Park Ave whiskey. Have you had it?

Give it a shot, so to speak.

Or even straight up my friend.

Tequila can certainly great but it can also be good in silver/clear form.

Yeah, you're probably right. I don't think I could get back here by 2:30 with her party is over.

Prolly not. And I have to get sober by 11pm so I can take my daughter to her two friends' "sweet 16" party at a local theater with an Austin band called Harlem. I am very dubious about this evening's festivities.

Gene is my hero. I hope you take the amp with you up North so you can keep enjoying it. I am having gear anxiety between just SF and Mayberry so it must be weird to go for months without some of your listening options.

If those were in my house right now I would eat them with gusto. Damn the 2039 miles between us right now, because I would really like to be drinking and hanging out with you right now.

My conscience is shocked. I just had a simple quesadila with pepper jack cheese. Tasty. But still hungry.

Shovel-worthy. The new catch phrase.

I didn't taste the whisky but he did have a few wonderful BrewDog options. Emelius need not apply. And you weren't drinking gin even then.

Definitely as good a gin as Ardbeg is a whisky. Duggeh brought a bottle to DanJam and it was excellent. The cocktail I just mixed is similarly excellent and at 95 proof it is nice and strong.

If it's not Scottish [gin], it's crap! Yes, it is good gin, and I am building a cocktail with it now.

That's awesome Nate! And not just because it benefits me. It also eases my guilt level. Er, I mean, it is cool that the mill works so well and makes you a more efficient retired builder!

You've been away too long, and violated the single "congrat" rule that Tice put into place. 5 demerit.

That's not a lot. Mine says 184.

I think Vicki and others have liked the Yuin ear buds (PK-1 or 2) but I have never tried them. The little in-ears at Head-Direct are also a possibility as Jin pointed out. I probably have some Uncle Wilson IEMs lying around if you want me to look and send them to you, Carl.

Yes, but it was over the phone, and I wasn't using Facetime because I don't have an iPhone 4.

I am sure it will get resolved quickly. It already sounded good--it just didn't function properly. The guy at the shop says they notoriously take 500 hours to burn in before they sound good. Even as someone who believes in burn-in to some extent, that sounded lame, but I didn't bother to discuss/debate it. It is actually even more gorgeous than I remembered. The volume and selector wheels alone will bring hours of fascination and satisfaction.

I'd like to see the QA info on this as well, but I don't think they are likely to provide it. I still have my boxes with the serial no. on them because the shop is shipping it in their boxes. Plus, I still have the warranty card that has the serial no. pre-marked. The firmware was FW Rev. D. The shop said that if the unit is replaced then Ayre will void the serial no.

K-XR is on its way back to Ayre. Shop says they think it will be one of Ayre's top priorities. I think I should get a QB-9 as a consolation prize.
